Doctor lashes out after being convicted of growing 50,000 Cannabis plants

When the jury handed down its decision, Katelaris told them: "Regrettably the next generation will suffer from your ignorance". He later described the jury to the media as sheep. Outside court following his conviction, Katelaris said the courts and police had "behaved very poorly", while holding up a sign with the name of a pro-cannabis website.

Dems Fear Torture More Than Terrorists

ScrappleFace:
(2006-09-29) — According to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll, 89 percent of Democrats believe it’s more likely that they will personally be subjected to NSA wiretaps and CIA waterboarding, than it is that Islamic terrorists will attempt another attack on U.S. soil.

The results come in the wake of Congressional passage of President Bush’s terrorist detainee and NSA wiretap proposals designed to prevent future attacks.

“The only thing we have to fear,” said one unnamed Democrat Senator, “is Bush himself.”

The source noted that al Qaeda is not a “legitimate threat”, since the so-called terror group has mounted only one successful operation on U.S. soil in the past six years.

“In that same time, Bush has ordered many wiretaps and the CIA has tortured lots of detainees,” he said. Then he asked rhetorically, “Which one presents a clear and present danger: Bush or Bin Laden?”

The anonymous senator also noted that the al Qaeda leader’s effectiveness has been neutralized because, “Bin Laden has been virtually dead since President Clinton nearly killed him years ago.” - Scott Ott / ScrappleFace

1918 Flu Virus Reveals It's Secrets

BBC NEWS:
An experiment to reconstruct the deadly 1918 flu virus has given a new insight into how the infection took hold.

Scientists discovered a severe immune system reaction was triggered when mice were infected with the recreated virus.

The US team believes the extreme immune response could have provoked the body to begin killing its own cells, making the flu even deadlier.

The study, published in Nature, may aid the hunt for new treatments. The 1918 pandemic took about 50 million lives.

"The host's immune system may be overreacting and killing off too many cells"
-- Dr John Kash University of Washington

The devastating infection, which is thought to have originated in birds, left young adults worst hit.

Scientists in the US have reconstructed the H1N1 virus in a bid to better understand how it became such an effective killer - and to also bolster knowledge in the face of the current H5N1 bird flu threat.

The researchers infected mice with the recreated influenza virus.

Through functional genomic analysis, they discovered that the mice immune systems responded fiercely to the infection and remained active until the animals' deaths several days later.

At the same time, the animals also suffered the severe lung disease that is characteristic of the virus.

Source of Terrorism Revealed

Another great report from Scott Ott who postulates the utter lunacy behind negotiating with blood thirsty terrorists as some would have you believe.


ScrappleFace::
(2006-09-25) — A newly-leaked top-secret National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) from April 2006 reveals that America’s 16 spy agencies have finally discovered that terrorists are created by attempts to defeat terrorists.

The report concludes that recent global terrorism by Islamic fanatics was “spawned by the presence of U.S. troops in Iraq, rather than by evil, wealthy men bent on ruling the world with their hateful, pseudo-religious ideology.”

More than a dozen members of the intelligence community were interviewed for this story, but each insisted on anonymity because, as one senior CIA official said, “folks in the intel business are supposed to keep their mouths shut about classified reports, and we’d like to continue getting our fat government paychecks for essentially playing a guessing game and writing memos.”

The April NIE is a sequel to the pre-war intelligence estimate that documented Saddam Hussein’s stockpiles of chemical weapons and his clandestine nuclear program, so it is considered highly credible by those who oppose the Bush administration’s current Iraq policy.

“Bush operates on the flawed assumption that you can defeat terrorists in Iraq and elsewhere by killing them,” said one unnamed expert familiar with the report, “but, in fact, we’ve learned that killing them actually creates them. It’s like that broomstick scene from The Sorcerer’s Apprentice‘. You chop one in half and then you’ve got two crazy animated broomsticks.”

The source said that CIA decryption analysts are now convinced that “the solution to stopping global terrorism lies in finding the ’secret word’ to break the spell and to turn these anti-Western, anti-Semitic, blood-thirsty religious fanatics into our partners in peace.”

The intelligence sources contacted for this story all refused to comment on the genesis of the terrorists who repeatedly attacked civilian and military targets in the decades leading up to the second Iraq war.

