I'm wondering if the Afghan women would pick up bats, could they put the 'religious students' on the run?

Even the most fundamentalist government, over time, has to deal with freedom doesn't it?

This is the modern era birthplace of all this fundamentalist crap, how ironic that they are now the new pro-westerners. I guess they grew tired of living like a bunch of terds. On a lighter note: I remember when the ayatollah died and the mourners were in such a frenzy that they overturned his coffin and dropped his sorry butt in the street, that was a real knee slapper.

Yea he took the cake, I also remember his death warrant on Rushdy, I went out and bought a hardback edition of The Satanic Verses to help fund his hiding out..

Kind of gives you a warm fuzzy feeling doesn't it? Now if they'll just pay the 1979 hostages their lawsuit claims we might feel even better.

Ayatollah wrote a book advocating sex with animals, then burning them afterwards, and advocating making sex slaves out of girls 5 years old.

Back at the time of the revolution, 1979-80 I recall something to the effect you mention. It was specifically directions for having sex with chickens; a kind of how to do it the holy way.

Can you direct us, to the source for this book?

LMAO! I had forgotten about that! Thanks for the re-mind! I can vividly remember the pictures of that.

Next thing you know they'll be wanting our dam blue jeans which we have to wear out first!

Maybe, or maybe young people just like to rebel against whatever is handy. A generation ago they rebeled by putting on the veils, now they are rebeling by ripping them off. Rebels wore beards and longhair in one generation, skinheads defined the next.

Short attention span bringing the world together?

Me, too! A tough and boring read....
