Jihad
October 23, 1983 – Two truck bombs exploded in Beirut, Lebanon. The first struck the Marine baracks with explosives equivalent to over 12,000 lbs of TNT. 241 American servicemen: 220 Marines, 18 Navy personnel, and three Army soldiers died.
An additional sixty Americans were injured in the blast. Moments later, a second truck exploded, leveling an eight-story building, killing 58 French paratroopers.
A total of 299 servicemen died on that day with the organization Islamic Jihad claiming responsibility after receiving help from the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Merriam-Webster Online defines Jihad as: 1. a holy war, or 2. a crusade for a principle or belief.
This Marine Corps t-shirt design keys on the belief that the tables can be turned on radical Islam and you don’t have to clutch a Koran to wage Jihad or a crusade.
Your day will come Iran.