“That’s not relevant to the current debate,” said one analyst. “It’s important that we not become distracted by historical perspective. --- satritical reporter Scott Ott/ScrappleFace
Satire aside, one has to wonder about the effectiveness of a diplomatic process that sees Israel and Palestine still at each other's throats after six decades of U. N. resolutions. Did you note how quicly Hamas dismissed President Abbas of Palistine's remarks and assertions to President Bush as he promised to GWB that Hamas would eventually recognize the Israel state this past week? U.N. diplomacy is an utter joke and it should be evicted from poluting the shores of the United States since the countless BILLIONS of dollars in aid over the years to developing nations has all but been forgotted by the Chavez crazed third world.

These ingrate radical 3rd world leaders are slapping us across our faces while our tax dollars over the years, and the wealth we have built as a nation under the principles of tolerace and individual freedom, is being exploited, and corrupted I might add, by the likes of the Hugo Chavez's of the world. Gratitude...? Maybe during the 60's or even 70's. Today? Please... it has all been conviently forgotten. If there was ever a major humanitarian disaster in Venezuala, or any Latin American nation, the U.S. would be the first to respond. Billions have been provided in aid and business opportunites. Now... with this guy in power seeking to spread his venom in Latin America? The ovation for Hugo Chavez speaks volumes. It's often said, "No good turn goes unpunished." We hope our Latin American friends all find the courage to rise up and overthrow this raving, Castro wanna be, lunatic. Not for America but for themselves and their own freedom !!

Chavez: Bush will Kill Me

The Australian::
VENEZUELAN President Hugo Chavez accused his American counterpart George W. Bush overnight of ordering his assassination for calling the US leader the devil during his speech at the United Nations this week.

"The devil appears very sulphurous, and a few people say that he has given the order to kill me," Chavez said during a speech before scientists in western Venezuela.

"Many concerned friends have called me, (saying) that because I said 'devil' over there (at the UN), they have sentenced me to die. They will not kill me, I have much faith in life," Mr Chavez added.

The leftist Venezuelan leader called Mr Bush "the devil", "a liar" and a "tyrant" during his speech at the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, one day after the US President spoke from the same podium.

Mr Chavez again showed a copy of Hegemony or Survival overnight, a book by US academic Noam Chomsky that he had first held up during his address to the UN assembly.

He said he had to wash the book "with holy water because I put it in the same place that the devil put his papers."
You might recall it was first Pat Robertson who was calling for this guy's assasination several months ago... how prophet a statement!

Bin Laden Feasting with Virgins or Burning in Hell?

Bert wants to know! Could Osama bin Laden be feasting with virgins or burning in hell alongside that sulfur smell detected at the U.N. podium last week? Could the world of infidels be so lucky that Osama bin Laden has been smitten by the will of Allah taking the form of typhoid fever? If so you can thank the relentless coalition forces and GW and Tony Blair bloodhounding him into dark stank caves. The epitome of irony is that the lowest lifeform on the planet, Osama bin Laden, may have been taken out by the second lowest lifeform, the Salmonella Typhi bacterium. Maybe due to a bad chicken salad sandwich? Hopefully he died in a filthy cave invested with vermin and swine. We expect more on this story as our satirical reporters begin to pound the cyber beat for more breaking news..!
TIME.com: Is Bin Laden Dead? -- Page 1: "Fugitive Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, believed to be on the run in rugged terrain in the Afghan-Pakistani border region since the September 11 attacks five years ago, has become seriously ill and may have already died, a Saudi source tells TIME, echoing earlier reports in the French media.

The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, says that Saudi officials have received multiple credible reports over the last several weeks that Bin Laden has been suffering from a water-borne illness. The source believes that there is a 'high probability' that Bin Laden has already died from the disease, but stressed that Saudi officials have thus far received no concrete evidence of Bin Laden's death.

'This is not a rumor,' says the source. 'He is very ill. He got a water-related sickness and it could be terminal. There are a lot of serious facts about things that have actually happened. There is a lot to it. But we don't have any concrete information to say that he is dead.'" More...

BaconBlaster - Terrorist Detector and Repellant

We came accross this web site today and we still can't get up off the floor from laughing...

