Muslim Leaders Call for 'Day of Rage' Over Pope's Comments (Friday)

ABC News ^ | sept 18, ,2006 | Mike Lee

[Mr. Silverback]

I appreciate that very much. Didn't mean to give you homework, but this is one of those subjects where I wouldn't even know where to look. Like most Americans, I am shamefully language-challenged.

Why are they allowed to do this anyway? Throw everyone of them in jail and make them stay there until they "apologize."

"We must not try to interpret Islamic terms and cultural signals by using our Western ideas," said Fawaz Gerges, a professor in the department of international affairs and Middle Eastern studies at Sarah Lawrence College, and an ABC News consultant."

Uh, ok, prof. Just like we are so wrong when we call infidel murder "terrorism" when it's just a little good ol' Islamic jihad. I'm sure both Sarah Lawrence College and ABC love you.

Calling the headache guy! (aw jeeze, not another mohammedan "day of rage" already!)

[Mr. Silverback]

Ivan, remember that Arabic term for Irony you came up with? I just figured out how to get a transliteration.

Jveritas, I would love to share this word (Arabic for "irony") with my newspaper readers. How is it transliterated?

See post 82 if you would, it turns into western text if I try to copy and paste it.

[jveritas]

Mad Ivan got it right. If you want to spell it in Latin alphabet it is spelled as: " AL SUKHRIA"

[Mr. Silverback]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Will ping you both to resulting column. Will either do it this next week (to run 5 October) or one of the next couple.
