I wouldn't want him to kiss me either!

See the video at my 39.

I heard they're going to bury him on his side, facing Mecca. A rotting corpse facing Mecca! Fitting.

Great clip!

Was that one of our MA Catholic priests in diguise kissing Assarat?

I find it difficult to believe that some enterprising young Jewish hacker couldn't find his way into the Clamart database and get his hands on the proof.

That made me cringe.

AIDS Likely Cause of Arafat's Death; Successor Plots With HizbAllah

[punster]

There were some comments that Arafat had liver failure.

A couple of possible reasons:

1. Hepatitis

2. Cirrhosis of the liver

Hepatitis is a blood borne pathogen. Transmission by transfusion, or exchange of body fluids.

Cirrhosis of the liver is linked to heavy drinking over an extended period of time.


If the reason for the liver failure is hepatitis, the implication is Arafat may have been sexually promiscuous. There are rumors alleging that he was promiscuous.

If the reason for the liver failure is cirrhosis of the liver, the implication is Arafat was doing a lot of hard drinking (a violation of Islam).

Interesting.

I don't care really as long as he is gone.

YOU SAID IT BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

AIDS.

You know that is a good question.

I don't know why any news organization glamorizes this fellow as some noble leader of a lost people either.

To hear the Catie Koran crowd talk the world is a diminished place with the passing of this disciple of satan!

I think that the notion of "tolerance" has gone overboard. There are many things that are intolerable and I have no obligation to put up with them in the name of anything. Gays, abortion, arafat, the list goes on and on.

The newsmedia is, in my opinion, made up of moral relativists. It shows in everything they do.

i hope israel killed him and id like them to know. this isnt going to end without a full scale war so why drag it on?

I seriously doubt Israel killed him....although I think they should have. War will come, but I'm not wishing for it any sooner than it has to be. :-)

[CaptainAwesome2]

it might as well be on our schedule and not on theirs. its going to happen so why wait until they are prepared for it? even if israel didnt do it then i hope the muslims think israel did it.

Yeah :-). I HATE waiting for a beating....or (conversely) to dish one out! Timing is pretty important though.

NO matter WHAT, the muslims are going to find fault in Israel for Arafat's death. They don't need any reason to hate Israel, or her allies, so why should Arafat's demise change anything? I don't think it changes much.

The Islamics need to tread carefully on account of Arafat's death. The Israeli's haven't tolerated much in the past several years and they aren't going to put up with much now even though Arafat has died.

Nothing much has changed. Another terrorist has died. That's all. What people on both sides want to make of it will make or break an already bad situation. The Israelis have a pattern of first strike when they see no other alternative, and I don't expect them to break this pattern any time soon. It's very. VERY effective!

[CaptainAwesome2]

i agree. you hear a lot of people on the news saying this is an opportunity for peace but i dont see it that way. arafat was the leader of the palestinians BECAUSE he was a terrorist not in spite of being one. they dont want peace, the want jews dead and israel destroyed. this can only end in war and it might as well be sooner rather than later.

Your post just made laugh so much, I had to bump it.
