What’s a hirabah – the answer

I wrote last week about the misuse of the Arabic language ( linked via title bar ), specifically the term hirabah.
I took this picture of a hairball my cat let loose of a while ago; as you can see, there’s not much difference between a hirabah and a hairball. The scuzball on the right had planned to become a suicide bomber, notice the vest of explosives strapped to his chest, but got taken out by one of our marksman; just a typical innocent civilian casualty murdered by our troops as John Murtha would say. I think the one on the left might be John Murtha.
