The Algerian Salafist Group for Prayer and Combat (GSPC) has issued a new statement today officially announcing a change in name for the group to "Al-Qaida in the Land of the Islamic Maghrib." According to the statement, the decision to adopt the Al-Qaida moniker was made "as an indication of the group's vibrancy, the strength of its coalition [with Usama Bin Laden], and the sincerity of the link between the mujahideen in Algeria, and other brothers from the Al-Qaida organization." On September 14, 2006, the GSPC declared its initial intention to merge with Al-Qaida, but continued unabated in using its traditional name. In its latest statement, the group explained, "we were cautious about this matter from the first day of the merger" and added that the final decision to name themselves Al-Qaida came only after "consultations with Shaykh Usama [Bin Laden], may God preserve him... and his consent."
That has a ring to it, actually. Might work for our church ladies ... "Southern Women's Group for Prayer and Combat"!
Try saying "Islamic Maghrib" and "Islamic McRib" out loud and have someone tell you which is which. This could be a PR nightmare for the "Salad Fest" guys, and a goldmine for Jay Leno and Rush Limbaugh.
Too wordy. I think "Nutbars-R-Us" is catchier and gets the proper image across.
Bun, BBQ sauce and Semtex instead of roast pork.
I see your women's group is much like the one Foxfire4's mom belonged to at church.

Southern Church Ladies have a lot of pent-up aggression, as I'm sure you've noticed ...
Mmm-hmm. They managed to redirect it by putting pink flamingos in each others' yards on a regular basis, fortunately.
How about:
Al-Qaida in the Hall of the Crimson King
Al-Qaida and His Flying Lab
Al-Qaida, the Other White Meat
Al-Qaida and the Sunshine Band
The Algerian Salafist Synchronized Splodey Team
Bloodthirsty Barbaric Bastards, Local 219 (Algeria)
Just Because We Like Fezzes Doesn't Mean We're Shriners, Dammit

That's a good one!
