Just a thought:
Somebody must already have prayed that Allah remove the spines of Karen Armstrong and John Esposito.
And those prayers were answered.

Ho, ho! Pun intended. Very good R.S. It appears that the "spines have been ripped" from many of our elected officials, journalists, and community leaders as well.
Robert:
Not so sure about their spines having been split, but definitely something has been done to impair their cognitive brain functions.
I would guess that Armstrong's was removed when she took her vows as a Catholic nun, then decided it was all too much for her and started criticizing the Christian God for being too authoritarian.
HMMM...you know, very few politicians have spines. Their spineless conditions are what enables them to vassilate, waver, bend with the wind, twist and turn, rotate their heads 360 degree's on their shoulders, and other spineless phenomena. The ever so popular "political correctness", was invented by the spineless. They have to have a rail to hang on to or they collapse.
Islam has the same deficiency...in reality, it is not solid, it has no real spine. It too needs a rail to hang on to, it's called Jihad. Without jihad, Islam would collapse....
My 'bible' for this topic is the classic biology textbook "ANIMALS WITHOUT BACKBONES".
I think Jimmy Carter is up for the cover shot on the newest edition, although the competition is fierce (while the nominees most decidedly are not).
Maybe just a group shot of Congress?
Muhammad claimed that that semen production takes place in the kidney or back area:
"Now let man but think from what he is created! He is created from a drop emitted - Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:" S. 86:5-7
This gives meaning to ripping out your spine Robert.
BTW, between the spine and the ribs lies the prostate gland, which is the source of male ejaculate and orgasm.
I wonder how Muhammad knew that? Given that it took the modern medicine to discover that (Bob Doles pitch for Viagra after a prostate removal).
The commentaries about our spineless politicians are spot-on. However, I must disagree with Giaour's location of the male prostate. This organ lies up inside the male cervix, near the bladder. The tube carrying urine from the bladder out of the body passes thru this organ, where it picks up secretions that mix with sperm from the male testes prior to and during male arousal and ejaculation. There is a lot of area between the spine and ribs, but the prostate is not aywhere in that vicinity. I suspect the Prophet didn't know that, either. Enlarged prostates can be "massaged" for relief by physicians by inserting a gloved finger into the patient's rectum and massaging the area which is to the front of the patient. (BTW, I'm a clinical biochemist of 30 years experience, mostly in hospital settings, and have taken a dump-truck full of anatomy, physiology and biochemistry courses during that time).
