Better be a bit careful here.The US built them a nice long airstrip for emergency landings during the STS pro gramme. ( I refuse to call it a shuttle... the crews deserve more respect than that) .
Mind you if you HAVE to land on something bananas will be softer than concrete.

When the "cure" fails on somebody he'll insist that there's nothing wrong with the treatment then claim that allah simply did not will that particular person to be healed. That's how they think in the Islamic world. Just watch and see.

Which means that they are on the same level as most Christians:

“AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals”
--Jerry Falwell

See: aids, god's punishment

they must cease drinking alcohol, tea and coffee. They also cannot eat kola nuts or have sex.

Good luck getting that to work in America. :)

Yer right about that. I'm not about to give up eating Kola nuts.

You actually think Jerry Falwell speaks for "most Christians"??

LOL. But then again, I guess your tagline says what I need to know.

A search on Google using the words, "aids, god's punishment" returned 1,030,000 results. Obviously, Falwell isn't the only one who believes this. But, you already knew that, didn't you?

No, the loons are those who believe that disease is God's punishment for misbehavior.

A google search using the words, "aids, christians, god's punishment" returned 1,140,000 results.

These are your brethren.

Speaking of loons. You picked a fight with me, remember?

My original post (#22) was to lqclamar, not you.

Why did you respond to my original post?

I was wondering in part if you weren't just using sarcasm to illustrate the absurdity of the story. But apparently not. It's kindof amusing, then.

I've no interest in actually debating these ridiculous things. OK, so you believe some strange stuff... golly, that's just not very interesting.

A tip, though, honestly: using google counts as a basis like that? c'mon. That just makes you look silly. You should avoid that technique. Seriously.

This thread is about something else. Lets not hijack it further.

God doesn't like liars. Here's your original post.

No, it's Christians like you who have strange beliefs, like God using disease to punish non-believers.

A tip, though, honestly: using google counts as a basis like that? c'mon. That just makes you look silly. You should avoid that technique. Seriously.

LOL! The google link was to sites that show just how many of your Christian brethren believe that AIDS is God's punishment. Just like the Islamists.

This thread is about something else. Lets not hijack it further.

This thread is about the looney beliefs of God-men.

You have no idea what I believe.

Get a little into the sauce this afternoon? You're awfully fired up on this silly little point.

Actually, I don't care what you believe.

Nope. No Jesus-juice this afternoon.

I'm not the one picking the fight. You are.

Ah, yes, it's so great when "multi-cultural" people advocate for rejection of the Western scientific methods developed by Dead White Males, and instead promote "traditional healing methods" of diverse people.

This is unbelievably tragic on so many levels.

Well, that Steve Martin bit makes about as much sense as this quack cure for AIDS, anyhow.

Yeah, and I have to concur with Ramius on this one. Besides, your original point completely missed what I said. I stated that the muslims would defer to "allah's will" every time this crazy jihadi witchdoctor's "cure" failed.

You responded by rambling about some nonsense where Jerry Falwell once said AIDS was a punishment from God. That response was off subject and likely intended to provoke and inflame rather than discuss anything relevant to the subject of this article.

You post Yahya Jammeh's nonsense about curing AIDS through "God's will" and ODT posts Jerry Falwell's nonse about catching AIDS through "God's will."

And of course, your use of the phrase "crazy jihadi witchdoctor" is intended to provoke.
