I believe he and his spiritual allies scattered about the world will keep trying until every last one of them is killed.

Babelfish has improved greatly since I played around with it about two years ago! (I love the way it calls Omar "it"!)

[arielb]

in other words: "I'll get you next time, Gadget! NEXT TIME!!!!!"

Wowzers!

it declared in pachtoune

I knew that these things were devoid of humanity. The translator confirms it.

Every time one of these guys makes a comment like this we should send in a team. There's absolutely no reason these guys should continue drawing breath.

Babelfish is great. Not only does it translate, it ridicules too :).

"With the assistance of God, that will arrive shortly. Keep this prediction with the spirit "

Omar: "What will we do tonight, Osama?"
Osama: "The same as we do every night, Omar. Destroy America. Write down this and stick it in the liquor cabinet so you don't have to ask these silly questions."

sounds like a pretty fair admission of guilt to me.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Despite a series of stunning setbacks that cost the Taliban their grip on the capital and deprived them of huge swaths of territory, Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar remained defiant in a BBC interview broadcast Thursday, saying he'd rather die than "join an evil government" with the country's former leader.

Mollah Mohammad Omar, promised the "destruction of America (...) shortly",

Oh shucks. Now I'll never see the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

[mommadooo3]

Must mean that stocks in the Pampers company will soon be soaring.

I have to wonder what the REAL God thinks of all this gobbledee-gook being spoken of HIM. Do ya reckon He condones it? Or do ya think it's ticking Him off to have all this terrorism trash being credited to Him? AND if it's making Him a little peeved with these islame whack-jobs....what ARE they going to do if He decides to NUKE 'EM from Heaven?

[Revelation 911]

"This project continues and if God wants it it is to be implemented"

theres a plan (sarcasm)- they test God with killing and mayhem in His name -

Rest assured, WE, WITH GODS BLESSING WILL SMOTE THEM

[BibChr]

Well, I know how God said to treat false prophets in Israel: "But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die" (Deuteronomy 18:20).

The Bible's pretty emphatic about God hating people putting words in His mouth. He's said enough; we need to listen to what He has actually said (Hebrews 2:1-4).
