Why not roses and lilies? From our Beyond Parody Department: "Why not Islamist radio station in Somalia giving guns, bombs to children," from the [1] San Francisco Examiner, September 20 (thanks to all who sent this in):

An Islamist militia-run radio station in Somalia said it is awarding guns and bombs to three children who won a Quran recital contest. Andulus radio station — operated by the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab rebels — announced that the first prize winner in the contest received a rifle and $700, the second prize winner got a rifle and $500, and the third prize winner received two bombs. All three children also received Islamist books.
