al-Qaeda is desperate. They are losing ground in Iraq, and the people of Iraq – the Muslims of Iraq – are turning up in ever greater numbers to fight and destroy Bloody Bin Laden’s movement. The reason is obvious, al-Qaeda is spilling ever more Muslim blood in a useless and counter productive attempt to force Iraqis to submit to them. And as al-Qaeda’s brutality continues to create an ever larger and ever spreading backlash, they cannot seem to stop themselves from ratcheting up their crimes against Islam. The image of al-Qaeda’s atrocities grows more stark with each passing day.

The unearthing of a mass grave of 20 students executed by al-Qaeda is one such view into the gruesome nature of al-Qaeda. The people of Diyala know who killed these young people. al-Qaeda takes credit for their crimes againt humanity, leaving little doubt. And, as promised, their bloody holy month of Ramadan is coming to fruition as well:

A suicide truck bomber blew himself up Monday near a checkpoint in Abu Maria village on the Mosul-Talafar highway, killing at least six Iraqis and wounding 17 others, a police source said.

…

Meanwhile, a car bomb targeted the motorcade of chief of the al- Multaqa district in Kirkuk, Abdul-Kareem Nassif, killing one his guards and wounding six others.

Ten Iraqi civilians, including a child, were also wounded, some seriously, in the attack.

There are more incidents, as there will be tomorrow and the next day. And each day the tips against al-Qaeda increase, the number of al-Qaeda supporters and chiefs captured or killed notches up, and al-Qaeda’s death spiral continues. Islam will apply antibodies to the cancer that is al-Qaeda. The more Muslims al-Qaeda kill and torture the more Muslim voices that will be rising in outrage against al-Qaeda. Until al-Qaeda stops (and finally admits defeat in Iraq) this cycle will continue to grow opposition to al-Qaeda.
