#3 Not much of a payback for over a thousand years of Muslim invasions and annexations of Christian lands.

#4 Zhang - I agree. I would say we have about 9907 years to go!

a bunch of trigger-happy fly-boys shot up a village wedding in western Iraq, killing 45 guests including many children, and a Baghdad singer loved by millions

How do you say "lying crock of shit" in Arabic?

Not trigger happy enough, if you ask me.

#10 "Thus it went on, until the Second World War, and afterwards, through the eight years of the French war in Algeria, the Israeli repression of the Palestinians and the bombing of Iraq during the 12 years of post-Gulf War sanctions."

Note how he slips "the Israeli repression of the Palestinians" in without refering to any incidents or providing evidence of deliberate attacks on civilians.

Typical bullshit propaganda, but done with a degree of skill: find one or two incidents that really happened, and embellish and invent the rest.

#12 Time to start planning the Centennial celebration. I suggest something spectacular, a simultaneous pyrotechnique display in Damascus, Istanbul, Cairo, Tehran, Qom, Islamabad, Riyadh, Mecca, and Medina; something in the low megaton range.
