Michigan Muslim arrested at airport with knife hidden in book

I want to emphasize at the outset, of course, that I am absolutely certain that this incident had nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism. I mean, that's obvious: Mohammed Ghanem wasn't wearing an Osama bin Laden t-shirt. Nor was he carrying an Al-Qaeda membership card. Therefore this incident is simply an isolated case involving an innocent accident -- why, just yesterday I was buttering my toast and when I was finished with the knife I accidently artfully concealed it inside my carved-out copy of Richard Grenier's The Marrakesh One-Two. You know how these things can happen -- and they're purely innocent in every case, of course, particularly in cases involving Muslims with one-way tickets to Yemen. Why, to suggest otherwise would be profiling.

Oh, and of course Ghanem has clearly been suffering from mental problems, arising from the stress of his arranged marriage and his failed conversion to Christianity. His friends all say he's a magnificently gentle soul who would never hurt a fly, although they add as well that he is utterly bonkers. So again, this has nothing, nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism. Nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing. Did Mohammed Ghanem have any attachment to the jihad ideology? What are you, some kind of Islamophobe?

"Man Arrested in Airport Knife Scare," from AP, with thanks to all who sent this in:

ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) - A man with a one-way ticket to Yemen attempted to board a plane with a knife hidden in a book, authorities said.

Mohammed Ghanem, 21, of Hamtramck, was jailed Saturday on $500,000 after being arraigned on a charge of possessing a weapon in the sterile area of an airport.

Ghanem was arrested Thursday at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after Transportation Security Administration officers detected the knife "artfully concealed" in the book, airport spokesman Michael Conway said.

Careful. If the book was the Book of Joshua, it could mean that Ghanem was up to serious no-good.

Someone had carved out the inside of the book and placed the knife inside it, said Ghanem's attorney, Nabih Ayad.

"He said he didn't know where the knife came from," Ayad told the Detroit Free Press.

Well, that's reasonable. Has anyone checked to see if David Copperfield or Uri Geller was in the airport at the time?

If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.

Ghanem was born in Yemen, a republic bordering Saudi Arabia whose 18 million residents are primarily Muslim. He is now a legal permanent resident of the United States and was returning to Yemen to get married, Ayad said.

Ghanem works as a busboy and lives in Hamtramck with family members, but he had a one-way ticket to Yemen, authorities said.

Absolutely classic.

You couldnt make this one up could you.

And every morning I wake up with my hatchet next to me.

I've no idea who keeps putting it there.

As I live alone, and close and lock all my windows and doors every night, it's a complete mystery.

"He said he didn't know where the knife came from,"

it obviously placed itself there, so, the man is innocent.

Hamtramck was the hub for Polish immigrants, and now it is being filled with these low life scum from the the middle east. a few years ago, these low life muslims pushed for their cat calls from their mosques, it went to a vote, and you had stupid dhummis vote with the scum. now more flight of non muslims from this once vibrant little Poland. hope the monster gets 10 years in jail next to Bubba, and get married leb style while in jail.

Robert Spencer,

The icy style does serve to keep the Fire in me under leash.Thanks.

I thought denial was in egypt!

Doesn't everybody eat their complimentary packet of airline pretzels with a fork and knife?

Sir Henry Morgan, All you have is a hatchet? You must live the UK.

What is the matter with you bigots anyway?

Every time an innocent muslim shows up at an airport with a bookmark that resembles a knife, you people lose it!

Why, this could happen to anyone, and probably does, but it is never a big deal unless the person happens to be islamic!

After all, everyone has those book markers that look like knifes, box cutters,IED's, hand granades; you can buy them anywhere -- maybe in the airport gift shops too.

So why are all the awful, hateful, right wing extreme nut jobs getting all crazy over a little incident like this???

(Look, I'm trying to reprogram my thinking -- it ain't working and this story about the 'innocent muslim' ain't gonna fly either!)

