Actually TWO shots in the head WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH

Why would the Falklanders be bothered?

They are about 1,000 km west of South Georgia - IIRC there's nobody on S GA but a few scientists.

If their research would be disturbed by some shivering ragheads, just plunk said ragheads down on the South Sandwich Islands to the southeast - they are completely uninhabited and just as cold.

[MadIvan]

Well the Falklanders are brave, sensible folk who don't deserve to have their islands turned into a dumping ground, even in uninhabited areas.

Well, if we put 'em on the British Antartica station, they could wander around too much.

If we put 'em someplace hot, they'll probably LIKE it.

Do you suppose if we asked the Falklanders very, very nicely, they could spare a small, uninhabited, preferably volcanically active island for the cause? Suitably compensated of course. < g >

Muslims gathered uneasily for afternoon prayers Friday, murmuring about fears of a backlash. A bomb threat forced the evacuation of one of London's largest mosques, and someone dumped gasoline near a suicide bomber's home. A tremor of apprehension shook Britain's Muslim community of 1.6 million Friday after undercover officers on the London subway shot and killed a man described by witnesses as a South Asian.

And there's the problem. No where is it mentioned that these Muslims are concerned for their adoptive country, Britian. They are concerned only with themselves.

Oh ma gawd...who are you, in charge of the budget for bullets or Gotti? Is that you?

[MadIvan]

WEll the other possibility is to send them to St. Helena and move the islanders there to some place nice. St. Helena was suitable for imprisoning Napoleon after all.

"What if I was carrying a rucksack?"

"It's permitted, so long as you are swimming toward Pakistan."

Or swimming in a Seattle pool. Sorry, that one will stick with me for a long time. Hilarious and pitiful.

[traumer]

sorry I'd just save the ammunition.... :o)

[Lando Lincoln]

Let me see if I have this right. They are worried about a backlash but they are not worried about being blown to smithereens as they go about their routines - by their own. Amazing.

St. Helena is WAY too nice for the likes of them.

It's a beautiful semi-tropical island, and Jamestown is a gorgeous little colonial town - kinda reminds me of Bermuda, only mountainous.

And 4,000 people are a lot to move.

[MadIvan]

I'm trying to think of other atolls. Tristan de Cunha is no good either - there's a nice little community there too.

THe British Indian Ocean Territory was my first idea. There are a number of uninhabited islands and the waters are infested with sharks.

'Fallujah? what Fallujah? There's nothing here but rubble!

"St. Helena is WAY too nice for the likes of them.

okay, then I propose Mt. St.Helens

[sheik yerbouty]

Antarctica would be my choice.

[MadIvan]

One of the things I'm always grateful for is that I had a Latin class as part of my education. I remember when we heard the story about what happened to Carthage. Fallujah would be a nice start as a modern day Carthage.

what about Mt. St. Helena? It's now percolating!

Islam is a political ideology. They are the ones who have made their religion political nobody else. They are the ones who make their governments revolve around their religion not us. So if you attack a government it looks as if you attack Islam. But, since Islam has been the source of violence and insists on making violence in the world then they are no longer a religion, but just another blood thirsty political regime.

They brought this upon themselves. Just like the crusades. That was a response of many years of Islamic evil, discrimination and oppression. There is only so much people can take before they retaliate. So, tough crap...deal with it.

Islam is a political organization, not unlike Nazism, that needs to be dealt with by force. They must not be able to hide behind their religious status when it's convenient. I must admit, it's an effective concept.
