#11 When Allaah (swt) speaks about ... murtaddeen (apostates — those who used to be Muslim then became kaafir
I like the way these lame brains always provide a glossary for their Islamo-babble.

#13 there are several muslim groups in Britain who have opted out of the jihad; ismailis, ahmadyas and some sufi groups
obviously, this bugs the jihadist groups

#14 dennisw---re #12. Before we get into the high energy conjecture Zen koan for today, let me pose another Koan:
If you are smack dab on the opposite side of the earth from Mecca, which way do you PTP (point to pray)? It would be assumed that you point to the most direct and shortest geodetic distance toward Mecca. In this case, it would be any direction. But of course I am looking at the problem from western kiffir mindset. I guess that I will have to float a fatwa and see who bites.

#15 straightest path is through the earth, hence I was being only slightly facetious when I told the last one to stick his head where the sun don't shine.
#16 I'm starting to suspect that Islam is the work of a group of teenaged Star Trek fanboys who study Klingon.

#17 Unburdened by the constraints of spherical trigonometry and dealing with the geoid, and inspired by the burrowing Norks, Frank G solves the koan. Next question: How do you pray vertically down toward Mecca? Maybe we won't go there today......

#19 The answer is simple you silly kaffirs! The believers at the point opposite Mekkah form circles instead of the traditional lines and all slam their head as hard as possible into the earth in effort to get closer to the beautiful black stony meteorite a mere 8,000 miles or so away.

#21 Nah, BH; if it was Klingon-studiers, the women would be dressed in Xena-style leather armor and would as soon kill you as sleep with you. Now, Ferengi, on the other hand . . .
