It's an M&M jihad for Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. From Fox News, with thanks to DC Watson:
NEW YORK — The man accused of masterminding the first World Trade Center bombing and plotting to blow up New York City landmarks is deliberately trying to damage his own health so his followers will retaliate against the United States, according to a federal prosecutor.Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, who is currently serving a life sentence, has reportedly stopped taking his insulin medicine and started eating M&Ms to make his diabetes worse. The blind cleric has apparently been upset about not getting the specific brand of tea he likes in prison....
U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who was the prosecutor in Abdel-Rahman’s 1995 trial, testified he believed for some time that the sheik “was going to play with his medical condition” because he knew the U.S. government would be blamed if something happened to him.

I'm in agreement with Bob. They're already pissed off at us, what's one more terrorist leaving the gene pool (this time voluntarily, to boot) going to do to enrage them further?

It's only fair...he's been making us sick all these years...
And unless somebody sneaks in a webcam so we can all watch him die online (oops, I shouldn't have said that)he's old news to the basically narcissistic jihadiots.

Don't give in to him. Remember, that Islam is patient, and will chip away, trying to make small wins into a large victory.

Since that blind inmate Abdel-Rahman has a real penchant for M&M's, why doesn't the warden at the prison order up a plate of rocky-mountain oysters (from piglets), get'em candy coated and give them to him after telling him he's getting a big treat for good behaviour? He's blind so just tell him that these extra large M&M's were special ordered just for him..
After he's done wolfing them down whole, let it slip what they really were.

"...deliberately trying to damage his own health so his followers will retaliate against the United States."
So let me get this straight, if he dies or become ill, millions of muslims around the world will hate the States and “The West” and thousands of them will try to do us harm….. and….what’s new about this? Just take him out into the nearest public courtyard and hack his head off and be done with it.

The hideous old buzzard, blind in eye and soul, should be allowed to get stick and stay sick.

Someone should swap his insulin for battery acid and force-inject it into his jugular vein, dying from exessive sugar is far too painless for this maggot.

M&M's have iconic status as the favorite candy of American schoolchildren, who would, before eating them, carefully arrange them into piles according to color -- with oranges and reds being the rarest, and hence the most tasty, to be eaten last, while the brown ones were the commonest, and therefore were the least desirable, to be gobbled first.
Pudeur prevents one from alluding to the well-known advertisement for M&Ms in the innocent days of one's youth; but if one felt like it, no doubt some sleight of word might be performed with the double-entendre. However, the temptation should be resisted for many reasons, not least to show a strength of character superior to that of Sheikh Abdel Rahman, who apparently finds those M&Ms irresistible. We Infidels must not let down the side.

Will M&Ms be the next reason to jihad? For some strange reason, I want to watch Monty Python now.
