Can you shed any light on this Adel Smith character ?

[Dr.Deth]

Islamic terrorists linked to al-Qaeda plotted to destroy Bologna's 14th-century cathedral because it contained a medieval fresco depicting the Prophet Mohammed in hell.

That was apparently the era when the prevailing art style was "realism", as opposed to the utter crapola that gets NEA funding these days.

Who's your Dada?

[Dr.Deth]

Here's the depiction of old moham in hell: And as we all suspected, he's d*ckless and has no b*lls - just like his terrorist followers.

[laconic]

She was on stage because she was an attractive young she, wearing knee boots and a miniskirt. She didn't have to say or do anything to "contribute" to the ratings.

Heh, I think it's a little overpriced. A lot of people here only buy it when it's on sale. And now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

Nah, just the funny hat I'll get to wear in Dogbert's New World Order.

ummm...la donna e bellissima. Italian Muslims what a disgusting idea. A more fitting name: Organization of non indigenous death cult followers who are not welcome.

[ffusco]

I have a better idea, how about the destruction of muslins in italy because christians find islam repugnant.

[ffusco]
