I guess even Muslims have good points.

[Red Badger]

Which nonsense? Theirs or mine?.........

There are three truths in life:
Jewish people do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader
of the Christian faith.
Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor store.

Everything is crazy.

Don't mind me.

A man went to heaven and was being shown around by St. Peter.
As they went from cloud to cloud they came to various doors which
St. Peter would open. One showed a large group rolling on the floor
and talking in tongues. "Our Pentecostals" he said..
Next was a serious ritual. "Our Jewish persuasion" he replied.
Then another ritualistic service. "Our Catholics".
At the next cloud, he didn't open the door but instead put his
forefinger to his lips in the hush motion and they both tip toed
past.. Once past, the man asked what that was all about !?
"Those are the Baptists", he explained. "They think they are the
only one's here".

(But 60th gala birthday celebration for someone who died at 45?)

Guys, maybe you need some help....died at 45, 15 years ago. Make sense now?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Is there an echo in here?

Another one bites the dust...

A Catholic, a Jew and a Southern Baptist all die in a bus accident. As they're being admitted through the pearly gates St. Peter addresses each of them.

To the Catholic he says "You have been a good a faithful Catholic. You may now eat meat on Fridays in Heaven."

To the Jew "You have been a good a faithful Jew, you may now eat pork and shellfish in Heaven."

To the Baptist "You have been a good a faithful Baptist. You may now drink in public in Heaven."

But didn't a Muslim country host Michael Jackson?

In Islam, pedophilia is OK. Sex between two adult men, however, is punishable by death. True fact. Would I make up anything that warped?

[Cheburashka]

I'm a Baptist........Where's my machete?.......

Check with the minister. He found three in the pews after services Sunday. I hope you can identify it.

"I urge Muslim groups in the future to seek correct information from us instead of relying on rumors,"

Good luck with that one.

The shareef dont like it Rockin the casbah

That's The Clash.

[zimdog]

Ha.

[zimdog]

I don't recall Baptists beheading people who disagree with their beliefs...... Or Bombing innocent bystanders, or......

Please tell us which Muslims bombed the birthday bash or beheaded its organizers.

[zimdog]

They're using the metric system.

Ha.

[EBH]

Interesting that they cancel "offensive" shows in muslim countries, but here in the US they would have pushed the envelope and did the show. Called all the whoopla, 'publicity.'

The muslims aren't bright enough to realize Freddy was born Zoroastrian.

I'm not as well-read on my Parsee cosmology as I should be, but isn't it actually a terrible thing for them when fire is put to evil purposes? I believe in India they neither bury nor cremate their dead, but rather lay out the bodies in "Towers of Silence" where buzzards pick the flesh from the bones without despoiling the earth or the flame.

Hmm, that seems a little more serious than this thread has been...
