Arab Street Erupts in Rage Over Beheading Video

Arab Street Erupts in Rage Over Beheading Video (2004-05-11) -- The so-called 'Arab Street' erupted in rage and grief today, as devoted Muslims crowded into public squares by the hundreds of thousands, in dozens of cities, to denounce the brutal videotaped beheading of American Nicholas Berg by Muslim extremists affiliated with Al Qaeda.

"This is an outrageous, disgusting and obscene act of evil done in the name of our peaceful religion and in our own backyard," said one unnamed Muslim cleric in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. "We mourn with Mr. Berg's family at this horrible loss. We renounce not only this act of violence, but all acts of terror."

The governments of all Arab League nations made a joint statement condemning the slaughter of Mr. Berg, and committing $100 billion toward the elimination of Al Qaeda and other Muslim terror groups.

"We pledge money, troops and intelligence resources in an all-out effort to end this scourge," the Arab league statement declared. "We apologize for our past failures to rein-in or arrest extremists in our ranks. As of today, we are turning the tables on the terrorists. Now, it's their turn to be afraid."

If this ever became true, I might care a little about what Muslims think, until then--kill them all and let God sort it out.

And that's why our culture is better than theirs, and why theirs needs to be destroyed before they destroy ours.

Send that bad boy over to Najaf, or some such, where it can give a proper greeting to the muzzie fanatics.

Al-Qaeda Backs Democratic Candidate John Kerry; Plans Big Voter Turnout Effort
5/10/2004 - William Grim




Undisclosed Location, Afghanistan)-- Leaders of Al-Qaeda announced today that they are officially backing Massachusetts Senator John F. “Frenchy” Kerry in the 2004 United States presidential campaign.

“We examined very carefully the policies of the candidates of the two major political parties,” said Sheik Ali bin Mooqi, chairman of Al-Qaeda’s Committee for Jihad and Political Outreach, “And we determined that Senator Kerry’s policies are good for Al-Qaeda. We are especially impressed with Senator Kerry’s desire to let the United Nations take over the War Against Terror. Diplomatic dialogue is the terrorist’s best friend, and we are encouraged by Senator Kerry’s embrace of appeasement.”

Officials for Al-Qaeda say that they will spend a large amount of money on voter education programs, including the torture, kidnapping and execution of anyone opposed to Senator Kerry’s election. “We’ve also earmarked funds for ballot-stuffing,” said Mr. Mooqi. “As you can well imagine, Florida is a high priority.”

Speaking on condition of anonymity, a source close to the Kerry campaign told this reporter that Senator Kerry welcomes the support of Al-Qaeda and wants to make his campaign a “big-tent campaign even if some of his supporters want to burn down the tent. The Senator believes that cultural diversity is much more important than national security.”

You know the japanese had a little character flaw involving cutting peoples heads off, even prisoners of war.

Do you all remember how we cured them of that?

It wasn't with years of conventional war.

It was with 2 ATOM BOMBS, BOOM, BOOM,

I like good satire, and I think this is very good -- it's just plausible enough to believe for a split second, and then perposterous enough to make its point.

Since there are multiple posts on the beheading, I will refer to my long-winded essay on the evil that has occurred. Please take a minute or two and arm yourself with the truth of HISTORY.

Not a whole lot of difference, is there?

I'd say it's a sad commentary because it's obviously satire.