I think this one way flight to yemen was going to make an unscheduled stop in 'paradise' if this 'innocent muslim' had any input into the flight plan!

O.T. comment:
Pope visits Munich, Germany. In doubletongued twisted german speech he:
"blames ´too much reason` for the decline in kath. belief" (web.de)

looks like the holy father wants to endorse a somewhat dhimmiesque stance: learn less, know less, - in turn believe more ! (plain idiotic)

This Mohamed Ghanem is just a total moron, not a terrorist. Still prosecute this idiot. This is typical of how much of our resources are wasted baby sitting these screw loose Muslims. And the world is brimming over with them

"He said he didn't know where the knife came from," Ayad told the Detroit Free Press.

Well, where did the hollowed out book come from? Ah, termites. Yeah, that's the ticket, termites.

I would be checking the flight list too. Solo jihad on a plane? Doutbful. The "I don't know where it came from." excuse seems to be the choice of the now jihad generation.

"People don't kill, knives kill." Like guns, knives also have the magical ability to control people and make otherwise innocent people do bad things. Of course Ghanem is innocent. It's all the knife's fault!

This incident is not what worries me. What is deeply troubling is that the US government is still granting green cards to people like that. How on earth can a Muslim who grew up in Yemen (worse than Saudi Arabia, on a par with Afghanistan and Somalia) integrate in modern-day America?! These 'immgirants' ingrained hatred of the West makes them ticking bombs.

Also note that he was also going back to Yemen to get himself a wife. Before you know it, his entire clan is settled in the US.

The officials who granted him a green card need to investigated and fired. It is them who are the real culprits.

"His friends all say he's a magnificently gentle soul who would never hurt a fly, although they add as well that he is utterly bonkers."

1)Yeah, I'm sure he's a regular Norman Bates with his knife. BTW, I'll bet a lot of these Muslim guys that do these things (Tar heel-head Jihad, Seattle exposed Jihad, etc.) have the Bates problem with women. BTW, isn't putting a woman in a Burka saying that she is a sex object that has to be hidden? Why the extremeness? A professionally dressed woman is very often a real turn-on to normal men-but probably a threat to Norman Bates Muslims.

2) Why is CAIR so silent on these things? Why are they so silent re Seattle, San Fransisco, the hatred of Jews as expressed by the gang from Iran? Etc., etc. etc. Soon people are going to start shouting questions at these civil rights pretenders on these matters. So get ready CAIR civil rights pretenders. What I write here is going to become reality sooner than you think.

It was probably a test of security. This clown wasn't going to do anything and he wanted to get caught. If not he would have used a wood knife or some other non metal weapon. He probably got the idea from an islamic web site, some encourage this crap just to intimidate us. Watch him get off after we spend thousands attempting to prosecute him just to see him released due to “cultural differences”. He will be a hero in his local muslim community. All we will get from this is charges of islamaphopia and demands that airport security stop checking muslims after all, the security people did catch him.

It sounds like a subconscious reaction to a fear of snakes on a plane. I've seen it a million times. Let the poor man go.


Those howling calls to prayer in Hamtramck have reached out and touched yet another misunderstander of the 'religion of peace'

"was returning to Yemen to get married, Ayad said."

Uh huh..... now I see, every time these muslim men are forced to go back home for an "arranged" marriage they tend to go crazy.

The thing I wonder about is, was that book he was carrying the koran. Political correctness may not allow security personel to reveal that information.


ONE WAY TICKET..... JUST BEFORE 9/11 ANNIVERSARY.

Uri Geller? Oh yes I remember him, he used to bend spoons years ago...
There can be no excuse for this criminal, he premeditated the concealment of the weapon and was to board a plane with it...

Ode to Mohammed Ghanem

I'm going back to Yemen,
to get myself a wife
And in my hand a little book,
with a little knife

Jihad, Jihad,
it is a righteous call
But not to do violence,
never, not at all

Just a simple cause
to make a better man
Why can't you simple infidels
ever understand?

