N. Korea’s Islamic credentials?
2004-02-05
Snipped from an otherwise dull article
After the disclosure in Iran, Pakistan was no longer able to ignore the issue and its popular nuclear weapons scientist, Abdul Qadeer Khan, confessed to selling nuclear know-how to Iran, Libya and North Korea. When asked why, he replied that he thought other Islamic nations should have nuclear weaponry, but appeared somewhat stuck for a reply when he was asked about the Islamic credentials of North Korea.

#2  Maybe it's about time for Allah to designate yet another last messenger somewhere else. Has Kim Jong Ill been receiving secret visits recently from the angel Gabriel?
