Now they've got a Captain Hook to go along with the eyepatch guy. Surely there's a Taleban somewhere with a peg leg and a parrot.

[Twodees]

Hmmm, Ol' Sammie's a mushy liberal. Who'da thunk it?

[Economist_MA]

Insanity knows no limits.

[McGavin999]

This is a joke, right? This is somebody pulling our chain.

Very interesting. These people could prove useful down the line. Remember what Bush said, "...we will turn them against each other..."

Any hackers out there? This place needs it.

the harder the come....the harder they fall.

Why do all these guys have bad hats and look like poster boys for the "Islamics with Disabilities Act?"

[Joe 6-pack]

Time to go nuclear...It's obvious there is no reasoning with the leadership of these people. When dealing with the completely unreasonable, any response should be considered reasonable.

Bush knows more than we do regarding these matters. I'm sure (hope) he has that same idea in mind. Remember, he also stated using any means at his disposal. And what a perfert opportunity to have each other do our work. Heck, I thought of it and I'm just a lady in the midwest.

"They cannot be compared to Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, who have many eminent scholars behind them."

Time for the sound engineers to bring up Harvard's alma mater playing movingly in the background.

"Now they've got a Captain Hook to go along with the eyepatch guy. Surely there's a Taleban somewhere with a peg leg and a parrot."

...and this is their religious leaders.

[ThreeOfSeven]

Takfir has attempted to justify its violence by claiming it is necessary to demolish Islam before reconstructing it in a purer form.

Pol Pot did something similar to Cambodia. They saved the bones.

Take a look at this article. Sounds like a fun group.

The Aztecs had similar religious beliefs. Only they ripped hearts out of living 'infidels' and threw them down the base of their religious monuments. Where are the Aztecs today?

I think I was this guy in the scenery of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean. He's the guy who shouts out "Hoist the mainsil and trim that jib, matey...arrrgh.".

Lucky for him it's not his left hand that has a hook. OUCH!

Funny thing is, he's cursed with having to do everything with his left hand.
In the Islamic faith, the Left hand is considered "Unclean", and not to be used in connection with food or drink, as well as touching other people.
He is essentially forced to perform many actions with an Unclean Hand.