Sure, I bought a one-way ticket,
what is wrong with that?
And a seat behind the cockpit
where the Prophet would have sat.

That makes me a terrorist,
in your racist eyes?
Can't you see that you've been fooled
By all those Jewish lies?

So let me board I mean no harm
I promise to be good
This whole thing was a false alarm
I've been misunderstood

So if you please, I'll take my book
With its hidden knife
The Prophet has instructed me
To live a clever life.

So off I go to board,
no threat to anyone
With crazy security these crazy days,
I couldn't bring my gun

Of course some of them are plain stupid and we well get lucky. But it's just a matter of time before they try again. Most reasonable people know our approach is ass backwards. We practically give them a list of what they can take on board, and of course have a large chunch of society willing to scream and make mayhem over profiling. I think we need to follow El Al example.

Muslims permitted to settle in the West, like non-Muslims, suffer from all kinds of problems: loss of job, loss of status, unsympathetic parents, ungrateful or rebellions children, Fate, the stars, The System, any damn thing in the whole wide world. And they have at the mental ready, as anyone raised up in Islam -- and even some who simply "return to Islam" -- will, which is to blame the naturally blameworthy -- the Infidel. And then they are ready to act upon that understanding of the universe.

The sinister solander may be taken as metaphoric: inside every Qur'an there is a figurative knife.

This most recent incident is just another remember that we are still in a war against world-wide Islam and on the eve of the 5th anniversary of 9/11.

I am sure that this must have happened:

Talking head from TV news goes to interview his neighbors. They all express surprise, saying he was a quiet man, who kept his lawn mowed and never caused any trouble.

His attorneys will argue that he was "temporarily" mentally ill and that wanted to get caught as a call for help.

His victims, was he successful, would not agree. He most cetainly would have needed to hack at least a couple of passengers and flight attendents whilst screaming Allah Akbar.
Or worse yet, killed the whole plane load.

But now he will go to jail where he can find fertile ground to convert disaffected youth in the prison population while qualifying for early release under good behavior. In that way he will have cast his seed into an evil spawn, American Taliban.

For as Lincoln observed, . If ← destruction → be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

George Rem sez:

"...The officials who granted him a green card need to investigated and fired. It is them who are the real culprits..."

Right on the money! which leads one to suspect that he had connections in the immigration department, which is very likely infiltrated by Mohammedan moles....

I heard similar stories about Australia!

Robert: Uri Geller? David Copperfield? Yes! Of course! It was those Jewish pig illusionists and magicians that did it!

Here's a theory. Mohammed was taking the knife back to Yemen to cut the cake at his wedding reception....

A knife???

The mos are testing the waters again..........

Will 9/11 be peaceful??????????????

On 9/11 be more watch about where you go and with those around you.

Prepare, be armed, be ready.

The Texican.
God, Family, America and Freedom, the only choice at any cost.

I watched UNITED 93 yesterday evening.

It looks like the four [DELETED] had only ONE knife (and a fake bomb: batteries, wires,etc.)

But this is a muslim, and so we are sure his intentions were just peaceful.

Had it been a Mormon or a Zen Monk, I would be scared.

At best this was a RECON OPERATION being conducted on our own soil.

At worst it was a thwarted attack attempt. As someone above said, check the passenger list carefully.

Either way, the AQ playbook will be followed and the most will be made in the press (and maybe lawsuits) about profiling, anti-muslim discrimination, etc. The mo's will milk it for all it's worth, making it a no-lose proposition for them, futher weakening the resolve of clueless American leaders and public.

Robert Spencer's cool and sparkling sarcasm as evinced by his intro to this piece makes him a cut above all the other bloggers and analysts on this issue.

Look folks, I live in Dearborn, Michigan - the capital of Muslim USA. Also not too far from Hamtramck. This is all the result of mass immigration; it's that simple.