BaconBlaster::
REPEL DEMENTED BOMBERS USING BACON OIL AND SCENT
Swinophobia, the fear of pigs, is a mental disorder that most terrorists have. A healthy blast of BaconBlaster will send them into a panic. The fear of being defiled for life will send them running. If you don't feel comfortable producing a large blast, give a discreet puff and display the label. This will still produce results.

BaconBlaster is a fragrant blast of pig fat molecules, bacon scent and water that causes terrorists to seek spiritual counseling, but is completely harmless for the average user and does not stain clothing. BaconBlaster is a convenient 4 oz. aerosol bottle that fits neatly into a purse or pocket.

Farrakhan Says He Is Seriously Ill

Minister Louis Farrakhan said in a letter to followers this month that he is seriously ill, and he asked the Nation of Islam's leaders to carry on in his absence to make sure the movement "will live long after I and we have gone." Farrakhan, 73, said he began suffering pain earlier this year similar to 1998, when he was diagnosed with prostate ...

New Combo "Mob Rage" Burning Flags

Clearly seeing a market niche, enterprising Iranian business men have created a new concept in mob outrage technology. Combo Mob Rage Burning Flags. These flags are specially designed with the enraged protester in mind. Made of the finest petrol absorbant fibers, these flags are guaranteed to light and stay lit once dowsed with the proper amount of flame accelerant. Lighter fluid, or camel fat, can also used so as to lower the risk of spilling large amounts of gasoline on any innocent by standers.

The design of the new flags represent a reflection of the efficiency of the radical Islamic culture and their concern about the environment. Why purchase and burn three flags when you can burn one!

Truely an example of yet another significant contribution to mankind from that part of the world brought to you by the Religion of Perpetual Outrage. Ranking near the top with othersignificant social advances such as efficient body disposal, and perfecting the art of minimizing blood damage to expensive carpeting, this new advance in mob outrage technology has patents pending. Beware of imitations!

GOP Funds Ahmadinejad-Chavez Speaking Tour

The U.N. is expanding it's role on the world stage by promoting a series of extended world tours for the most charismatic of leaders as measured by the U.N. General Assembly's patented "Applause-O-Meter". According to the results on the General Assembly floor yesterday, both Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have won the bragging rights to be the first charismatic leaders to participate on the tour. First country up: the U.S. The renouned speaker, Mr. Chavez was alerted this morning while in his own press conference in Spanish Harlem promoting his upcoming lecture tour to presuade American Latinos of their folly for emigrating to the United States when all the true freedoms and desires can be realized in Caracas Venezuela.

The frustrated Sammy Sosa wanna be was spotted in front of a crowd on 135th St. blessing himself when told of the good news, just as he did yesterday when stepping up to the plate, err... podium making the same religious gesture to ward off evil spirits and that sulfur stench he was complaining about. (Let's give GWB a break, they did serve egg salad for lunch!) His collegue that charismatic man of stature, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, turned his eyes away from witnessing the gesture, which was almost as frightening as the thought of his attending the same luncheon where wine was being served. (Not his favorite brand of Shiraz we suspect.) Mahmoud entourage said he did all he could restraining himself from burning down the nearest embassy in outrage and calling for the beheading of the U.N. master chef. The story below, from satirical reporter Scott Ott over at ScrappleFace, outlines the itinerary of these two lucky winners...

ScrappleFace

(2006-09-21) — The Republican National Committee (RNC) today offered to fund a coast-to-coast U.S. speaking tour featuring Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, in the weeks leading up to November’s Congressional elections.

The offer comes in the wake of two days of public remarks by the two foreign leaders before the United Nations, the Council on Foreign Relations and U.S. news media. Their diplomatic pronouncements included…
– denying the Holocaust,
– calling the U.S. president “the devil“,
– praying at the U.N. for the return of Islam’s fabled 12th Imam,
– praising Cuban dictator Fidel Castro,
– insisting any nation has the right to develop nuclear technology,
– portraying the United States as the locus of evil in the modern world, and
– plugging Noam Chomsky’s book “Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance.”

