#30  Hiding behind women and children won't hide their sorry a$$es from an ARCLIGHT strike.

They've GOTTA let me get one in, and Fallujah just hungers for it! And I'd plan a doozie - thirty-two ships, in pairs, each coming in from a different compass point at ten minute intervals... Of course, the "H" models can "only" cram aboard 78 weapons, so we'll need the extra aircraft. Pull the Marines and any known, loyal Iraqis about fifteen miles, seal all the entry-exit points, and let her rip! Preferably beginning about 0257, local time - just when everybody's in deep sleep. For the town of Fallujah, it will be their last...

Yeah, I'm a bastard, but the Iraqis will get the point.

#27  The two quotes by .com (#s 17 and 21) may provide the answer. The second one makes the the key point - "But you will be as worthless as scum. And Allah will void the hearts of your enemy of any respect for you, and He will imbue your hearts with effeteness.’ The prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) accurately describes the heart of those fighting the insurgents who hide behind women and children. I'm still not sure how the "bid’ah" fits into this, but I'm from Texas and it may take awhile to figger that part out.

Posted by: Frank G   2004-04-28 10:14:43 PM  

#21  Lol! Bidet, bidah, who's to know? But make sure you've made a good tight seal before you...

Did you guys see the one on the Judgment Day?

Big Finish:
"I remember in this respect that Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘You will fall prey to other nations, in the same way eaters gather upon a tureen.’ A man asked, ‘Is it due to our small numbers?’ The Prophet said, ‘Nay, you will be abundant at that time. But you will be as worthless as scum. And Allah will void the hearts of your enemy of any respect for you, and He will imbue your hearts with effeteness.’ People asked, ‘What do you mean by effeteness?’ The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘It is to love life and hate death.’”

Allah Almighty knows best."


Indeed, this is Allan at the top of his game...

what about the fuzzy dice or the crown shaped -room aroma dispenser? Are they Bidet too?

"Hanging aayaats on walls for protection
Islam Q&A - 12/04/2004 07:09:00 GMT

Is it proper to hang Quranic verses from the wall to
1. protect one from evil things
2. beautify the room with divine words
3. with the intention that it will gain me rewards

Answer :

Praise be to Allaah.

The ruling on placing the Mus-haf (copy of the Qur’aan) in cars to ward off the evil eye and for protection from danger is a bid’ah. The Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) never carried the Mus-haf to ward off danger or the evil eye. If it is bid’ah, then we should remember that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every bid’ah is a going-astray and every going-astray will lead to Hell.” (Telephone conversation with Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen) (al-Bida’ wa’l-Muhdathaat wa maa laa aslun lahu, p. 259)..."

#16  You can get guidance here, Sam - just post your questions and a fatwa will be custom-generated. I'm sure the experts there will resolve these pesky details for you.

#15  Sam, Sam, Sam - You are cluttering the theological experts with too many details. We can't answer this. The Imam al-Sadr is to busy defending his bony ass to answer such a hypothetical.

#14  I am a little rusty on my radical Islamic theology, and I need some help. Are the women shields and child shields martyrs? Does it depend on whether they volunteered to shield the jihadi warriors or if they are infidels forced to shield the warriors? How young a child can make the decision?

#11  I just got a new car with XM satellite radio. I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to have access to Fox News all of the time. I listened to the Fallujah action yesterday evening on the way home. I wish they would do a national radio broadcast so I could listen while at work, too.

Was that it?

Witnesses on the ground said insurgents were hiding behind women and children during the firefight

Gotta be some good pool/billiard players amongst those Marines. Too bad they couldn't use a bank shot.