These Muslims are 7th century cultists who are turning small towns throughout the USA into part of the caliphate and most media, academia and government "experts" just can't stop praising how wonderful multiculturalism is. Pathetic.

The front page of today's Detroit News has a feature article on how area Muslims fear a backlash with the 5th anniversary of 9/11. Almost daily they feature articles on how Muslims feel and cry crocidile tears for them. Boo-hoo.

Americans (and all Westerners) need to wake up. We are being quietly invaded by out of control immigration - both legal and illegal but especially Muslims who are not well suited for modern Western society. Will our elites in governnment hear us? I doubt it.

What part of X-Ray machine does this guy not understand? He must be crazy to think that paper would conceal a knife from x-rays. Maybe the knife was for protection from the piercing gazes and possible assaults by islamophobes.

Mr. Spencer, you are quite a talented satirist!

Interesting that the attorney here, Nabih Ayad of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, is the go to counsel for these types of incidents. He is the lawyer, who recently, successfully got the charges dropped against the three questionable guys who were trying to corner the cell phone market and is now heading a civil rights suit against the government on their behalf. I can't wait to see him defend Ghanem's right to board a plane with a knife in a carved out book. Poor victim of ethnic profiling, indeed.

It's not his fault - Yemeni men are culturally ingrained to feel naked unless they're wearing at least one knife or dagger at all times.

Plus a rifle, or two.

The authorities should be very careful when his family visit in case they come bearing a cake with a file in it.

OT but finally the threat has been openly stated by the no other then the Secretary genetral of the MCB.

Britain could face the threat of two million home-grown Islamic terrorists, says a senior Muslim leader.

Muhammad Abdul Bari: 'We want to isolate the bad people and put them in the dock. But we all have to work together to do that'

Muhammad Abdul Bari, the secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, fears that continued negative attitudes towards people of his faith could provoke a vast and angry backlash.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=FJRJ24K40AXWRQFIQMGCFFOAVCBQUIV0?xml=/news/2006/09/10/nterr10.xml

Muhammad Abdul Bari, the secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, fears that continued negative attitudes towards people of his faith could provoke a vast and angry backlash.

In other words if you Kaffirs dont think nice of us, we'll bomb you.

He did not understand why "the whole of our diverse community" was being targeted. "When the IRA was blowing people up, the entire Catholic population of Britain was not demonised, so why is it happening to the Muslim community?"

1. Because the worldwide Catholic community was not waging a worldwide Jihad.

2. The Pope condemned the IRA.

3. The IRA had no goal of subjugating or destroying Britain.

4. The IRA did not have any goal to install sharria in Britain.

5.The IRA was not bombing airplanes worldwide. It had a specific enemy, and that was that.

6. The IRA's goals were political and negotiable, unlike the Muslim jehadis.

7. The Irish were profiled at airports, both here and in the USA. Yet the Irish community did not moan and whinge but accepted the neccesity of such procedures, despite the fact that the IRA did not fly airplanes into buildings.

He called for more Muslim representation in the police force, Parliament and other areas of public life. "Young Muslims need role models to show them they can play a part in British society."

He wants Muslims to be given special consideration to become MPs in safe seats, senior positions in the police force and judiciary. Which is another way of instituting sharia.

I dont think that the Hindu, Sikh and the Aftro-Carribean community are going to trust a Muslim in position of authority.

"Young Muslims need role models to show them they can play a part in British society."

You will get your role models when your community itself creates them. No one can give Muslim role models except Muslims. The role model that you have created is the suicide bomber.

In this whinging, whinning, and at the same time threatening epistle from Bari, he merely confirms the 'suicide bomber' ethic of not just the community but himself as well.

" ...inside every Qur'an there is a figurative knife." From Hugh

That's one thing I'm not afraid of, a figurative knife. I'll bring my sharp wit to a figurative knife fight any time.

