Chicken Lays Mystery "Allah" Egg
I bet it tastes like shiite.
A chicken in a Kazakh village has laid an egg with the word "Allah" inscribed on its shell, state media reported Thursday. "Our mosque confirmed that it says 'Allah' in Arabic," Bites Amantayeva, a farmer from the village of Stepnoi in eastern Kazakhstan, told state news agency Kazinform. "We'll keep this egg and we don't think it'll go bad."

The news agency said the egg was laid just after a powerful hail storm hit the village.

Tiger mauls dumbass really schoopid woman at Dublin zoo
DUBLIN - A young woman was recovering in hospital on Wednesday after being mauled by a tiger at Dublin Zoo.
Tigers -- why do they regard us as food?
Because we're crunchy and taste good with ketchup
The woman and a man, believed to be in their late teens or early 20s, scaled several safety barriers on Tuesday afternoon in an attempt to reach three Siberian tigers in their compound, and finally reached a heavy-mesh fence next to the animals.
"Hey Liam, Kate, hold our ales and watch this!"
“She pushed her hand through and the tiger reacted as any tiger would and bit her,” a zoo spokeswoman said. After receiving first aid, the woman was rushed to hospital by ambulance and underwent emergency surgery on her arm.
She'll be forever known as 'Lefty Linda' in the Irish drinking ballads ...
“I think she was quite lucky to be able to pull back because normally tigers hold on,” said zoo director Leo Oosterweghel. The couple were carrying alcohol in soft drink bottles, “so we can make the assumption their judgment was impaired,” he added.
Leo talks like he's seen this once or twice in his life ...

Probably a follower of Princeton U professor Peter Singer and the Animals Are People Too Movement!

Isn't D and E enough to hate ourselves? I can see why the tigers want to bite our hands off.

#5  The most wonderful things about tiggers is tiggers are wonderful things. And, they will eat pork.

#6  Maybe the tiger was just after her "lucky charms".

BTW - going to the Dublin Zoo after a tour of the Guinness factory should be highly discouraged.

Fifth Column
Numnutz funeral protesters to get $5,000 bill
MUNDY TWP. - Military funeral protesters from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., asked for special police protection for a recent planned visit. Now they're getting something they didn't ask for: a bill.

The controversial group - who say military deaths are God's retribution for the country's failure to condemn homosexuality - planned to demonstrate at the July 1 memorial service for fallen Marine Lance Cpl. Brandon Webb of Swartz Creek. But they didn't show up, and now they'll be charged more than $5,000 for the cost of providing security. Mundy Township's message: You don't show up, you pay up.

Police were ready for the notorious protesters - who demonstrate at military funerals across the country, hurling insults at mourners and spitting on American flags - at Webb's memorial service at Swartz Funeral Home. But the church members, who had told authorities they were coming in a letter dated June 28, never appeared.

Police Chief David Guigear said Westboro's failure to show broke a verbal contract with the township for security services. "They didn't even give me a courtesy call to say they weren't coming," he said. Westboro parishioner and attorney Shirley Phelps-Roper said group members bought airline tickets, but they were told by the Holy Ghost at the last minute to stay home.

#2  Maybe they can forward the bill to the Holy Ghost.

(Though it's more likely the HG will smack the snot out of them instead of paying it.)

Wahhabists Promoting Islamic Extremism Through Villanova Jihad Camps
Villanova, PA - The heavy hand of the Saudi Kingdom is being felt in Villanova, Pennsylvania.

When Villanova's Foundation for Islamic Education [FIE] requested an expansion permit from the Lower Merion Council they were met with protests from concerned residents who were fed up with the group's flaunting of its zoning agreement.

As we noted in a July 10 piece - "Residents of Lower Merion County protesting the expansion of the Foundation for Islamic Education because of zoning violations, recently became aware that the center is planning to hold a Muslim Youth camp with many of the controversial speakers who appeared at a self-described "Jihad Camp" in 2001.

The FIE is funded and owned by the ex-Saudi Minister of Energy and Electricity - Abdullah Taiba and is a satellite campus of the American Open University the American division of al-Azhar University in Cairo, a hotbed of Muslim Brotherhood activity.

A hearing on the expansion permit is scheduled to take place on August 10. Even prior to the news about the camp, Lower Merion councilman Philip Rosenzweig conceded that "it would take time for the FIE to reestablish trust with the neighbors," according to a July 5th article Philadelphia Inquirer..."


The FIE acknowledged they had violated the rules, but what they didn't tell residents is that their Foundation is a satellite campus of the radical Islamist Al-Azhar University [Cairo, Egypt].

Check out some definitive Wahabi statements on the greater/lesser jihad controversy. Saudi media are prohibited from treating the Hadith of reference as reliable (sahih). Again: AOL hates tag-links so much that it erases them, so cut and paste:

India-Pakistan
Five hanged in Sialkot for 1997 gang rape
DASKA: Five men charged with gang raping a woman nine years ago were hanged early on Wednesday morning at Sialkot jail, a prison official said. Sialkot jail superintendent Intizar Wali Khan identified the five men as: Mushtaq Ahmad alias Pappu, Shehzad Maseeh, Yusaf, Abdul Jabbar and Iftikhar Al.

He said that the men had on August 19, 1997 entered the house of local trader Muhammad Boota Mughal and raped his wife, Sarraya Bibi, at gunpoint before making off with valuables worth hundreds of thousands of rupees. Four of the attackers were residents of Daska city, while one, a Christian, was a Pasrur city resident. Relatives of the convicted men were allowed a final meeting with them at the jail on Tuesday. After the execution, the dead bodies were handed over to family members for burial. Prison officials said that this had been the first time that five people had been executed in one day at Sialkot.
