Tommy Franks has blown this one...why they haven't had a Daisy Cutter in a constant flight pattern around this tank for the past 24 hours is beyond me. We could probably clean up most of the deranged egotistical whackos this way.

From the Ask the Imam site referenced to you -

1. It is only permissible for a person to lie for good causes, for example, to avoid oppression or to reconcile between two people or to lie to an enemy of Islam in order to trick him. It is also permissible to lie in a joking manner wherein the opposite person is not being deceived and misled, or in order to encourage a person, like one’s wife and children. (Raddul Muhtaar pg.303)

In other words, it's permissable to lie just about any time you feel like it. Do a google search for "taqiyya" which is the practice of deceit in Islam.

We are witnessing the MOAD, Mother Of All Denials. I don't know what these people are consuming, but it must be the Mother Of All Halucinogenics. Now we know why the NeoHippies are so hell bent on saving Saddams Hind end.
