Time to Rock and Roll. Maybe just maybe the women will stand up to their men and say no to the idea of they and their children being shields. Come on girls...get some backbone.

If allah is the only god, then why cant he protect his mosques?

Because he isnt god.

Lets Roll.

[Poohbah]

I wonder if these were Iraqi reporters.

Yes. The Iraqis were the ones doing the cheering when Bremer said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we got him."

[k2blader]

Good.

My totally-serious response: well, this certainly gives yet another opportunity for Muslims to show their true colors.

What I mean is this. We're told most of them are peace-loving, decent folks. Fine; I'd love that to be true.

If it's true, then this is a perfect opportunity (as if they haven't already had countless opportunities) to say, "Say, Mohammed — why don't you get your guns, your bombs, your knives, and your bloody butt out of our mosque before we THROW you the heck out?"

Holy Shite.

Gen. Kimit? live on MSNBC confirms that we hit a Mosque's wall with 2 500 ponders and maybe a hell fire too. No apology!

[Mr. Mojo]

It's long past time that mosques - terrorist fronts, to be precise - to lose their protected status here in the U.S. as well.

David Hackworth was ranting this AM on WOR radio that it has to be some "trigger happy" pilot who fired on the mosque, how it was a terrible idea, etc, etc. What happened to that guy?

[Poohbah]

If allah is the only god, then why cant he protect his mosques?

Because he isnt god.

Weak argument: does that mean that God isn't God if He doesn't protect a Christian church from getting blown up?

[Loyal Buckeye]

two mosques hit, per Fox News

[k2blader]

Please pardon my ignorance, but what the heck is that??

[MrB]

"No where to run to ragheads, no where to hide. "

Sounds almost musical.

[glock rocks]

... when mosques are used to organize, incite or execute violence "mosques lose their protected status".

Hmmm... seems rational. Don't suppose we could try that reasoning here?

"It's long past time that mosques - terrorist fronts, to be precise - to lose their protected status here in the U.S. as well."

Right, lets be fair and consistent. Here too.

This is from an Aussie paper, I just copied it from another thread:

US marines pressing an offensive in this Iraqi town west of Baghdad bombed a central mosque and killed up to 40 insurgents holed up inside, a marine officer said.


The bombing came after several hours of small arms and rocket-propelled grenades (RPG) fire from insurgents, which left three marines wounded, said Lieutenant Colonel Brennan Byrne.


He said there were "as many as 40 rebels" inside the mosque. "We want to kill the people inside," he added.


The officer said a Cobra helicopter gunship fired a Hell Fire missile at the mosque and then an aircraft dropped a laser-guided precision bomb.


Fallujah residents confirmed that the Abdulaziz al-Samarai mosque was hit along with the building of the Islamic Scholars' Association.


The officer said the marines carried out the raid as precisely as they could because there were people living nearby.


US forces have claimed that the rebels who are fiercely opposed to the US-led occupation of Iraq are using mosques to fire on marines and to hide weapons.
