Make sure to not confuse nutcase stoned Jamaicans with Ethiopians. I recently read an account of some Rastamen visiting Ethiopia, and the Ethiopians were highly amused by the whole thing.

My Ethiopian co-parishioners have volunteered to make popcorn for the show. The Ethiopians will smoke the Mohammedan skinnies! Would you believe it, their government leaders never told then that Islam is TROP so they won't be hampered by certain niceties that others have labored under.

It is the Somali Mohos that need to pray if they mean to seriously take on the Ethiopians and they should find a better object of prayer than this Allah character.

I don't think that, Haile Selassie, was a nut-case stoned Jamaican or a Rastamen who visited Ethiopia.
