		<description>Jamal,

&quot;There is a hadith that says something along the lines of; â€œthe kafirs will not be contented until you give up your religion and become like themâ€. &quot;

That maybe be a hadith but I know that that is an ayat of the Quran.</description>

Did you hear about that chimp who could paint... can&#039;t remember where he was now. Are you competing with him? :D

&lt;i&gt;It was the Mujahideen who declared war against America Sunny, or had you forgotten?&lt;/i&gt;

		<description>It was the Mujahideen who declared war against America Sunny, or had you forgotten? And Al-Hack, i really don&#039;t know the numbers. How many have been killed by the Mujahideen i wonder? Yet they are still called &#039;Mujahideen&#039;...And it&#039;s not just in Iraq is it? How many have died in Darfur? There&#039;s nothing holy about what they are doing.  Sorry for sneering at the selective outrage. Maybe you could tell me explain it to me after you&#039;ve explained why i should take seriously anybody who refers to Crusaders &amp; Zionists in the same sentence.</description>

		<description>Bijna,

&quot;On the other hand, Muslims consider non-Muslims haram, like pigs, dogs and camel piss.&quot;

Really? Where is your proof for that?  Oh thats right you dont have any, and so goes the understanding of Islam of Bijna. 

How can another human being be haram? Nevermind I know you were just speaking rhetorically.</description>

No they just want to travel by train without blowing up
and make children books with friendly drawings.

		<description>The Crusades started after the Battle of Manzikert to defend Byzantium from the Seljuks. Sadly the Crusaders were incompetent and the Christians in Turkey and Albania have been wiped out.

As long as McDonalds serves Happy Meals, there will be no new Crusades. So if I were you, check McDonalds every day.</description>

		<description>Sid, 

You know I&#039;m not picky, but I remembered the crusade remark as being an unscripted, spontaneous gaffe, and a little light googling shows most commentators referring to aides as &#039;aghast&#039; etc. I don&#039;t claim to be authoritive on this, I think that was Georgie trying out a long word all by himself.

The best team of writers in the world still have to work with material like this;

		<description>&lt;i&gt;â€˜Say Bismillah and swallow itâ€&lt;/i&gt;

Sid, this is not possible, not to me anyhow.

There is a hadith that says something along the lines of; &quot;the kafirs will not be contented until you give up your religion and become like them&quot;.  

I seek not to make such people happy.</description>

		<description>The fact is: given two current wars based on dodgy evidence and the way the American govt has suddenly declared the mujahadein as enemies no. 1 after being best buddies for years, may get some people to consider the invasion of Iraq as an extension of a long history of Western govt meddling in the Middle East. Words have different connotations for different people.

So just because they use the word American crusader when describing the government doesn&#039;t mean automatically they&#039;re terrorist nutters. Delve a bit deeper into their thinking rather than just picking out words that offend you.</description>
