Why bomb a coffee shop in Gaza?

A new group of facists are establishing their presence in Gaza. The target of the bomb attack is an internet coffee shop. What on earth does this group mean when it warns about not complying with Islamic ethical standards? The group claiming responsibility for the bombing says that it warned the coffee shop owner that his business was in jeopardy.
This begs the question about what the Gaza Al Qaeda could mean by "ethical standards". Where are the ethics in blowing up the business of someone else? Where are the ethics in vandalism? Where are the ethics in murder-suicides? This is the Islamic season of Ramadan, when all good Muslims go on a public display with their fasting, making sure that everyone can see what they are doing. Could it be that young Muslims were heading for the coffee shop and breaking their fast? Was the coffee shop owner a Muslim, or was he perhaps a Christian? Did he serve Christians in his shop?
The bombing of an internet coffee shop and claiming that there was unethical behaviour is further proof of the hypocrisy that we are finding amongst Islamofacist jihadis. It is a double standard, for they are involved in violent behaviour and yet they proclaim that someone else is not behaving in an ethical manner? Please spare me such hypocrisy.