Hopefully law enforcement acted swiftly to obtain warrants to search the area where Mohammed Ghanem lived along with any other gathered evidence that could be obtained in the search that may lead to any other potential terrorist activities developing in and around Hamtramck, Michigan.

I'm sure that the NSA will now put its collective ears to that area along with the blessings of the FISA Court, ACLU and its local liberal judge not withstanding.

As we all should know by now "where there's smoke there is fire".

If ONLY there were a place one could live in peace - FREE of these stinking muftis and their sickening support system such as that dirtbag lawyer who is now threatening a civil lawsuit against our taxpayer-funded government!! I wish I could go to SOWdi arabia and sue to open a Synagogue, a Church, and oh.. a Buddhist Temple. Right next to a hog farm. I should hve a right to operate a hog farm in Mecca is these vermin are allowed to operate a mosk with tunnels underground right in Culver City, CA. muftis are incompatible with our lifestyle. WHEN will the aclu and the MSM and our **elected** officials FINALLY get it! Let the aclu see wha it would be like to try their little shenanigans in a place like SOWdi arabia. or yemen or Bahrain. Or Syria. Or.. Iran.. or.. or.. so many more! aclu hear this: Love it or leave it! I'll be glad to help out with a one-way-ticket to yemen right next to a nice young local man who uses a knife for a bookmark in his killran. Deal?!

August22, all I can say is "Brilliant, brilliant!"

NOthing unusual here. Knives mysteriously appear inside books all the time for busboys named MOHAMMED.

More Muslims Arrive in U.S., After 9/11 Dip
By ANDREA ELLIOTT
America’s newest Muslims arrive in the afternoon crunch at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Their planes land from Dubai, Casablanca and Karachi. They stand in line, clasping documents. They emerge, sometimes hours later, steering their carts toward a flock of relatives, a stream of cabs, a new life.

This was the path for Nur Fatima, a Pakistani woman who moved to Brooklyn six months ago and promptly shed her hijab. Through the same doors walked Nora Elhainy, a Moroccan who sells electronics in Queens, and Ahmed Youssef, an Egyptian who settled in Jersey City, where he gives the call to prayer at a palatial mosque.

“I got freedom in this country,” said Ms. Fatima, 25. “Freedom of everything. Freedom of thought.”

The events of Sept. 11 transformed life for Muslims in the United States, and the flow of immigrants from countries like Egypt, Pakistan and Morocco thinned sharply.

But five years later, as the United States wrestles with questions of terrorism, civil liberties and immigration control, Muslims appear to be moving here again in surprising numbers, according to statistics collected by the Department of Homeland Security and the Census Bureau.

Immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia are planting new roots in states from Virginia to Texas to California.

In 2005, more people from Muslim countries became legal permanent United States residents — nearly 96,000 — than in any year in the previous two decades.

Read that again!

Thanks alot, Mr. Bush!

August22, Ode to Mohammed Ghanem

Bravo! Loved it.

Dhimmitude on the new Fall Schedule on FOX TV

The new Fall season on American television premiered a new show, "Standoff", on 9 p.m. Tuesday nights, a plum prime-time spot following the popular show "House" (which received Emmies last year).

"Standoff" is a show about a team of hostage negotiators in an American city. On the premier episode last week, the team had to deal with two incidents: one was an American father who went postal and kidnapped his two sons from his ex-wife, then held them hostage in a car in the middle of an intersection. The team successfully defused that incident.

The second incident involved a "blonde and blue-eyed" young American terrorist who is seen in his apartment with photos of bin Laden, before he puts on his kaffiyeh (identified as "one of those Islamic beanies" by one of the policemen), straps on bombs over his chest, and walks into a coffeehouse.

What betrayed the dhimmitude of the creators and writers of the episode was one particular scene after he has taken the patrons in the coffeehouse hostage and he is waiting for a phone call from the hostage negotiators outside. The patrons are all lying on the floor on their face as he ordered them at gunpoint to do. The camera then showed two of the patrons, whose physiognomy was obviously Middle Eastern. One of them said something in Arabic to the blonde blue-eyed American terrorist then added, "What you are doing is wrong, it is against Islam!"

