Hamas Weekly: Anthrax should be put into America's drinking water

In his weekly op-ed, Dr. 'Atallah Abu Al-Subh, a columnist for the Hamas(1) weekly Al-Risala (Gaza), writes open letters to prominent figures, ideologies, and events. His most recent letter, No. 163, was titled "To Anthrax":

"The truth is that I wondered how to begin! Should I greet you [i.e. anthrax], or should I curse you? Should I hold my tongue?... I will begin by saying: Oh Anthrax, despite your wretchedness, you have sown horror in the heart of the lady of arrogance, of tyranny, of boastfulness! Your gentle touch has made the U.S.'s life rough and pointless. You have filled the lady who horrifies and terrorizes the world with fear, and her feet almost fail to bear [her weight] in horror and fear of you. Because of you, she has lost confidence in the moment in which she lives, or in which she will live."

"You have entered the most fortified of places; [you have entered] the White House and they left it like horrified mice. Up until a short time ago, this place was the address of the power of brutality, or of the brutality of power! Verily, the owner of that house said, 'Woe to any who dare even to glance at it with a hint of rage - but you have turned all this into vanity, weakness, and wretchedness.'"

"By Allah, are you really so deadly?! Do you not fear America's intercontinental missiles? Do you not fear the torpedo missiles with nuclear warheads, and cluster bombs? Do you not fear the Swift Sword [Omani-British wargames] that Britain drew forth from its scabbard to stab into the heart of our honor in Muscat [Oman's capital], with the agreement of the great sultan, who had no shame in carrying out such a deed? Do you not fear the lady of terror's destroyers, that cross the Suez canal...?"

"The Pentagon was a monster before you entered its corridors... And behold, it now transpires that its men are of paper and its commanders are of cardboard, and they hasten to flee as soon as they see - only see - chalk dust! There are those who think that I exaggerate, but I do not think so. This horror that you have sown - you, the delicate, the uncomplicated, the miserable - in the heart of the bloodsucker [the U.S.]... makes me think as I do. You do not come like a storm, but they see you as one; a terrible storm that destroys everything. They run from you in all directions and their tongues mumble, 'My life, my life.' Our hearts, repressed, exiled, and oppressed, were filled with belief that Allah is capable of defeating America by means of the weakest of his earthly soldiers, after he used you to sow horror in their hearts..."

"I swear that your story is peculiar. The Americans see you as an imminent attack that is about to shake the lady with the proboscises that suck the blood of the peoples... All [the rulers of Arab and Islamic countries] tell [the U.S.] - every time she farts, - "Allah bless you" - Nevertheless, you have found your way to only eight American breasts so far..."

"You make the U.S. appease us, and hint to us at a rosy future and a life of ease... through a [new] Marshall Plan. Why? Because of our beautiful eyes? Or out of fear that we will turn into anthrax, and harm the apple of [the U.S.'s] eye and heart, Tel Aviv...? Without permission, you enter the halls of their courthouses, as if you intended to push the symbols of their sovereignty into the mud of worry and fear..."

"In sound mind, I thank you and confess that I like you, I like you very much. May you continue to advance, to permeate, and to spread. If I may give you a word of advice, enter the air of those 'symbols,' the water faucets from which they drink, and the pens with which they draft their traps and conspiracies against the wretched peoples... Turn the bodies of the tyrants into matches burning slowly and gradually, so that they understand that the truth belongs to Allah and that they should give those entitled to rights their rights."

"Then, and only then, will you return to your place... I hope that we only hear about you when you enter the body of every base man among the arrogant and their agents. Do not enter the bodies of the wretched, like that aging nurse. Peace be upon the oppressed."(2)

Endnotes:

Can anyone explain why HAMAS is not on the top of our enemies list? These low lives must be removed. Colin Powell has put every kind of restraint on the Israelis in order to protect HAMAS and their murderers. He did this because of the stupid belief that our beloved Muslim coalition partners are so necessary to rout terror. Give the world a break, Colin. Our beloved Muslim friends are the cheerleaders for those who hate us and want to see us dead. HAMAS is the darling of everyone of the 22 Islamic step sisters. How does our president allow Israel to be muzzled? Why doesn't our president see that it is foolish to deny the Jews the right to self defense, when we demand it for ourselves. Rescue the world, let the Jews eradicate the poisonous HAMAS.

Why are we keeping up this pretense of a coalition with snakes and vipers? Face it, the Muslims hate us. No PR campaign will change it. OBL is a hero to Muslims. We are at war for civilization. Islam vs the rest of us. We had better win.

Dear Dr. Al-Subh:
Very rarely does someone so eloquently write his own death warrant.

May you rot in Hell,
The United States Of America

Everything I've seen or read indicates that anthrax is fatal if inhaled. I don't think dumping it into the water supply would be effective. If this is the best minds that Hamas has to offer then they are in more trouble than we think.

Maybe this good doctor knows about a strain that he is just now revealing? May he take a good swallow.

Actually very effective as the amount of chlorine we use is insufficient to neutralize the spores.
Fatal if ingested, just a different kind of death.

Talk about having a reality deficit. This guy is a genuine moron to even half believe this tripe from his own tongue.

Also, I not an expert, but I seriouly doubt Anthrax in the water will do anything to anybody.

I don't know if our present water purification process neutralizes anthrax, but maybe this report means we ought to start testing our water supplies for anthrax, if we are not already doing so. I believe ingested anthrax is considerably easier to treat than inhalation anthrax, by the way.

You seem to know something about the subject. How much Anthrax would be required to "poison" a water supply?

But what is obvious is that HAMAS would be and is willing to do ANYTHING to kill us. Why then is the US stopping the Jews from routing this cancer from the world? Who needs the Muslims in the coalition? They are the problem not the solution.

Face it, the Muslims hate us.

For some odd reason, the Muslims have become a political correctness protected group. If these were Christians or Jews doing any of this, everything would be much different. They killed Koresh and 80 other Seventh Day Adventists for far far less.

I believe ingested anthrax is considerably easier to treat than inhalation anthrax, by the way.

The answer to the first question has a lot of variables.
It only takes a few dozen spores to give you a case of gastrointestinal anthrax.
Given that there are billions of spores in just a few grams of the stuff, a little goes a long way.
But getting proper distribution might be difficult.
Of course boiling the water would eliminate the problem, but what a nightmare, everyone in a city like New York boiling water!

Yes, it is not difficult to treat gastrointestinal anthrax......if you recognize it.
Diahhrea, cramping, vomiting, fever.
Sounds real non-specific doesn't it?
Wait to long and you'll "wake up dead."

I have a filter on my tap that will filter-out things smaller than anthrax. This guy is a bufoon, but I expect he wont be writing such diatribes for long.

so that they understand that the truth belongs to Allah and that they should give those entitled to rights their rights

Um...maybe your OWN CORRUPT OIL-RICH Leaders are depriving you of your rights, Lord knows WE have pumped enough $$$$ into your hell-hole countries. Just Ignore the LOCAL problem and BLAME US.

Oh yeah.......how many spores would you inhale while taking a shower?
Hmmmmm, this could be a bigger problem than it first appears.
