"Infinite Justice" offensive to Muslims

I just heard Donald Rumsfeld on the radio answering reporters' questions, and one reporter asked if the operation in the middle east would really be named "Infinite Justice."
When Rumsfeld replied that he had 'heard' the name, but that it might not be the actual name of the action, the reporter replied that he had spoken to Muslim clerics, and that "infinite justice" was offensive because "only Allah can provide infinite justice."
To which Rumsfeld replied that we would not name it anything that might be offensive!

Thoughts?

If "Operation Infinite Justice" was offensive..... then I guess "Operation Smoked Turban" would really be offensive.

************ OPERATION INFINITE FReedom ****************

Also known as the war on the PC police and the left.

Does this mean I have to change the name of our operation????

[Pokey78]

I prefer "Infinite Crusade".

[jbstrick]

How about "Operation Kill the F*CKING terrorists?" Would that make you feel better?

[Travis McGee]

I say name it "Operation Bury the Terrorists in Swineskins Facing Away From Mecca".

[Landru]

Yea, tough toenails.
Let 'em eat corn oil made from the corns of these, "Holymen".
& if you *think* I'm being "insensitive?"

I've the notion you'll be mortified at what Sam has in mind for these barbarians.

[rabidralph]

Offended? Mmmmm, bite me!

[RichInOC]

Fine. Let's go with "Great Justice".

Terrorists, you are on the way to destruction.
You have no chance to survive, make your time.

[Politico2]

How about "Infinate FREEPdom"?

[peteram]

Maybe the Arabs need to get the message that THEIR God is on OUR side.

Yeah, you would think that they would catch on to the fact that their Allah (Our God) is using us as HIS instruments of justice.

Re: Middle-easterners are sensitive, touchy-feely types and need to be treated very delicately.

No... it's left-wingers who are "sensitive, touchy-feely types and need to be treated very delicately."

[Kevin Curry]

Good. That means the words convey power and conviction.

[Agog]

It all depends on what your definition is of "offensive" is. :O)

[kevkrom]

I prefer "Infinite Crusade".

How about "Crusade for Infinite Justice" -- we're going to p*ss them off anyway, might as well be bold about it...

[cajungirl]

LOL,,you guys never let me down. Maybe they are offended for the same reason I was, they just don't have a good sound like Desert Storm Hows about OPERATION UP YOURS

[pgkdan]

I don't think it's necessary to go out of our way to offend them. I think we should just nuke the sh*t out them. NOW!

[marktuoni]

The operation name of our military offensive is offensive?....so it's an offensive offensive....Sounds o.k. to me but I've been known to offend!

Thousands of innocent people were sprayed with flaming jet fuel and instantly incinerated at their desks only to have their burned dead bodies pummeled under millions of tons of concrete, steel and glass, and you're worried we might offend somebody ?