The blonde blue-eyed American terrorist looks at the two Middle Eastern Muslims on the floor with scorn and throws hot coffee at their faces.

Of course, it is not inconceivable that there could be a blonde blue-eyed American terrorist inspired by bin Laden (in fact, we have seen a few, though not necessarily blonde per se); nor is it inconceivable that among the patrons could be a couple of Middle Eastern Muslims who are brave and conscientious enough to try to condemn the terrorist. But it is obviously stretching plausibility as documented by the news for the last few years. I can just see the meeting of creators, writers, producers and the director of the show at the FOX corporation, sitting around a table:

"How can we add something to the story line to take some of the heat off the fact that we're presenting a terrorist who is actually a Muslim?"

"Well, he's blonde, blue-eyed, and American. That helps."

"No, Flannigan, I don't think that's enough -- we'll need something else to show that most Muslims are decent people who are against terrorism."

"I've got an idea! Let's have a couple of Middle Eastern guys in the coffeehouse who are victims of the terrorist, and then they tell the terrorist that what he's doing is wrong and against Islam!?"

"Perfect idea! You're getting a raise, Poindexter!"

P.S.: During the season when the most successful FOX show in the last few years, 24, was revolving around a group of Muslim terrorists, one scene had Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) holed up in store in an L.A. slum being besieged by Muslim terrorists -- and guess who were holed up as victims along with him? Two young Middle Eastern Muslims, whose marionette strings pulled by the FOX writers and producers moved them to say how much they loved America, peace and freedom and how this would motivate them to help Jack fight those evil bastards.

There is only one way to deal with Islamic threat is to ship all Muslims back to their countries of origins. The Muslims who wish to stay, should be given a chance to stay in the West, only if they denounce Islamic terrorism in a loudest possible manner. The Western converts to Islam should be locked up in Jails till their mental state normalizes. Better still, pack their bags and send them to Saudi-Arabia.

Amazing, and Dick Cheney points out that the terrorism is not ended, while the democrats think it is. Just let's you know, how strange the world really is!

" ...inside every Qur'an there is a figurative knife." From Hugh

That's one thing I'm not afraid of, a figurative knife. I'll bring my sharp wit to a figurative knife fight any time."
-- from a poster above

Inside a figurative knife. But if the knife itself is figurative, what the Qur'an preaches turns, quite easily and naturally, into a real knife, with real Infidel throats to slit.

We can keep them all of the planes by making everyone eat a ham sandwitch and pet a sweaty pig(a ticket straight to hell for a moslim) before they can board the plain.

Look, the man swore four times (Sura 4) that he didn't bring the knife. This proves that the Mahdi put it there. Who are you all, really, to question the Mahdi?

Prophet Geoff

August 22: Nice poem. I'd change third verse to "filthy infidels"; more ironic.

I too, must confess that I am something of a poet in this long civilizational debate. I modeled my poem after the touching work "I Don't Want to Love You, But I Do" by Celia Lucas (U Berkeley, CA; http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0724-22.htm). I suggest you all take a poke at her work. It makes for...interesting reading.

To paraphrase: my imitation is the sincerest form of flatulence.

Prophet Geoff


[b]I Don’t Want To Love This Dusty Patch of Wall I’m Hiding Under, But I Do[/b]

Moustafa P. Relsoun
Member, Hezbollah Poetry Club

“My way” was a song from an infidel that I once heard in my land
Where bombs are not the only way people die, but probably the best religious expression we can think of
Fed by the violence of islam and the hunger for women’s ankles
Raised by Hizbollah…
Holy crap, is that another shell coming in?

