More 'informational incest' for the bigots to consume?
They have to pray that they don't pass gas on the way to pray:

This interesting website: http://www.secularislam.org/testimonies/index.htm contains testimonies of ex-muslims. One of the writers relates how the flatulence rule affected his attitude toward Islam:
Why I left Islam.
One day I was at work and had to wash myself so that I could say my prayers. I made wudu in the restroom and then proceeded to walk a rather long distance to my car where I could say my prayers (the best that I could) sitting in my car at lunch. I almost got to my vehicle when I farted by accident. I thought to myself, "Dammit". So I walked all the way back to the restroom and washed my hands, mouth, nose, face, ears, forearms and wiped some water over my socks. I then walked back to my vehicle and just before I got to my vehicle, I farted again. "Dammit".... I was really discouraged at this point and just stood there for a minute thinking of how could this be. Anyway, as discouraged as I was I retraced my steps all the way back to the restroom and repeated my wudu again. I remember thinking that it was not my hands and face etc. that needed washing but my...well, you know.... So here I go again on the third trip to my car to perform my prayers as best I could given the situation. I thought to myself how stupid this was and that it had nothing to do with God. It had to do with Islam having more control over me than I did. As I got closer to my vehicle, I couldn't stop laughing about what had just happened. I was wondering if God was really watching me. Was he laughing right now. I know I was. I got in my car and said my prayers because I do believe in God. I did not apologize but rather appreciated some of the most sincere humor that I had experienced in a long time. I have Islam to thank for that. Or maybe it was just God or an Angel having a little fun with me. Most likely, it was my breakfast. I have concluded that I don't really know anything at all about God and neither does anyone else. I choose to believe in God because I guess that I need to. I believe that there is more to this life than just me. There is You. I will treat you as best I can and that my friend will be a deed that I will take with me wherever I go even be it beyond the grave if possible. It will be my testimony to my faith. I believe in me and I believe in you. I also believe there is more to us than we can really understand but between us, we can try. I no longer regiment myself to disciplined prayer nor do I go to the mosque anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love the good side of prayer and Islam but the bad side which we all know is making a hyprocicy of the good. I cannot do that. My God won't let me. I still pray but by myself and I have revised some of the things that I pray for. Mainly I only say Al Fatiha and ask for forgiveness for my sins and mercy on my judgement which I believe in. I pray for no prophets lineage above anyone else and I pray for no punishment on anyone. I do pray for the good things that I have received in my life including that which came from the Quran. I hope that you will find some humor in my message and also if you can, try to see some goodness in it too. I am only here until I am not, just like you. In the meantime, this laugh is on me.

And they have the gall to even think the word "intolerant" towards us? ...perhaps they just are referring to the effects of our cuisine on our gastrointestinal tract and we can just discuss this and solve all our interculteral problems?!?!?! :)
Conversely we could just train our troops to eat the right stuff and pass more gas and this war on terror might be accelerated? Especially if we can get the enemy on the right diet?
