Hmm I got 2 of them right. I always like people telling me you cant fight and Idea with guns but I guess we can fight tme with money by ending poverty ?

How does enriching Jihadists make them less dangerous ? They look at our giving them money as dhimminitude and the rightfull order of things. We are giving them exactly what they believe is they way things should be.

And dont give me “They hate america for blowback> if they hate America why are they even in Iraq killing fellow Muslims ? Shouldnt they come here and attack us to spare their fellows any pain ?

blowback = BS

Wikipedia? Seriously?

amerpundit on February 5, 2008 at 5:51 PM

3/4! (I missed the “who called Islam a religion of terrorism” one; in fairness, my second guess was “me,” which wasn’t any of the abve)

I was curious if you had seen that first question.

abinitioadinfinitum on February 5, 2008 at 5:55 PM

I got them all right except for number three, but in my defense it’s very difficult to keep track of who they are outraged at today.

Uffda!

You need to stop drinking the NYT’s Kool-Aid man.

And here’s another one. Did Hamas blow up the Sinai-Gaza wall a) to relieve the suffering and nicotine withdrawal symptoms of the Palestinians? or b) to throw sufficient human chaff in the air to sneak a few of Allah’s self-detonating soldiers into Israel through Egypt?

Would I spoil the quiz for you if I asked, Are you freakin’ kidding me?

I think I need to see that in Robert’s next Vent. I just can’t quite picture that phrase coming out of his mouth. Heh. I got #1 right only because I knew A and C were wrong. Missed #3 though. Who would have thought?

In re the Wikipedia furore, I went ahead and signed the petition (by the name Aisha bint Abu Bakr, #91,696) to have the images of the Prophet (PBUH) removed, just so I could leave the following comment, which exceeds my wonted gentle ways:

The rule of Islam is not the rule of the West. In the West we are free to characterise, satirise, criticise, insult or mock any false prophet we want. We can call Mohammed a paedophile and murderer if we want and no one has any right in the universe to try to slit our throats. Piss upon your dirty Führer Mohammed and his filthy religion of violence. To hell with your imperialism, bigotry and intimidation. And if those of you living in the West think the words I say right here are a crime, then take yourself to some dirty country where people are killed for speaking. Because the West is not the land of submission; and it does not belong to you, but to the free.

(I lifted the phrase “[your] filthy religion” from Hitchens.)

The petition has a little “lolcats” flavor to it.

Removal of the Pics of Muhammad from Wikipedia
Target:To tell wikipedia editors to respect other peoples religion
Sponsored by: Faraz Ahmad

In Islam pictures or Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and other holly figures are not allowed, but on wikipedia they has published some pictures that are showing not only a body with white face but an image that has a complete face.. that is even not allowed by SHITAT fact of Islam.
i request all my brothers and sisters to sign this petition so we can tell wikipedia to remove them.

Can they haz porkburger?

What did Churchill say or do when one of his generals suggested that, to win the war, they should build training camps for the Nazis to help “turn them.”

1. Had the officer immediately shot as a traitor.
2. Said, “General, I am drunk. But you are an idiot. Tomorrow, I shall be sober but you will still be an idiot and a newly demoted private.”
3. Said, “You’ve been talking to the French again, haven’t you?”
4. Sent him to Germany to personally wish Hitler a Happy Hanukkah.

Second look at a Mohammed tattoo? Hmmm.

Geronimo on February 5, 2008 at 7:13 PM

I had an advantage. The Wikipedia article was posted at FR today. Let’s hope they don’t cave. If they don’t like Muhammad’s page, they probably don’t care too much for this one either.

Connie on February 5, 2008 at 7:37 PM

Very good post Bryan! Very informative, interesting and, well, fun for a change when discussing muslims and their ilk. Do it again sometime soon.

countywolf on February 5, 2008 at 7:46 PM

If I check back tomorrow, will the information at Wikipedia be the same?

RushBaby on February 5, 2008 at 8:27 PM

I think the guy that wrote the petition to Wikipedia is my tech support geek.

whitetop on February 5, 2008 at 8:29 PM

Good way to link Bryan. Good post!

SouthernDem on February 5, 2008 at 8:56 PM

Great post!

NeoconNews.com on February 6, 2008 at 3:16 AM

I missed the wikipedia one, but I am quite sure an acceptable answer to that question could be “all of the above” anyway.

Before I look, I’ll say 1:A; 2:F; 3:B; 4:A

amerpundit on February 5, 2008 at 5:51 PM

You sir, should be ashamed of yourself.

That was amusing. Dispatching with style.
