The Butter Stick

Around 100 people have been killed, many more injured and hospitalized, as an Islamic suicide bomber crashed into a traditional New York City hotdog stand in Manhattan. Police confirm the attack was part of the Islamic “jihad” begun after September 11^th.

At approximately 4:35 pm Friday on East 53^rd Street, Manhattan, NY, an enraged taxi-cab suicide bomber by the name Isma’il Abdul-Aziz Zulfaqar drove directly into a hotdog stand operated by Jasper Jones, an African-American. 100 civilians are said to have died from the blast, as the cab crashed into Jones and skidded to a stop against the Sylvan-Marmora Hotel, where New York City firefighters put out the fire. Innocent bystanders were either engulfed by the flames or injured from a cloud of debris.

Zulfaqar had been a low-profile cabdriver in the Brooklyn and Manhattan area for eight years, having arrived from Syria in 1999. Four other suspects from Zulfaqar’s private records and police evidence have been arresting, one of which was found only three streets away. The suspects’ names were not yet released. The only police records on Zulfaqar had been passport fraud, before Republicans took office and reinforced American border control and security.

Police Chief Ronald Napier confirms on scene, “The crowd was absolutely terrified. You never think it can happen to you in your own city. We’re currently trailing four suspects and looking for further evidence.”

Mayor Bloomberg et al. appeared at 8:00 at Times Square and brought a candle for each recorded death a delivered a speech similar to that of Giuliani after 9/11, “Fellow citizens, today we are united once more as Americans, a common people, striving for justice, peace, and freedom in our nation.” He further assured New Yorkers that “No cowardly attack such as this can ever separate us from what the founders of this nation created for their grandchildren.”

Taking the war from New York City to Iraq and Afghanistan after the destruction of the World Trade Center towers, Cheney and the Bush administration have outdone themselves when affirming the nation’s security. There have been less American civilian deaths since the 9/11 tragedy than the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and Vietnam War put together. This is entirely due to the secure structure of Homeland Security, the closing off of American borders and amnesty to immigrants, the War on Terror and War in Iraq, and the prosecuting of dangerous Muslim criminals.

What happened Friday afternoon however, only assured the Bush administration that more needs to be done in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, North Africa, Syria, and Pakistan to assure the freedoms and securities of Americans are not destroyed and stepped on by a radical Islamic faction. If the ‘religion of peace’ is just that - peaceful, then why all do we suffer each day, fearing another murderous attack on humanity?

President Bush, in an emergency radio broadcast announced, “We will continue our fight for justice until our fight is just. We are not afraid. We’ll continue to root out these Islamic terrorists because we are not afraid.”

A scheduled televised appearance is expected sometime this afternoon accompanied by Homeland Security officials and select reporters.
