"When al-Qaeda’s a able to attack, they attack. When they’re not able to attack, they threaten. It’s not rocket science."

Absolutely 100% correct.

" The increase of Moslem on Moslem violence ought to bring about an Islamic reform so they can adopt some modern practices such as declaration of heresy and excommunication. Surely there is supporting text in their book."

The only definition that would correspond to 'heresy' in the qu ran is saying something the local ayatollah mini-me declares against Allah's will and the punishment is death. The closest thing they have excommunication is - you guessed it - death.

They're really amazing over there. we get passionate here, but what's funny about DU is that all the posts seem to be written my the same person--Bush hate, swears, and conspiracy theories in every post.

My favorites so far:

Islam is incompatible with human life on earth
======
I think we should pull our troops out of Bangladesh right away

Oh wait



this crap makes me think of the ants declaring war against the Ortho guy. I hope we as a world get together and exterminate these lunatics soon.




DU's response: It's Bush's fault!



Islam must be eradicated from the planet.

Not Muslims. Islam.



"Just a few Moslem kids blowing off a little steam" - CAIR



So this is what service support has been doing at Hewlett-Packard !


Islam is incompatible with human life on earth.
Not according to quotes made by President Bush. Then again, President Bush said that "family values do not stop at the Rio Grande" so take his quotes with caution.

"String of bomb blasts rock Bangladesh (Jamaaet-ul Mujahedin claims responsibility for 400 bombs)"

Two killed, over 200 injured in 63 districts: an Islamic group claims responsibility


String of bomb blasts rock Bangladesh


Countrywide security alert ordered, check posts installed in each district

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Panic gripped the entire nation following the series of time-bomb explosions in all the district headquarters except Munshiganj that left at least two persons killed and more than 200 others injured on Wednesday.

Of the dead, a minor boy was killed on the spot at Savar and a rickshawpuller succumbed to the injuries in Chapainababganj district in the bomb attack and over 50 seriously injured victims were undergoing treatment at different hospitals and clinics.

The authority has imposed "Red Alert" soon after the series of bomb blasts, and directed the security forces to bring the Key Point Installations (KPI) and important public places under special security arrangement.

About 400 time bombs simultaneously exploded at different important public places including court-houses, airports and government offices in 63 districts including the capital city Dhaka within 30 minutes time from 11:00 am to 11:30 am triggered an alarming situation across the country.

According to the explosive experts, the bombs were home-made and crude. The detonator, which was connected with four pencil batteries by a couple of wires simultaneously, fused the bombs within 30 minutes time, experts added.

Several high-level security officials blamed the religious extremist outfit for the co-ordinated bomb attack across the country.

Jamaaet-ul Mujahedin, an outlawed Islamist extremist outfit unofficially claimed the responsibility of the series of bomb attacks.

Police recovered some leaflets written in Bangla and Arabic along with some unexploded bombs at different parts of the city after the incident. In the 2-page leaflets, the Jamaaet-ul Mujahedin urged the government for establishing Islamic rule in the country without wasting anymore time. They also called upon the Musim Ummah to participate in their mission to make the country an Islamic Republic."

"They just went after us first because the Koran gives instructions on the order in which to attack each of the types of "infidels". This maybe the start of plan B."

Oh, THAT'S a plan: tick off 750,000,000 Indians before finishing with 300,000,000 Americans and 75,000,000 British.

What's this plan's name? Operation Babaganoujrossa?

Earthdweller Our Freepers in India have been warning us that this would come. Islam preaches that those of the Hindu religion and the Buddhists are even more "evil" than Christians and Jews.

On Saturday, one person was killed and 50 others injured after several bombs were thrown at a Muslim shrine in eastern Bangladesh. In May last year, the British High Commissioner in Bangladesh was hurt in a grenade explosion at a Muslim shrine in the north-eastern town of Sylhet.

As a result of..

....leaflets emanating apparently from a recently prohibited islamist group calling with the application of the Koranic law to Bangladesh.
