What ever happened to "Sticks and Stones....?" Apparently we are doing it all wrong. A new study published in London says the best way to win the fight against the a-Qaeda terrorists is via satire and ridicule. Words CAN really harm them.

The three researchers Jamie Bartlett, Johnathan Birdwell and Michael King believe that defeating the Islamist movement is as much about winning the battle of ideas and undermining Al-Qaeda's counter-culture cachet as it is about conventional anti-terrorism operations. They suggest that al-Qaeda needs to be stripped of its glamour by emphasising the incompetent and theologically incompatible side of al-Qaeda inspired terrorists through the use of satire.

Not for nothing...but doesn’t ridicule have to be something too fantastic to be really true?

[parsifal]

Good idea. Bragging, but I had it way back on September 12, 2001.

I like it, cheap and easy:

Yo moma eats from a pig trough!
Yo mama so ugly she hast to wear a Burka make out of pigskin!

They use their hand because they have not toilet paper.

I bet Bin Laden is hung like a three month old piglet.

But...but...but...didn’t the DemocRATS already decide that ridicule is “torture” under the Genava Convention? You’re not supposed to hurt your enemy’s feelings before you kill him.

I think its a great tool but that's all it is.

I think you mean:

Your father was a hamster guini pig and your mother smells of elderberries..

[autumnraine]

Yes, but please do not fart in my general direction.

[Hypo]

I’m starting to see a pattern. Quiet the opposition with Alinsky tactics.

I wonder if obama has read this study yet.

CORRECTION NEEDED: Apparently we are doing it all wrong. A new study published in London says the best way to win the fight against the al-Qaeda terrorists islam is via satire and ridicule. Words CAN really harm them.

This is why they hated the wonderful Danish cartoons. Not because they offended the killer-pedophile, but because it was a winning strategy.

Also pointing out that the people who yell the loudest for suicide bombing and promote it the most do not seem to want to do it themselves. It is remarkable that is isn't mentioned that Bin Laden is doing all he can to avoid being martyr. Also Ayatollah Kominei died at 88 with his sandals off and in bed.

Love the idea, except it’s probably considered “hate speech” and punishable by jail. If not that, be prepared to lose your job over it. Political correctness will be the death of this once great nation.