“President Bush can talk about his national security plan and foreign policy all day long,” said an unnamed RNC spokesman, “But no one makes a more compelling case than the duo of Mahmoud and Hugo. We want to make sure every American has an opportunity to hear these important world leaders.”

The Republican source said sponsoring the pre-election Ahmadinejad-Chavez speaking tour was also a way of “reaching across the aisle to help our colleagues in the Democrat party to get their message out, so the American voter can make an informed decision.” -- as reported by satirist Scott Ott / ScrappleFace"

Thanks for the update Scott. Make sure you all get a front row seat when the show comes to a bodega near you.

Genocide and Indiscriminate Killing

Mark Fiore's animated cartoon, "The Delaying Game", could not have been more timely given the invasion of New York's East Side by Iran and Venezuala. With all eyes on these two characters, Chavez and Amadinajhad, the horrific genocide in the Sudan / Darfur is cleverly kept off the world stage by U.N. leadership, once again exposing the U.N. for what it is, a glorified debating club which should in fact be moved to someplace remote and neutral, like the Azores.

Official Oman Site: "Islam Was Spread by Use of Fear"

While Pope Benedict figures out how to jump through hoops to appease the Religion of Perpetual Outrage, one can find plenty of historical evidence supporting the medievel Emporer he quoted last week. For instance... Take a read of quoted text from the web site for the Sultan of Oman's Foreign Ministry... Sounds like the same message given to President Bush earlier this year by the Iranian Wizard of Oz. It is mandatory that the offer of conversion is made to the enemy before they are vanquished. It is time for level headed dialogue with the Muslim leaders of Western Nations. The world conflict IS about a conflict of cultures and religious beliefs and make no mistake about it, it is also about Israel and it's right to exist as a state in the Middle East. -- Hat tip: LGF

lgf: :
The web site for the Sultanate of Oman’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be run by bigoted Islamophobic crusaders, because their history section contains an outrageously Islamophobic (i.e. truthful) description of Islam’s reign of fear and persecution in the Gulf: Oman during Islam.

After God empowered Muslims to enter Mecca, Islam became the prevailing power and was spread by use of fear. This was particularly evident in the tribe of Quraysh, who had responded to the Prophet Muhammad’s new message of Islam with unrelenting persecution, eventually putting its resources in the service of the ever growing new religion. The Prophet then saw it preferable to contact neighbouring kings and rulers, including the two kings of Oman, Jaiffar and Abd, sons of Al Julanda, through peaceful means. History books tell us that the prophet had sent messages to the people of Oman, including a letter carried by military escort from Amr Inn Al Aas to Jaiffar and Abd, sons of Al Julanda, in which he wrote: ‘In the name of God the Merciful and the Compassionate, from Muhammad bin Abdullah to Jaiffar and Abd, sons of Al Julanda, peace be on those who choose the right path. Embrace Islam, and you shall be safe. I am God’s messenger to all humanity, here to alert all those alive that non believers are condemned. If you submit to Islam, you will remain kings, but if you abstain, your rule will be removed and my horses will enter your arena to prove my prophecy’.

Tiger Woods Angry at Fake Nude Photos

Tiger Woods is under a bit of stress leading up to the Ryder Cup match and it has nothing to do with his golf game. Seems like Photoshop has struck again and it has Woods emotionally upset about doctored nude photos of his model wife Elin appearing in the media. Real or unreal, this controversy is sure to be played up by MSM during the tourney.

"Tiger Woods has spoken out after fake pornographic pictures of wife Elin were published on the internet and picked up by an Irish magazine and UK newspaper.

The world number one is in Ireland to play in the Ryder Cup, which starts at the K Club on Friday.

'It's unacceptable and I don't want it to detract from this event,' he said.

'It's hard to be diplomatic about this. My wife is an extension of me. We do things together and I care about her with all my heart.'

Former bikini model Elin, 26, was said to be 'upset' and 'embarrassed' by the fake pictures.

Woods added: 'I know the media can be a little bit difficult at times.

'But it's hard to be very diplomatic about this when you have so much emotion involved, when my wife is involved like this." More...

Is the entire hoopla just a case of mistaken identity? Tabloid Rabies seems to think so! Check the photos out there and on Google Images Elin Woods nude and you be the judge !!

