#2 Brave. Very brave. You could tell your grandkids about it someday, but with balls as big as peppercorns, you couldn't have any even if you lived that long.

#3 Jeebus, don't know who's more sick:

(1) "Insurgents" in Iraq who are intentionally placing hidden bombs (mines?) in soccer fields where kids play and lob mortars onto other soccer fields.

(2) The Taliban, who hung wommin-folk in soccer stadiums.

(3) Hezbollah, who intentionally round up kids (some who were invalid, supposedly), place them in a house, sit a AA gun on the roof and await the IAF to bomb the house, all the while running away themselves and hoping for good MSM video.

(4) The Beslan murderers who killed hundreds of children in the elementary school there.

Who do these punk-@ss "brave lions of Islam" think they are? It's basically a deadly game of the high school bully who picks on kids half his height/weight until someone finally stands up and says "Hey, sh!thead, why don't you pick on someone your own size?"

#4 I'd put the Beslan Boyz'n'Girlz at the top -- they personally raped the babies, instead of waiting for hot metal and explosives to kill and maim for them. But that's only a matter of small degree and opportunity, not a judgement on degrees of evil.

#5 Personally, I'm with ya on that assessment, TW! Hadn't heard the raping babies story, but the massacre alone puts them at the top of the heap(tm) in my mind.

#6 They did gang-rape children and bayonet babies in Beslan - that has been reported a number of times.

#7 TW, I believe the only difference between the Islamist murderers in Beslan and anyplace else is opportunity. Given the same chance to work their will on Israelis I have no doubt the Paleos and Hezb would do worse, assuming of course that such a thing is possible. These foul animals do not know the meaning of either mercy or self-restraint.

#8 Mohammand is their example -- the perfect Muslim.

Didn't he have the Jews of Medina lined up and executed in front of their women and children -- and then have the women (and likely children) gang-raped that very night?

#10 Apparently, Allan hates soccer.

Damn, and I thought Allan and I had nothing in common.
