What else are these people making us put up with, these days...?

Themselves, which is a horror all by itself.

[Sunshine55]

No, that turned out to be a woman igniting her own farts...honest!

[gaijin]

Dog bombs, yes. That's a good one. I'd forgotten.

[Paleo Conservative]

Here's a close up.

[synbad600]

"She is a good neighbor; we never had any problems." Her parents say that she is being profiled and she was always a good girl who never got into trouble.

[piasa]

Now that does look like a dogbomb

[freedumb2003]

SALEH, hmmmm...what kind of name is that?

Menonnite -- just like the presumed backgrounds of the perps of the Emgland airline terror plot.

[SaveTheChief]

I sadly see this event as but a mere foreshadowing on what we should be prepared to expect in the upcoming years.

[Malacoda]

The Amish must be getting restless.

[weegee]

Wonder if the media would've aired that beheading video?

JFK's exploding head can be seen on tv, we can see bodies in Lebanon, but forget about ever seeing a dead American while there's a threat.

[freedumb2003]

Small explosions, cell-phone chips, machetes, baby-bottles, exploding babies.... What else are these people making us put up with, these days...?

Exploding hams.

According to this, there's an Ashwak Saleh from the Class of 1991 at the American University in Beirut. Not sure if this is the same person.

She could always be the target of the tranquilizer dart, and then hauled off to the pound.

[chichilarue]

I have an idea...let's get the Hutus from Rwanda a million machetes and let them loose in the Muslim world, including Leeds, Dearborn, Manchester, Paris, etc.

[SittinYonder]

For G-d sakes, can't you recognize a good Irish name when you see one ?

Thank you for pointing out the ignorance on this board. Yet again, Freepers are jumping to conclusions and casting stereotypes.

Ashwak, IIRC, is an old Mormon name, so clearly this is another Mormon woman angry that she has to be the only wife of a drunken Irishman.

[Paladin2]

Yes, but is it profiling if the captee is in fact a perp?

[SittinYonder]

According to this, there's an Ashwak Saleh from the Class of 1991 at the American University in Beirut. Not sure if this is the same person.

At 32, she's the right age.

[synbad600]

According to CAIR, yes.

[CindyDawg]

IMO she wanted them to see it.

[Porterville]

those f**en Quakers piss me off.