Anonymous Browser Debuts - Torpark Tool

This browser claims to be the first free browser for annoyance surfing. We have not tried it nor tested it yet. It can be loaded in a flash memory stick and inserted into any PC and it will allow you to do full anonymous surfing which masks the IP address from which you are surfing. Is it work safe??? Who knows? It will be interesting to hear the feedback...


Web users worried about privacy can now use a modified version of Firefox that lets them browse the net anonymously.

The Torpark browser has been created by a hacking group and uses technology backed by digital rights group the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Torpark uses its own network of net routers to anonymise the traffic people generate when they browse the web. The browser can be put on a flash memory stick so users can turn any PC into an anonymous terminal.

The Torpark tool has been created by Hacktivismo - an international coalition of hackers, human rights workers, lawyers and artists. Torpark uses the Tor network of internet routers set up by the Electronic Frontier Foundation that already has tens of thousands of regular users.

Whenever any computer connects to the net it freely shares information about the address it is using. This is so any data it requests is sent back to the right place. The Tor network tries to stop this information being shared in two ways. First, it encrypts traffic between a computer and the Tor network of routers - this makes it much harder to spy on the traffic and pinpoint who is doing what.

Second, the Tor network regularly changes the net address that someone appears to be browsing from - again this frustrates any attempt to pin a particular browsing session on any individual.

"We live in a time where acquisition technologies are cherry picking and collating every aspect of our online lives," said Oxblood Ruffin, one of the founders of Hacktivismo, in a statement announcing Torpark. More...

Chirac Looses His Mind

Chirac has now stated that Iran should NOT be refered to the Security Council for sanctions even though it is currently consistently violating prior UN resolutions. This is a man you has clearly lost his mind. The opitomy of dhimmitude!

French president Jacques Chirac has spoken out against imposing UN sanctions on Iran for its reluctance to suspend uranium enrichment and in favour of starting talks with the country before any pre-conditions are met.

"I don't believe in a solution without dialogue," Mr Chirac said in a rare interview with the French Europe-1 radio on Monday (18 September).

He stated that he had "never seen that sanctions were very effective," adding that he was "not pessimistic" over the prospect of a compromise deal with the "great nation" of Iran.

"We must first find an agenda for negotiations, then during these negotiations I suggest that, on the one hand, the six [the US, the UK, France, Germany, China and Russia] renounce involving the security council and Iran renounces uranium-enrichment during the negotiations," the French president said.

This is a man who is clearly subserviant to the Iranian political agenda and borders on questionable political sanity along with the President of Iran. Once again true to form, a French leader chooses appeasement instead of sanations and global containment of a rising enemy and threat to European freedom and culture. No lessons learned from 1940 sorry to say -- it must be a genetic thing.

McCain Confident Of Compromise

The buzz is that John McCain has brokered a compromise that will create the right balance between morality and the extraction of critical information from captured terrorists and prisoners in the War on Terror. A number of leaders in the GOP have taken exception to the President's point of view and 2008 Presidential hopeful, Senator McCain, may have made progress this evening on Capitol Hill in brokering a compromise.

AP:
DANBURY, Conn. -- U.S. Sen. John McCain said today that he is confident a compromise can be reached with the White House on proposed rules for interrogating terror suspects.

"We are certainly making progress and I'm hopeful we can get it completed soon," McCain said, while campaigning in Danbury for U.S. Rep. Nancy Johnson, R-Conn.

McCain, a former prisoner of war, did not elaborate on how an agreement can be achieved on whether to allow highly controversial methods by the CIA, such as electric shock, forced nakedness and waterboarding, in which a subject is made to think he is drowning. The Bush administration says those techniques have foiled terror plots. Opponents say they verge on torture.

The full Senate was expected to take up the issue as early as this week.

McCain, as well as Senate Armed Services Chairman John Warner, R-Va., and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., have said that would redefine the broader legal understanding of the Geneva Conventions in the international community.

Sorry Pope Considers Sainthood for Muhammad

ScrappleFace:
(2006-09-18) — A day after violent Muslim riots spurred Pope Benedict XVI to apologize for implying that Islam has brought more evil to the world, the Pontiff today agreed to consider a petition to add the name of Islam’s founder to the pantheon of Roman Catholic saints.

