The US government promulgates its version of Islam which is based on the president's interpretation of Islam. Under that version, we set up Islamic Republics in Afghanistan and Iraq. Under that version, we are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Under that version, Muslim immigration continues to the US. Under that version, Muslims are promoted in the military and presumably have greater and greater access to battlefield and other nukes in the US arsenal and technical secrets.

Under that version, this ball was distributed. If they are wrong about the ball, aren't they wrong about the rest? Doesn't this ball show that their entire version of Islam should be kicked out?

Shouldn't they be mad at the Saudis for initially desecrating Allah by tying him to a flagpole?

I've seen bird droppings on car hoods that looked suspiciously like the Arabic squiggle for Allah, so how far you take this icon worship of mere human scrawls only demonstrates the immature nature of the superstitious Mohammedan mind.

Let's see here, rioting over children's footballs, rioting over cartoons, rioting over what the Pope said, rioting over America, etc., stampede mobs killing each other at Mecca, multiple never ending suicide bombings... Isn't it time Islam PROVES TO US it really is a 'religion of peace'? By all evidence, the contrary is true, they are a religion of riotous death, destruction, perpetual anger and killing. Australia's new citizenship test should be mandatory and universal, ask them to PROVE they may live with us, because all evidence is to the contrary. Islam for peace? What rot. To allow Islam into our world is criminal insanity.

No surprise here, they're never happy. Any little thing that they can use to cry victimization or profess an insult is leapt upon immediately and tossed back in the West's face. What gets me is that it seems to work.

Bush should try to Win One For the Gipper. He can do that not by playing football, or replacing footballs, but by refusing to play the Muslim game. He needs to find some time to be educated, fully educated, on the matter of Islam. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a lot of leisure time, and he's not very intelligent, and so we are going to have to endure Tarbaby Iraq -- paying for the low SAT scores, and ignorance that is not confined to Jay Leno's Jaywalkers, but that has been percolating up, down, and sideways for several decades now. The dopes and quasi-dopes are running things.

It's a problem.

"The words, which include the name of Allah, are revered, and Muslims are very sensitive about where and how they can be used."

Some permissible uses for the Arabic word "allah":

1. Carved into the flesh of infidel pigs as a warning...
2. Written on Nazi style Islamic flags (like Saudi Arabia's)
3. On placards and signs threatening genocide against unbelievers.
4. Generally anyplace that Muslims feel confident enough and pissed off enough to scrawl the name of their heathen godhead in order to instill fear among their victims and declare their supremacist triumph uber alles...

There are other, more mundane applications -- but balls -- NEVER*

(*that is, unless they're of the freshly cut-off type, but then the scrawling of "allah" requires the miniscule and steady hand of a practiced lad in the local madrassa with a steel or iron nib, or perhaps rusty scalpel...)

Posted by: jsla at August 26, 2007 7:14 PM

These "idjits" do not belong in the 21st century. Their god is not big enough nor powerful enough to strike us all dead with fire or lightning or whatever a god of his sort uses nowadays to "smite" with, so they get all worked up and go nuts and try to kill for allah. I wonder if they ever think about letting allah do his own hits?

We need American Footballs in Iraq, Big ones and small ones. Well, Body Bags that look like them.

Especially designed for all those "peaceful Muslims" who are confused in a terminal way. Good for the whole Body or what ever peaces that are left after they blow themselfs up.

Physological effects are more important than professing authentisity.

About 10 or 12 years ago these soccer er footballs were sold at BP stations at 4.99 with fill up. Where was the outrage then. Just another excuse to riot, bout time America opens a can of whoopass on any person that seeks to destroy peace.

I remember the Mohammedens were in an uproar a few world cups back when Budweiser Beer had a poster with all the flags of the nations involved including the saudi flag...one of my less intellectually inclined custumors thought this was so hilarious that he purposely spilled beer on the flag.

Posted by: Briars at August 26, 2007 11:03 PM

Bush dropped the ball and Islam has lost it's marbles.Whats was the question again?

I guess we should continue with our self loathing over this horid act.

Maybe we should ship some American made Flags for them to burn as we ship those Islamic flag decorated balls to thier paradise.

I't doesn't get pettier than this. I would have a laugh but i am too busy banging my head into the wall.

