Female comedian outrages Muslim cleric

By Associated Press

Friday, April 30, 2004

OSLO, Norway - The founder of suspected terror group Ansar al-Islam, normally cool under pressure, lost his temper when a female Muslim comedian jokingly lifted him off the ground before an audience.

Mullah Krekar, the former leader of a fundamentalist Islamic group of Kurds in northern Iraq, was participating in a debate over his new biography Tuesday evening. Krekar, a refugee in Norway since 1991, has become the country's highest profile Muslim after his repeated arrests, court cases, television appearances and now his book "My Own Words."

Comedian and women's rights activist Shabana Rehman - a well-known Muslim here as well - was in the audience for the debate and talked Krekar into allowing her to perform what she called a little test to see if he was a fundamentalist.

Pakistan-born Rehman walked onto the stage, grabbed the Mullah around the hips, and lifted him up.

"A man who can be carried by a woman can't be a fundamentalist," Rehman said to howls of laughter.

Krekar, who comes across as calm and tolerant in public appearances, exploded with rage and grabbed the microphone.

"She does not have the right to touch me. She is showing contempt for me. I can't accept this," the Oslo newspaper Aftenposten quoted Krekar as saying.

The mullah threatened a lawsuit, and demanded that all the photographers in the hall erase any pictures of him being lifted. But the images were broadcast on television and published in newspapers.

Rehman said the point was to see his reaction.

"If he is as tolerant and relaxed as he presents himself, he didn't need to react so strongly," she told the newspaper. "One who is not a fanatic would have gone along with such a joke."

Ansar al-Islam is suspected by the United States of links to the al-Qaida network and for involvement in suicide bombings targeting U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq.

Ummmmmmm...okay. What a weird story.

[cyborg]

BTW, he failed her test and she didn't need a blue ribbon panel to figure him out *LOL*

[Mr. Mojo]

All Islamists are in essence lightweights.

The founder of suspected terror group Ansar al-Islam, normally cool under pressure,...

Is there something not connecting with this statement?

[Enduring Freedom]

The reality is these lunatics are pathetic little boys filled with petty hate and envy who ambush innocent civilians.

These scumbags are not to be feared.

They are to be exterminated.

Only the Left (U.N., media, Democrats) stand in the way.

The question must be asked - DOES AMERICA START WITH THE LEFT?

intolerant bastardes.

rofl...

Ambrose, you absolutely cannot make this shxx up! right?

"the woman lifted me... I am humiliated."

[smonk]

"outraged Muslim cleric" is needlessly repetitive.

"The name's Francis Sawyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill you...."
"Ooooooh..."
"You just made the list, buddy. Also, I don't like no one touching my stuff. So just keep your meathooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. And I don't like nobody touching me. Any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you...."
"Lighten up, Francis."

And Sgt. Halka, with this big toe, is going to see how far he can stick it up your ass!

If a female comedian was able to lift him up off the ground, imagine what she could do to his pride:

[RichInOC]

I hope you were directing that to the good mullah.

[EGPWS]

Only the Left (U.N., media, Democrats) stand in the way.

Is THAT all? /sarcasm

[The_Media_never_lie]

Funny guys, these Islamists.

"She does not have the right to touch me. She is showing contempt for me. I can't accept this,

There are those who simply cannot distinguish between what is important and what is not.

[tob2]

Islam allows female comics? Muslims showing a sense of humor? That's very weird. I though all they wanted to do was kill the infidels.

[snooker]

So let me see if I get this. Lift a cleric up, preferably by a lesbian woman, and they self destruct. All respect is shot with their brain dead minions.

If you ask me, it would be simple enough to photoshop this and put it on website. Sort of like a building roach motel one photoshop at a time. We need to start collecting cleric photos. Might I suggest we start with the Iranian Mullahs.

Sounds good to me, do some good for humanity, don't need to fire a shot.

Brave woman. Now no doubt under threat of an "honor killing" by some "brave" Islamonazi.