A Vatican spokesman said that, as part of the Holy Father’s self-imposed penance to atone for his ill-advised remarks about Muhammad, he has given permission for the Roman Catholic church to investigate canonizing the founder of one of the world’s three great monotheistic religions.

Vatican researchers said the application is already being processed and they need only find one more verifiable after-death miracle attributed to Muhammad.

“The first is indisputable,” a Vatican source said, “We already have ample evidence that the long-dead prophet miraculously caused a major religious leader, with a reputation for infallibility, to apologize for telling the truth.”

Nun Murdered after Muslims Condemn Pope's Remarks

An Italian nun who had spent most of her life helping sick people was murdered today by Muslims in Somalia retaliating for Pope Benedict's remarks about the violent nature of Islam!! Let's see now, we all need to get this straight. One man (the Pope) makes a statement about the violent nature of Islam and an innocent charitable person is then murdered in protest of the Pope's statement. How does this help the image of Islam in the West? Islamic moderate religious leaders need to find some courage to speak out in public and deplore this kind of response. Why don't you find this happening? They are in fact afraid of being murdered themselves!!

Muslim Pope Rage

More outrage over the Pope's comments calling for his beheading!!! Recall that the "Holy War" aka "Jihad" had already been declared upon all faiths Jews, Christians, Hindu, by the Jihadists. Islam might be better characterized as Michelle Milkin puts it "The Religion of Perpetual Outrage" ! Recall all this hoopla was the result of his pointing out that the fundamental precepts of Islam and Jihad was "conversion by use of the sword". The world's dhimitudes remain in a state of suspended animation as it looks for deeper holes for which to bury their heads.

The script in red calls for the Pope's beheading. The rest of the translation:

"Swine and servant of the cross, worships a monkey on a cross, hateful evil man, stoned Satan, may Allah curse him, blood-sucking vampire."


You won't see this run in the New York time! This is a photo that is circulating in AlQuaeda friendly chat rooms and web sites!!

Meanwhile, reporters bend over backwards to downplay any possibility that practitioners of the Religion of Perpetual Outrage had anything to do with yesterday's church bombings in Gaza:

Excerpt from the Jerusalem Post:

A small explosion caused minor damage Friday in a courtyard outside a Greek Orthodox church in Gaza City, church workers said. The early morning blast appeared to have been caused by a small, homemade explosive device, which damaged a door and caused minor damage to the floor and walls, church workers said. No one was wounded.

A second explosion hit the church hours later and a concussion grenade was thrown near the church in the afternoon. Neither of those blasts caused any damage, but church officials worried that the attacks were retaliation for remarks that Pope Benedict XVI made Tuesday that angered Muslims.

"This is the first time this has ever happened to our church," said the church's priest, Rev. Artinious Alexious. "We don't know why they have done this. We are Greek Orthodox and have no relation to the Pope." -- The Jerusalem Post

Majority Of Americans Unprepared For Apocalypse

Over 87 percent of Americans are unprepared to protect themselves from even the most basic world-ending scenarios. Less than one million American households have taken even the simplest precautions against nuclear shockwaves, asteroid impact, or a host of angels bearing swords of fire, the study concluded.
Dude.... if it is a world ending scenerio what the hell is the point of protecting oneself?

Bush Rejects Colin Powell's Advice & Pushes for Terror Legislation

Warning that "time's running out" for Congress to act, President Bush urged lawmakers today to pass legislation that would create special military tribunals to try terrorist suspects and allow the CIA to continue a program in which captured al-Qaeda leaders have been held and interrogated in clandestine prisons abroad

Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell Detainee Policy

ScrappleFace:
(2006-09-16) — The Senate Armed Services committee this week will consider a bill designed to break the impasse with the Bush administration over the interrogation of terrorist detainees.

The new approach, dubbed ‘Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell’ by supporters, would sidestep thorny questions about compliance with Geneva Convention Common Article III, and “get the Central Intelligence Agency out of the intrusive business of prying into people’s personal lives,” according to the text of the proposed measure.

Four Republican senators on the panel, who have worked to block the president’s request for greater authority to extract intelligence data from terror suspects, are said to be open to considering the new protocol which would also prevent the CIA or the military from violating the separation of church and state.

