Palestinian shot after he tries to stab soldier dies of wounds
2008-05-04
A Palestinian man has died of his wounds after IDF soldiers shot him close to a checkpoint in the southern West Bank, police said Saturday. The IDF said the 30-year-old man approached the checkpoint carrying a knife on Friday and attempted to stab a soldier. The army said troops opened fire and wounded the man, identified as Khalil Zaarir. He later died in an Israeli hospital.

#12  Ummm, Barbara, a sudden thought, maybe, just maybe, that's really what's happening here, allah has turned his back on his "Too stupid to live" followers(using the word extremely loosely) and we're doing allah's job of extermination of those he deems too stupid to live?

He's certainly NOT helping them.

Hmmm?

#8  Poor Allah! I'm starting to feel sorry for the old dude. If I was a deity with such chump-ass followers, I'd shoot myself.

Imagine you are sitting around with the rest of the gods at happy hour when Odin turns to Yaweh with an air of feigned non-chalance and says "So, what have your people been up to lately?" Poor ol' Allah just rolls his eyes and thinks "Here we go again."

#7  As Allah wills it. "Really," the poor god must be saying to himself,"when will these stupid people recognize my message? Must I cause Iran and Syria to be conquered as well?" Picture the slumped shoulders as their god sets about seeing to what must be done, to make the Muslims submit as they promise five times daily.
