Seriously, since -- as most assume -- all religions are equally capable of inciting their adherents to violence, why don't we see real headlines like the one above? Baptists targeting Methodists, Presbyterians bloodily retaliating for the last Episcopalian attack -- you get the idea. "43 Held after Bombs Found at Sunni Leader's Office," from AFP (thanks to all who sent this in):
BAGHDAD (AFP) - Authorities arrested more people on Friday after car bombs were found near the offices of Iraqi politician Adnan al-Dulaimi but did not say whether they thought he was the target or intended to use them himself.Dulaimi, who told AFP he may have been targeted, said US and Iraqi troops held 43 people in raids on his Baghdad office and home after discovering two primed car bombs nearby.
"Early in the morning US and Iraqi troops came to my home and arrested 30 people, including my son Mekki," Dulaimi said.
He said troops had detained 13 people in a Thursday evening raid.
At the time, the Iraqi military Thursday announced the discovery of two vehicles packed with explosives at the premises in Baghdad's Hail Adel neighbourhood.
"Two car bombs, primed to explode, were found inside the office compound," Iraqi army spokesman Brigadier General Qasim Ata said on Thursday.
Troops destroyed the bombs in controlled explosions, causing heavy damage to Dulaimi's office and several nearby houses.
"It's a matter of regret that we found these car bombs at his office," Ata added, without saying whether Dulaimi was the target or whether the vehicles were meant to be detonated elsewhere.
On Friday, Dulaimi dissociated himself from the vehicles, which he said were found "somewhere behind my office and not close to it."
"There was no car bomb in or near my office," he insisted.
"I want to tell the Iraqi government, the American and Iraqi forces to check the information correctly because this announcement will make problems for the political process."
Indeed.

"43 held after bombs found at Christian fundamentalist leader's office -- no, wait..."
...actually, the bombs were found at the Scientology Headquarters, in the office of Tom Cruise himself.

Good show troops. I like this kind of control.
"I want to tell the Iraqi government, the American and Iraqi forces to check the information correctly because this announcement will make problems for the political process."
Sounds like threat to me.

OT, but very important Academia Watch:
PLEASE read this column (and weep) by the Editor of the LSU Reveille, "Holiday Tree a must for diverse campus."
I've made a comment (not published yet) and hope others will do the same. It's about CHRISTMAS, people! Please comment!
Thank You --darcy

Osama's new strategy:
Dont blow up things, just plant massive car bombs at politicians compounds to place them under suspicion.
The bigger the bombs, the greater the suspicion.
Brilliant ?
This way one does not have to kill them. Anew way to take out your enemy.
Wait, aren't they all muslim ?
Never mind.

darcy-
Read that article. I think the writer should be called "Stupid Butthole". After all, it's just a name change.
I felt like that article was a gag, only this is 2007 and not 1957 so I know it's all too true.
P.S. Everytime I see that link with "lsureveille" in it I keep thinking "Loserville". Really weird!

Thanks for reading! No, it's not a gag! Here's what happened - the Chancellor of LSU changed back the name to Christmas Tree! This probably happened because of some big $ supporters who gave him a phone call...Anyway, it's CHRISTMAS tree again!
No comments have been posted yet, but I said "Oh, it's just a name change?" Well, OK, let's change Menorah to Candlestick Holder - ask some Jewish people how they'd feel about that. In addition, since you seem to think that name-changing is no big deal, let's change your name from Justin to Goofus, k?! You like that? Well, Goofus, since name-changing is no big deal in your mind, you shouldn't care one whit! See ya, Goofus! Oh, and Merry Christmas!" (Paraphrase. Let's see if they publish my comment).

I'd post a comment, but with a name like mine it would be dead on arrival.
But at least a Christmas tree is back to being called what it is. A victory for sanity, even if it is a small one.

LOL, you can post with any name you want. I didn't post under "darcy," for example.

Sure jihadists blow stuff up and kill people at random, but a Baptist once called me a jerk! So they are equally evil I guess.

Posted a comment there. I doubt it'll fly. I used the name of this site's most famous troll-might as well spread her/their fame far and wide!

Duliami seems to be a bit unconcerned about someone trying to kill him. You have to love the little Brain teasers Islam produces.

I saw it! LOL!!! I must say I took a double-take! So good, IFL's!
Mine were posted too, under different names - check out "Merry Christmas."
at November 30, 2007 9:01 PM
Ha-ha! "Justin Mussolini" - good one, IFL's!
"Stupid Butthole" was great, too. After all, it's just a "name change!"
How horrific to have such brainwashed university students. What an imbecile, the Editor. Truly, it's worth shedding tears over.

I see duh swami (another regular here) posted there too. I am amazed that such comments were shown at all-this must qualify as progress for the likes of that bunch.
Damn! I should have written that comment in the correct troll style. Oh well, I jerked two chains at least.
Posted by: ISLAMSFORLOSERS at December 1, 2007 12:07 AM
lol, those evil amish...don't even get me started!
How dare they not use modern conveniences? How dare they forgive criminals and be so damn nice? Those evil, evil amish.
