Explosion in China

Yesterday a car exploded at Tiananmen Square in China.  For 25 points and a chance to advance into the next go round....

Who do you think was responsible for the deadly explosion?

A)  Outraged Lutherans advocating gay marriage?
B)  Incensed Buddhists told reincarnation wasn't real?
C)  Upset Methodists who are sick of Chinese food at church potlucks?
D)  Muslims who are blowing themselves up in holy jihad?
E)  This is a religious question and I refuse to answer.

Now let's go to the New York Times to see if we can find an answer.

BEIJING — The Chinese authorities announced on Wednesday the arrest of five people described as Islamic jihadists who they say helped orchestrate an audacious attack on the political heart of the nation that left five people dead.

In a brief message posted on its microblog account, the Beijing Public Security Bureau said the men, all ethnic Uighurs from China’s western Xinjiang region, had enlisted a family of three to drive a vehicle across a crowded sidewalk on Monday and then ignite the car at the foot of the Tiananmen Gate. Two tourists were killed and 40 people were injured as the vehicle sped toward the entrance to the Forbidden City, just yards from the iconic portrait of Chairman Mao.

The occupants of the car – identified by the police as Usmen Hasan, his wife and his mother – died as it went up in flames. The police say that in addition to gasoline and a gas canister, investigators recovered from the vehicle two axes, metal clubs and a banner bearing “religious extremist messages.” The police did not disclose the content of those messages.
      

“This was a violent terrorist act that was carefully planned and organized,” the statement said.

      

The police said the five men were arrested 10 hours after the attack and had confessed their involvement. They said investigators had discovered long knives and a “jihadist” flag in the temporary residence where the suspects were staying. It is unclear why the authorities delayed the announcement of the arrests by more than a day.

If you answered D, Islamic jihadists...then give yourself 25 points for this one, but NEVER RULE OUT ANGRY LUTHERANS AND METHODISTS as being capable of similar violence!!

 

After all, we need to stay vigilant and watch ALL religions equally....because that is the politically correct thing to do.
