I think someone had the right idea about what should happen with abu-Chavez(not to mention any names)....

This jerk is nothing but a very big problem about to happen.

"We pray to `Allah’ that no war would be launched against Iran!"

I didn't think that socialists prayed at all! OTH, praying to Allah is like not praying at all.

[Gordongekko909]

Yeah, opiate of the masses and all that. But I guess the Marxists have found a religion they don't mind having around.

[prairiebreeze]

oh,swell......

[Sender]

He's not really praying, he just knows saying such a thing will get his face carried around on posters as a hero in Islamville.

[Mike Darancette]

What a goof.

[LSUfan]

Reminds me of a few years ago when North korea called for "holy war" against the US.

Oh well, there isn't much more Chavez can do to anger the Catholic church I guess. But there is a growing Muslim population in Venezuela.

[airborne]

We should have taken him out long ago, when we had the chance.

Chavez doesn't get this Allah thing at all. He was evidently brought up Christian. Who knows, he might still be Christian.

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Nevertheless, hope this gets reported widely in Venezuela, which, presumably, still has some Catholics in the country who does not want his country to fall to socialism and, apparently, Islam.
