They do don’t they.
I really don’t get it. Why they apparently are that way. Don’t they understand that they’ll be the 1st to stand up against the wall?

If I ever start a blog I’ve got the name. “I Don’t Get It”, because I seem to keep saying that more and more.

I wonder how long it will take for the experts in the Democratic Party to dispute the Taliban’s interpretation of the Koran.

You have the Taliban's propaganda minister AT Harvard. There is no dispute, just an ugly elephant in the room that no one wants to acknowledge.

If they came it would be great. My buddies tell tales of the Viet Cong & NVA going many miles out of their way to avoid the ROK troops.

I had a cousin in the Marines who spent a couple of tours in Vietnam, which is how I heard about them. He said anytime they went out on patrol or on sweeps and had ROK Marines or soldiers with them, they were usually quiet, since the NVA/VC fled for the hills (literally) if they knew the ROK troops were out and about. He said it was a running joke that the ROK troops weren't attacked unless the NVA/VC outnumbered them by at least 10-to-1 and even then NVA commanders were wary.

That wikipedia article I linked to, said the ROK Marines had a kill ratio of 25-to-1, but my cousin thinks the unofficial count was probably much higher.

Mohammed was crazy and was kicked out of every city he visited. His “followers” were his family and nine year old wife.

In his trance that he says he went through the seven levels of heaven where he met Noah, etc he finally met Jesus Christ on his way to God and was so embarrassed he asked Jesus to represent him to God.

Jesus did not do so.

according to the Hadith, Mohammed turned people into monkeys, you can determine a child’s sex depending on whether the male or female has an orgasm first

What happens when they both orgasm at the same time - do you get a eunuch?

Taliban 'executes first South Korean hostage'

Taliban fighters holding 23 South Korean Christians claim to have executed one of the captives, amid reports that eight others have been released.

South Korean protesters call for the release of the hostages and for their country to withdraw troops from Afghanistan

A spokesman said the male hostage had been executed because of Kabul's refusal to release Taliban prisoners.

The remaining hostages would be killed if the Afghan government did not succumb to the group's demands by 1am Thursday local time, (9.30pm Wednesday BST), he added. This was the "final deadline", he said.

Other reports from Western officials suggested some of the Koreans had been freed and were now being held at a nearby US base. South Korean media reported that eight people had been released.

Afghan and US troops have sealed off an area of the southern province of Ghazni, where they believe the hostages are being held.

The Koreans were seized from a bus on the main Kabul to Kandahar highway last Thursday in the largest single abduction of foreigners since 2001.

On Saturday, the Taliban demanded that Korea withdrew the 200 troops it has serving with the US-led Coalition forces in Afghanistan in exchange for the hostages' freedom.

When the Korean government responded that its troops were already due to leave at the end of the year, the Taliban issued a new demand for the release of 23 of its prisoners.

A Korean negotiating team, including the country's deputy foreign minister, arrived in Kabul on Sunday and claimed to have opened channels to the Taliban through tribal elders in Ghazni.

The Korean hostages are members of a church involved in "short-term evangelistic and aid work" in southern Afghanistan, according to Joseph Park, the mission director of the Christian Council of Korea.

Korean Embassy officials have "strongly rejected" any suggestion that the hostages were trying to win converts.

Last summer, evangelists tried to hold a "peace festival" in Afghanistan. Some 1,200 Korean Christians arrived, sparking violent local protests and accusations that they were undertaking missionary work. All were deported for their own safety before the event could take place.

I loved your post #4......great read.

Now, even Mohammed could not remember what he was told by God and forgot it (those are his words as written in the Hadith) so I do not know how the powers in charge decided which was the correct version.

Why, they took out the bad parts! Which leaves one wondering how bad they must have had to be, considering what's left.

BTW, I believe it was the third caliph (whose name I used to remember simply because of this action) who had all the copies collected and burned, leaving what we have now.

...these people are nothing more than animals....

Why insult animals? They don't act likewise.

My Father in law was ROK in Vietnam and basically tells me that his unit was known for taking any hill despite the cost. I cant imagine the TaliTubbies would relish going up against that...

Why do I have the feeling that the Moslem answer is:

“Why, that never happens!”

My step father was 173rd Airborne and worked with the ROKs in the Tuy Hoa area and he always said that if we couldnt get info out of the VC/NVA they would bring and ROK interorgator in and the VC/NVA would sing like a bird...

Honored, truly.

"Now, how Mohammed determined which verses were from God and which were from Satan I do not know."

Everything related to Islam is from Satan. (See tagline...)
