But they say their father says their mother worships Satan.

They should listen to their father. He's a wise man.

No music and no images of living beings-no wonder that Islam lacks imagination that propelled the Western Civilization to greater heights, no wonder Islam has spend last 1400 years devolving.

Poontang is a powerful persuasive tool.

Stupid and illiterate losers, but now they're dangerous.

[gcruse]

I was wondering if this would happen, especially
if a lot of disaffected blacks in America would convert.

I would have thought the opposite.
I would have been wrong.

Many say the events of Sept. 11 only confirmed their commitment. Shannon Staloch is not sure why, but upon hearing of the hijackings, she immediately grabbed a book from her backpack and recited the Arabic declaration of belief; she made the conversion official 12 days later.

Well sure... see, she's probably some anti-American nut, saw some group she could really identify with and signed up. Just as our own military has seen increased recruitment of brave young men and women willing to fight for our country, we have this moronic young woman signing up with the terrorist sympathizers to fight against our country.

One of the greatest benefits of this whole situation, if you can see any benefits at all, is that the REAL wackos infesting our population are making themselves known. There's is now a stark contrast, whereas beforehand, they had some success in blending in and at least appearing to be "normal" while they were spouting all their anti-American rhetoric.

Like other cults, Islam will pick up membership
among defectives of many sorts among our society.

Any American who willingly joins the enemy
ranks is defective.  How on earth can there
be so many?  The flip side of patriotism is
suicide.

Velvet posters? Shades of Elvis and matadors!

Islam, the kitschy, kitschy coup.

[gcruse]

This is starting to sound like the great falling away.
Good bye, Ms. Davis. Good luck on Judgement Day!

I does sound like that, dunnit?  I tell ya, I got
my Jesus stamps out and I'm pasting like crazy.

[gcruse]

no wonder Islam has spend last 1400 years devolving.

You're right.  They needed a Reformation that never came.

[Timesink]

On Judgment Day, as much as I love my kids, they won't be there with me."

Quite true, honey, but not in the way you think.

Not carved out and wrapped in burlap, it ain't.

You would think the spouting would have been a tipoff.  Wait,
what am I saying?  Hell, that's how liberals always talk.

[Hank Rearden]

Hmmmm, I guess it really is a stupid, violent cult for morons, as I suspected.

[timestax]

started peeing on the floor too, I bet. What a dork!

[BunnySlippers]

She "picks up Islam" in an Internet chat room ... sounds flaky.

Heh.  Good catch.  You gotta watch out
for toilet seats, too.

[Skywalk]

LOL no, but my guess is the guys who found these women so attractive that they wanted to marry them, did not experience burlap or excised labia and clitori.

[gcruse]

Jeez, it sets my teeth on edge, even when trying not to think about it. The only guy with a decent sex life has to be the shepherd.
