What? Doesn’t the koran tell them how to divide the loot?

You get the impression that “loot division” was a contributing cause?

I guess he needed to be more gentle with his irrigations.

Couldn’t he just have turned him in and got the reward?

Loot division? These guys are nothing more than common criminals.
To: nuconvert
I presume he and his crew were shaking down farmers by threatening to wreck their irrigation systems unless they forked over dough/recruits for Al-Qaeda.
Hence "irrigation minister."

Loot division? These guys are nothing more than common criminals. Keep in mind that they belong to a religion founded by a man whose profession was that of a bandit specializing in robbing caravans.

Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold
I love my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, I grabbed that gold
And I left his dead ass there by the side of the road

Shades of the old Soviet empire. For all their philosophizing and high-sounding ideals and words of universal solidarity and worker's freedom, they were really nothing more than corrupt and bloated union thugs out to rip off their constituents.

Sounds as if he got irrigated himself.

I have a simple question: If someone who is an illegal shows up to get a driver’s license, why wouldn’t we just arrest and deport them and how in a debate between 7? people and two moderators did nobody bring that fact up?
It is a testament to how far removed from reality the Dems. are.

“I presume he and his crew were shaking down farmers by threatening to wreck their irrigation systems unless they forked over dough/recruits for Al-Qaeda.”
I think that’s probably a pretty accurate job description