They scare me
Not just because Ahmad, the guy huddled in the crater next to me, tells me to be scared
Not just because the explosions repeat, repeat, repeat
While he tells me stories about the ummah
Begging me to understand that he, like I,
Really needs to take a piss

Why do they never tell me about the UN money, or the untold billions of Arafat’s fat wife
Who wants me lend her a few bucks so that she can stop feeling so “humiliated”
That we have absorbed so much cash
Saved up so many rockets
And yet we still think chicks should wear burkhas

It scares me
When I admit to myself
That if I can’t crawl out of here in the next five minutes
That I’m going to have to pee in my Coca-Cola can

To see the violence that does not just fall from the skies
But drives up in big armoured vehicles and blows the hell out of things
Don’t we have any civilians left, or did they all get away?

It scares me
That my leg is tangled up
In little bits of the Hezbollah guy who used to make me laugh with his anti-Semitic jokes
Is that a finger?

But I don’t sleep much these days
Even though I’ve tried hard
But I haven’t found
Anything
That will dull the thud of 155mm howitzer rounds shaking the entire complex

They repeat, repeat, repeat
But they won’t find me under here
Or at least I’m hoping they won’t see
If the violence continues
That could kill me in so many ways
Hoping that I won’t get splattered
Or if I do, that I won’t be found in a puddle of piss

We think talk does not work
When the other side keeps stubbornly breathing
It is hard to find inter…inter…dupes
When the other guy is on to you
Seeing through you
And, possibly, at your internal organs, which also scares me
(I really have to pee)

How do you keep faith in infidels that talk will work
When they are monitoring the buildup of thousands of rockets in nearby orchards?

I am learning to keep my head down
I am learning to listen for the omnipresent whistling
And I am starting to wish I’d listened a little less to Imam Hackemup, and more to Twisted Sister

I amaze me.
Born in the Nazareth suburbs
Raised by a guy who knocked up my mom
I did not accept Jewish people as natural
I did not accept kuffar as hallal
I did not accept
That the ceaseless killing was really getting us nowhere
Or the blasting of the jihadis next to me
How much falafel does a $25K shaheed reward buy again?

I love this big corrugated sheet
Though it isn’t really mine
I don’t want to be under it
But the shells are still falling and I think I just heard someone say “Shalom, Levi”

And I cannot make myself fully silence the voice that insists:
What would I do if people were dropping rockets haphazardly into civilian areas
And kidnapping their brothers and husbands?

That is why the full realization of my predicament is so poignant
It is so sad…but I’m going to have to whiz in this can after all if I can reach my fly

Maybe it was all the coffee
Or maybe all this Hezbollah piss welling up inside me springs from the Gator-Aid of Hatred
But I still believe:
Corrugated iron and civilians can stop schrapnel

CosmicAvenger,
earlier, mentioned about the Pope,
but we must visualize Islam’s demographic creep from a larger perspective:

The Pope’s recent comments are important for Catholics, other Christians, and Jews. If we run away with secularism in the West, and distance ourselves from Christianity and Judaism, then we will be setting the stage for aggressive Islam to fill the religious vacuum. This is an unacceptable outcome. For many people, pure rational and logical thinking will not fully replace religion. Even if you are a ‘rational’ Christian, you must hold onto your roots. Christianity is necessary to unite and defend the West, and must remain firm. The fall of ancient Greece, may also happen to the US, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, if the Christian community is not sufficiently maintained. This is also the case in Russia, the former USSR countries, and other lands of Eastern Christianity. Islamic conquest has a long history. Kosovo is one recent example. The churches were destroyed. Mosques now stand in their place.

"Muhammad Abdul Bari, the secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, fears that continued negative attitudes towards people of his faith could provoke a vast and angry backlash."


I'm just wondering how the non-muslum backlash will will start first against the muslums or against the politicians who have allowed this whole mess to happen ?

Dominique Villepin, (who is a male) also known as 'Willie the pimp' has all the answers!

US is wrong to fight "WoT", only France and Europe have the 'wisdom inherited from history' -

"War is not the answer"... sez he:
