SATIRE ALERT State Department Praises Hamas-Fatah Alliance
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 10 Oct 2014 | John Semmens

Posted on 10/11/2014 10:28:08 AM PDT by John Semmens

A thawing of the rivalry between Hamas and Fatah was hailed by State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki as “a positive step toward resolving the issue of Zionist occupation of Palestinian lands. This helps thwart Israel’s attempt to drive a wedge between Muslims.”

“From a broader perspective anything that stops Muslims from fighting amongst themselves is an encouraging development,” Psaki said. “Different sects of Islam have been warring against one another for centuries. Jihad is a noble endeavor that should not be frittered away on internal disagreements. This needlessly siphons off energy that could be more productively employed for the good of all Muslims. We look forward to the day when all Muslims are united in one ummah, not just in Palestine, but worldwide.”

In related news, the US State Department declined to condemn ISIS’s trafficking in slavery. As part of its reign of terror in Syria and Iraq, ISIS has kidnapped and sold an estimated 2500 Christian women as sex slaves for their jihadi warriors. “As I understand it, these transactions fall under the guidance of the Quran,” Psaki observed. “Condemning the sales just because they contradict western values would insensitively disregard the deeply held religious beliefs of over a billion Muslims. I mean, Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, held slaves. How could we justify criticizing his followers for emulating his model?”

Glad to see that someone finally got through to you to add a disclaimer header to the nonsense threads you routinely post.

Not really satire, of course. the differences between fat-arse and ham-ass is pretty small.

Your comment screams to the likelihood that you’ve really gotten suckered by Semmens in the past...

I've never read one of his silly articles, actually, but for those of us scanning down the thread titles, looking for worthy articles to read, his nonsense is merely clutter on an otherwise valuable news discussion site.

Labeling what he posts as "Satire" right up front allows readers to pass over nonsense with greater ease, and I welcome that.

You are free read his non-sense, of course, if you are inclined to waste your time like that. Years ago they used to frown on posting vanities in part for the same reason. Now it is common to call out Vanity postings with an up front statement too.

FReegards!

In actuality, Semmens got chastised by JimRob just last week...hence his new "Titling Mode"...

Guess I wasn't the only one who was annoyed, but I congratulate those who complained.
