FREEDOM FROM THE TERRORISTS!!!!

[Savage Beast]

"The two extremes of pro- and anti-Muslim sentiment in Britain are now united in not expecting even the most minimal ethical standards from Islamic countries"

...which is but one more example of widespread moral bankrupcy in the West.

This is what Canada has just adopted?

Iran Maiden was much better before Bruce Dickinson left. I heard he rejoined the band. Personally, I think Powerslave was probably the best album they put out.

[Free ThinkerNY]

Free Iran and the rest of the Muslim world from the Radical Islamist's reign of terror.

Yep...and, thanks to their incomparable stupidity, we'll soon be referring to our northern neighbor as "Canadistan."

[Yeti]

The only one I ever had was Seventh Son. I thought it was great, though someone who is very into the band has told me that it was not one of their better albums.

Infinite dreams -- I can't deny them,
Infinity is hard to comprehend ...

As far as I can see, it has not produced any comment here.

Yeah, this story hasn't produced comment in the UK or the US. Our media is too busy with Abu Ghraib, and too busy trying to save John Kerry's sorry backside.

I guess your post is meant to be sarcastic, right? You aren't really being glib about the death of this girl, right?

[McGavin999]

I was so stunned the other day when I read about this I couldn't even comment on it. I find myself in the same situation today. What can you say when clerics have become so corrupted by their power they are able to do something like this? What do you say, when their fellow clerics allowed this?

[Velveeta]

Incomprehensible.

Maybe he's just a big fan of Old Testament punishments. Stoning until dead was called for for adulterers, I believe.

[SALChamps03]

Which is why we should exterminate Islam from the face of the planet. There isn't a Muslim alive that I trust completely. One can never know what form of Islam they practice, or when they will be summoned to strap on a bomb, or when they might decide to murder a woman in the name of Allah.

[Cacique]

You two guys are cretins. You would do well to be in Count Draco's company. Never try feeding the shark, he wants more than just one bite.

[68skylark]

Yeah, there are a bunch of punishments like this in the Old Testament. In general, I'm not a fan of them. The other poster seemed to say he found nothing wrong with this sort of thing -- I assume his comment was meant as sarcasm.

I used to love his cereal when I was growing up. Actually Cap'n Crush was better. And since you brought up the subject, when did they change the name from Dig'em Smacks to just Kellogg Smacks? You just can't change the name of a cereal like that....
