Another group of traders to have felt the Islamists' unexpected wrath is Baghdad's ice merchants, who sell large chunks of ice for storing food and chilling drinks. In a city facing constant power cuts and summer temperatures of up to 50C (122F), the service they provide is little short of essential. Yet in recent weeks, they too have fallen foul of the claim that their product was not a feature of life during Mohammed's time

how the hell do people put with this crazy s****

"Those in the fight need unconditional support."
I second your opinion. However, one can appreciate the frustrations of many.

Gotta hit the sack. Have to get up at 4:40AM or so to make it to work by 6am. Moan. I am not used to shifts that can change on the fly, and have not been an early morning person since the 50's. Nighty night.

---A bunch of these Satan worshippers stopped a tennis coach and two of his players -- in tennis clothes in a taxi on their way from practice -- and shot them dead. ---

For being so religious they sure murder and lie a lot.

Seems to me they can either submit or fight back. They may die if they fight back, but unless they do, what they are is slaves.

Incidently, where in the Koran does it say a muslim brother can kill another for how he wears his beard or what kind of sandwich he eats? Aren't muslims prohibited from killing fellow believers?

"there were no falafels in Mohammed the prophet's time"

Neither were there guns or explosives. Please turn them in at the nearest police station.

Somebody who is not following Islam (by the definition of the person holding the gun) is not a "real" Muslim, and may be killed as being an apostate

Eventually they will all kill each other off for not being Islamic enough.

Isn't there any backlash over there? Who would want to live like that?

The general Iraqi public should turn against these nuts.

Time to arm the falafel and ice vendors. Tell them not to wait for the shooters to arrive -- go anead and terminate the ones making threats in the name of Shaitan ("Allah")...

I always think the common public should rebel,too. But when you think about really doing it it is not so slick. These are regular people with feelings. Who wants to go out and get instantly killed by saying or doing something. When you think about it on a personal, minute by minute scale you realize how incredibly brave those who stand up for rights are. And what kind of cowardly scum do this to a society.

Well, if we can just get the Islamists to apply the "it didn't exist in Mohammed's time" to which armaments are permissible to use, we're home free.

What they need to do is ID the sunnofabitch that threatened them, follow all of them back to their lair, and attack.

Take the fight to them, let them know tha their knuckle headed ideas are ignorant, and they will pay a price for it. Suddenly, they'll be buying Subaru's

I love falafel. There was an Egyptian place in Amsterdam that my mother and I went to three times. Wow!

What was her last name? And why did you take your mother, for God's sake!

It might be true that a little more killing it needed, but it's not that easy. Insurgents have been hard to spot. Intelligence has not been able to find the culprits of many suicide bombings. And insurgents might be getting help from infiltrates in the police, thus making it harder for us to find and eliminate them.

That's exactly right! That would also mean the end to any type of bombing involving a car, truck, etc. In fact any mode of locomotion other than camel, donkey, or walking,by a follower of Islam would be expressly forbidden and make any transgressor subject to immediate execution.

Remember, too that if you wear the wrong colors in the wrong neighborhood in LA that you will be shot for it. You've offended the "religion" of the "owners" of that turf, their gang affiliation.
