Allahu Akbar

Well, yes. God is the Most High, the Lord of Hosts. But how does that tie in to blowing oneself to shreds in order to take out some of your fellow Muslims? When was that tactic ever used in Biblical history or the Koran?

If God is all powerful, why does he need the help of mere mortals, especially alienated and misdirected young people, to kill others? The story of Sodom and Gommorah seems to show that when a society has become as wicked as Islamist radicals claim Western nations are, he has no trouble putting an end to them. Why does he need Al Qaeda or any of these clerics who keep sending off young people loaded with explosives and schrapnel?

Lslam teaches that Mohammed was the last and greatest of the prophets. If Wahhab or his disciples are so sure that God wanted his people to engage in kamikaze tactices, why didn't he say so in the Koran? Or are Osama, et al., claiming some new revelation, which would make them prophets, in contradiction to Mohammed?

It reminds one of those Star Trek episodes where some mechanical intelligence was unable to resolve the logical conflicts between its programming and its actions and melted down just in time to save the crew.