If i knew which would be considered the extremist here i would give them a severe finger wagging.Ehh who am i kidding we did it,i hate myself.

I hope we didn't pay too much for those balls they are after all not congressional toilet seats.

Dam a star of david and a cross placed next to the "Allah flag". Is that not Denmark's flag above said Arabian flag.

I am for body bags that have a cross printed on it and writing in Arabic
"Alla is dead but Jesus is alive from the dead!"
الله ميت ولكن يسوع حيا من الميت!

Due 5:7-9
You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, . . .

بسبب 5:7-9
ليس لك عليهم آلهة اخرى امامي. انت لا تجعل لنفسك أي صورة منحوتة ، او أي شيء من هذا التشابه هو في السماء فوق ، او التي هي في أسفل الأرض ، أو في الماء تحت الأرض. انت لا تنحني عليها او يعمل بها ؛ لأنا ربكم فاتقون صباحا غيورا الله. .

"Some displayed flags from countries all over the world, including Saudi Arabia, which features the shahada, one of the five pillars of Islam - the declaration of faith."

Our military shouldn't be promoting Islam by putting quotes from the Quran on the balls anyway.

Quotes from Thomas Jefferson, and other enlightened thinkers, would have been far more appropriate.

Posted by: rational at August 27, 2007 2:19 AM

That's the ticket! Make a big deal about minutia! Seems those bent on attracting attention, need to do so! Ignore the complaint folks! That will drive them nuts! Denial is the caretaker of insipience! Ignorance is not good; but retalialitory feedback can't hurt! Islam is doomed if one studies it carefully! Democracy is the flow of life eternal!

Posted by: stan636 at August 27, 2007 3:57 AM

Ok, that does it...no more dropping blasphemous balls.
(obviously they don't like the blue in the Israeli flag because the blue in their own "blasphemous balls" is darker for some odd reason, lol)

Next time, we should drop laxatives for their sphincter problem they obviously suffer...as well as hard liquor & girlie mags to quell their other "sensitivities" they obviously suffer from.
lol

'A demonstration has been held in south- east Afghanistan accusing US troops of insulting Islam after they distributed footballs bearing the name of Allah'

.....the Muslims would also protest if the US troops had just dropped bombs with Allahs name painted on the shell casing....

only the protest would have had fewer participants....

Perhaps the Muslims feared that little children might have some joy in life playing soccer.....on wait just a minute...Muslims have killed children playing soccer, In fact , they have killed children watching soccer on TV....

...I guess it is better just to drop the bombs...

and Ban Muslim Immigration...

Posted by: exsgtbrown at August 27, 2007 7:18 AM

As I posted on Sheik yer'mami's site yesterday, I can't help but think this was a deliberate prank.

That they dropped these balls from a helicopter is a big clue. These Mohammedans were bombed with balls very like the ones they had protested, and gotten banned at the World Cup.

It looks kind of like a "You wouldn't let us sell them, so they're all yours" deal. Even Allah, if he existed, would know that these dumb balls would do more "damage" if Mohammedans had them, than if they were allowed to be quietly sold, and to drift away to other parts of the world.

I'm guessing there are some very ticked off children today, whose fathers and Imams won't let them play with these.

Next time, our troops should drop Qur'ans...

Posted by: Abscedere at August 27, 2007 9:10 AM

We're told incessantly that Afghanistan is one of the most impoverished, desparate countries in the world....and yet 'blasphemous balls' are the kind of things they somehow find ample time and energy to protest about....

Oh, balls!!

Everybody KNOWS that Islam does NOT permit fun of any kind (as exemplified by these Islamically nefarious and fatwa-inducing balls).

What was Uncle Sam thinking? Or was he thinking at all? And speaking of balls, Uncle sam needs to grow a few more where they REALLY matter when dealing with Islam and its bloody jihads...

desidude :

You're off by about 20 years because I remeber the riots and outrage in the Middle east when a shoe company had a Logo embossed on the arch of the soles that was perceived as a similiar
Arabic writing for the word Allah.

The company pulled the shoes and changed the marking on the bottom of the shoe , the appeasement started along time ago and has progressed to the new phase of imposing islam on people by-proxy through the workplace rule when dealing with Muslims .
