Zarqawi’s a weirdo

Maybe I’m overreacting but I can’t wrap my head around this excerpt from the Boston Globe story titled “In Arab world, Zarqawi tactics bred disgust – Killing of Muslims fed rifts, many say”:

"If you are fighting foreigners, how come you kill 5,000 Iraqis or other innocent civilians and only a few Americans?" said Akhras, who said the beliefs of Osama bin Laden and his followers never appealed to him. ``They have a weird mentality. It is not our religion at all."

If the opposite of “damning with faint praise” is “praising with faint damning” then this has got to be a prime example. Osama probably puts ketchup on his scrambled eggs, too.
