The gallery that was to host an Islamic prayer service led by a woman next Friday has pulled out in the face of mounting threats, including one promising to "blow you up."

But organizers said the were determined to go ahead with plans to challenge the Islamic prohibition against women leadind mixed-sex prayers. After scrambling to find a new venue, they said late Friday that they had decided to limit participants to an invitation-only list for security reasons, but to broadcast the event on the Internet and through the media.

Organizers seemed taken aback by mounting threats, especially against the backdrop of heavy coverage of their plans in the Arabic media. Earlier in the week, a prominent New York City imam, Talib Abdur-Rahid, called the event "a publicity stunt," and hundreds of online-posts have condemned them as "anti-Islamic."

"The gallery called and told us that an addition to emailed threats, theyve been having people walking in off the streets and being aggressive..."

"OK, I WILL, BUT I AM STILL HALF WAY THROUGH MY DOWNLOADED COPY OF "ELDERS OF THE PROTOCOLS OF ZION." AFTER THAT I HAVE SOME MATERIAL ON ALIEN ABDUCTION, AND THE SEARCH THE IMAGE OF MOHAMMED AT THE BOTTOM OF A FRYING PAN IN CUBA. GOOD STUFF. IT'S ON THE INTERNET SO IT MUST BE TRUE. AFTER THAT, I'LL LOOK INTO WHAT YOU SUGGESTED AND GET BACK TO YOU, OK?"

Er, O.K. but perhaps you should spend more time in college libraries, and less time on the inter-net. Just a suggestion...

I'm still trying to figuring out what part of the genetic code is Muslim and how you stop it "rebooting!"

A surefire cure: Divert money from AIDS research to coming up with a pill to virtually guarantee only male children get conceived. Make it illegal, then make sure it hits the black market in the sexist lands controlled by Islamunists.

Problem solved in two generations, max.

Sorry Imam...I meant "old" affectionately and I am partial to violin music...I thought you and Ari were getting rather friendly...hence the violin.
