#1 well, since everyone's so agreeable and happy about the execution there won't be any appeals, right?
As far as the conflict between western and islamic cultures, Samudra, ...when's the last time an Arabic/Islamic nation had any sort of technological breakthrough? Never? The Hindus have, the Christians have, the Jews have.... but the Arabs and Islamists have to buy their tech from everyone else. Too freaking backward and culturally infantile to even get societally productive work from the 50% of their population born with a uterus

#2 Well, lessee. There was The Zero (not really tech, but useful) and... erm...

But the Zero was pretty good.

#3 They don't get credit for zero. Zero was borrowed from the Hindus. Credit our animist friends with zilch.

Of course, the Europeans got it from the Arabs, but the Arabs got it from the Hindus. Thanks fellas.

#7 Samudra predicted the destruction of Australia and the United States within 10 years

These guys just don't get it, do they?

We're NOT going to roll over and become good little muslims, shari'a will NEVER become the "law of the land" in the US, we'll nuke as many countries full of crazed Islamonazis as we need to if it comes down to the real hard-core nitty-gritty.

We won't like it, but we'll do it if forced to.

Something for the Jihadim to consider.

#8 Hey! The Arabs did to invent something! They invented a way to prevent lice in bed-o-wins hair. Camel piss, yup still use it too. Just not a big seller in western supermarkets. Harrumph! Not technologically advanced..says you.

#9 mojo-
Hear, hear! The nutjobs would be best served to find their own way to stifle it, but we will do it for them if need be and ain't no one gonna' be all that happy with the aftermath.

I hope the Indonesians put these critters to the firing squad, it will keep their lieutenants from trying to bust 'em out of jail.

#10 I find it interesting that China has expressed an opinion at all, however equivocated. As far as I can remeber, China has been silent on Iraq. I wonder if this has been tied by Powell to the NK and Chechen issues in a way to fashion support.

#11 Glad to hear it, Imam. Good to see we're all on the same page here. Hope you get your wish.
