Bwahahahaha!!! About the best news I've heard all year. The Jihadists being rejected by Iraqis. How 'bout that... they'll never live this down in the Arab world.

"I am not afraid of the Americans. On the contrary I want to fight them. But I was scared of the Iraqis, specifically those who call themselves the Iraqi opposition," he said.

"But I told him that God is on our side."

Hey Genious, If God were on your side, your side wouldn't have lost 800 of 830 tanks and tens of thousands of men.

"I went there to be a martyr, not to be murdered by a brother," he told Reuters. "We went there to help them liberate their country, and all they did was shoot us in the back."

Duh. They didn't want Sadamn or you pigs around. They are actually intelligent people who have been repressed by a brutal dictator. All of the "martyrs" should be given their wish.

"I am not afraid of the Americans. On the contrary I want to fight them. But I was scared of the Iraqis, specifically those who call themselves the Iraqi opposition," he said."

You should be afraid. We'll be in Beirut soon enough.

Then Salaam, 24 years old and unemployed, was sent to war.

Key word.

We stayed at the front five days and we didn't eat anything.

He meets all criteria to become a Zimbabwe war veteran.

"I feel I am stronger than a hero," Salaam said. "I thought when I saw an airplane I would flee, but I stayed and I waited for them and God gave me the strength."

Easy to say from Lebanon.

"I went there to be a martyr, not to be murdered by a brother," he told Reuters. "We went there to help them liberate their country, and all they did was shoot us in the back."

What a naive little doof. Other quotations, direct and indirect, explain much better why he left, since his opportunity to die a martyr never disappeared had he really wanted to take advantage of it:
1. It was uncomfortable. "I was sleeping behind mounds of sand and firing from kalashnikovs on helicopters. It was craziness," he said.

2. It was scary and unpleasant. "We stayed at the front five days and we didn't eat anything. I saw two dead bodies shot in the head."

3. I didn't get what I really wanted. "Salaam, who returned with a friend who did not want his name used, said Iraq had promised them an Iraqi passport, a house and an Iraqi bride after the war ended as a reward for fighting."

4. "Salaam is not normally religious." No, he's usually opportunistic and self-serving.

"I am proud that I went. I also felt that my father was so happy that I left. He didn't say anything but he was proud," said Salaam's friend.

He wasn't proud, just "happy you left"...

Wait.. just one woman?? (wonder how the "lucky" girl would have felt about it, too..)

Salaam, whose name means peace

Sorry, Salaam, but "Islam" already means "peace." Your name will have to mean something else. How about "moron"?

Others like Salaam, whose name means peace, went on their own.

They have a way of misnaming things in that language.
