If you read the full passage and understand it in its context, Jesus was in fact testing this woman's faith. Testing faith was something he did often to many people in many different forms. This woman's daughter was in fact healed by Jesus. Your interpretation certainly contradicts almost everything else that Jesus said, i.e. love your enemies, do unto those what you would have done unto you etc and would therefore appear incorrect.

well done, simon, u old dog, u. i was merely testing ur faith...

Family and friends told police that Faleh Hassan Amaleki, 48, a resident of Glendale, had become upset with his daughter because she had become too ‘westernized'.

“For a traditional Muslim family, that disrespect was the ultimate insult to my father,”



.

It is as simple as that.

Truly disturbing to read that part of the article.

And these people,claim they're the same as us just like Get Real who makes the same claim.

Hundreds of people displaced by fighting had been receiving food at a distribution centre.

Reports say at least another 50 people have been injured and the death toll could risem

A possible explanation for the incident (which would not occur to those who are in favour of the objectives of Western powers) could be:-

That those who oppose Western interference, find it objectionable and hypocritical of the West, to offer 'Aid' to those that they are forcing deprivation upon (due to their actions) in the first place.

It may well be, that the action of the 'Suicide Bomber' was meant as a warning to any others that may be contemplating embracing the Western hypocrisy (by accepting 'Aid') since (a) The price of the 'Aid' may be far too high and (b) acceptance might be seen as capitulation.

Make no mistake, there are people on this earth who STILL have the capacity to recognize duplicity and chicanery, even though it may take the form of 'Aid' to the needy.

Providing the 'Victim' is unaware of who the 'Attacker' is, then it is a simple matter for the 'Attacker' to administer to the wounds of the 'Victim' and thus secure the allegiance of a grateful friend.

The actual 'Suicide Attack' was an awful event BUT, no less awful than the actions which preceded and indeed encouraged them in the first instance. (IMHO)

"Make no mistake, there are people on this earth who STILL have the capacity to recognize duplicity and chicanery, even though it may take the form of 'Aid' to the needy"

And in this case , assuming they used your reasoning, "seeing through the evil western duplicity"- they strap on an explosive belt or fill a car with exlosives and kill 40 or so of there own impoverished countrymen.

Damn thats an enlightened and intelligent reponse to the issue- we really need more clear thinking intellectuals like that .

Happy Christmas to you -