“A terrorist detainee’s role in Islam’s jihad against the west is an inherently religious topic,” said one unnamed senate aide, “I believe it’s one of the five pillars of Islam. Questions about another human’s religious beliefs are what the Geneva Conventions call ‘outrages upon human dignity’.”

Republican Senators John McCain, Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham and Armed Services Committee Chairman John Warner have indicated they might support such a compromise measure, the source said, “especially if it would improve America’s image among the people who have committed their own lives to our destruction.”

“It would put the burden of moral responsibility on the enemy,” he said. “Ultimately, we believe it will win the hearts and minds of violent Muslim extremists so they will abandon their suicidal obsession with destroying the Great Satan and his minions.”

Pope Sorry After ‘Evil’ Muhammad Quote

ScrappleFace:
(2006-09-15) — Pope Benedict XVI today apologized for using a quotation in a recent speech that has offended Muslim leaders by implying that the religion of Muhammad has brought little good to the world, and much evil.

Speaking at a German university this week, the Pontiff quoted a Byzantine emperor, who said, “Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”

However, upon his return to the Vatican a contrite Mr. XVI today said, “I’m sorry if I gave the wrong impression about what Muhammad has done for the world. I was just quoting the old emperor. But upon further reflection, I was reminded of the mighty civilizations that Islam has spawned, and I marveled at their profound contribution to humanity.”

The Pope listed some of the best known predominantly-Muslim nations — Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh.

“Reciting the names of these Muslim lands makes me even more sorry,” he added.

A leading Muslim cleric in Baghdad welcomed the apology as he declared a Fatwa calling for the brutal execution of the 79 year-old Pontiff whom he referred to as “an infidel puppet of the Zionist pig baboons.”

Al Qaeda Follows Senate Lead on Humane Treatment

Scott Ott over at ScrappleFace brings his insight into Al-Quaeda's reaction to the recent discussions in Congress related to prisoner treatment and adherence to the Geneva convention.

ScrappleFace:
(2006-09-15) — Just a day after the Senate Armed Services committee rebuffed the Bush administration’s efforts to allow aggressive interrogation techniques on captured terror suspects, a spokesman for al Qaeda praised the committee’s 15-9 vote and said it would, in turn, make its prisoner treatment protocols more humane.

“We were inspired by the humanitarianinfidels in the Senate to update our own procedures,” said the unnamed al Qaeda spokesman in an audiotape released through Al Jazeera’s CNN news division. “We have approved a three-step plan aimed at improving our humanitarian image around the world.”

According to the source, al Qaeda has already issued the following new guidelines to its terror cells worldwide via overnight donkey courier:
1) Avoid taking prisoners.
2) Use a sharp sword and a brisk side-to-side motion.
3) Grant a speedy trial after beheading.

Republican Senators John McCain of Arizona, John Warner of Virginia and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who spearheaded the effort to block the president’s proposal, welcomed the al Qaeda announcement as “a positive and hopeful step toward full moral equivalency between the warring superpowers.”

The Pope's View of Jihad

Will the Pope begin to openly condemn the Islamic radical clerics? This excerpt from his recent speech in Germany may be a warm up! Go, Pope Benny Go!!

BBC :
I was reminded of all this recently, when I read... of part of the dialogue carried on - perhaps in 1391 in the winter barracks near Ankara - by the erudite Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Paleologus and an educated Persian on the subject of Christianity and Islam, and the truth of both.

In the seventh conversation...the emperor touches on the theme of the holy war. Without descending to details, such as the difference in treatment accorded to those who have the "Book" and the "infidels", he addresses his interlocutor with a startling brusqueness on the central question about the relationship between religion and violence in general, saying: "Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."

The emperor, after having expressed himself so forcefully, goes on to explain in detail the reasons why spreading the faith through violence is something unreasonable. Violence is incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the soul. "God," he says, "is not pleased by blood - and not acting reasonably is contrary to God's nature. Faith is born of the soul, not the body. Whoever would lead someone to faith needs the ability to speak well and to reason properly, without violence and threats." -- Pope Benedict XVI speaking at the University of Regensburg, Germany
