Iraq President's Letter to America
In which he says "Thanks, don't leave."
"It's all about the bacon." Jesus Christ, Lamb, The Gospel According to Biff. "THEY'RE ON OUR RIGHT, THEY'RE ON OUR LEFT, THEY'RE IN FRONT OF US, THEY'RE BEHIND US: THEY CAN'T GET AWAY FROM US THIS TIME." "Chesty" Puller at the Chosin Reservoir. “Come on you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?!” Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daly at the WWI battle of Belleau Wood.
Oh, Jesus save me. We're almost done with the Book O' Crap.
"I have only created Jinns and men that they may serve me." Surah 51:56Yeah, well, fuck you. Find someone else.
"Let them produce a saying like it -- if it be they speak the truth." Surah 52:34.There it is. Mohammed's dare. Too bad the Psalmist kicked his ass many centurites before. Produce a Surah like it. Indeed. What an ass, Mohammed was.
How is it with you that you spend not in the cause of Allah? For to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. Not equal among you are those who spent freely and fought, for the victory with those who did later. Those are higher in rank than those who spent freely and fought before the victory. Thore are higher in rank than those who spent and fought afterwards. But to all Allah has promised a goodly reward. Syra 57:10
For those who give in charity, men and women, and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan, it shall be increased manifold to their credit, and thay shall have besides a generous reward. Sura 57:18Sounds to me like someone was short of cash.
We sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, and bestowed on Him the Gospel. Sura 57:27Ol' Mo has no idea what "the Gospel" means. He thinks it's a book. It ain't. It's a greek word that means "the good news." What's the Good News? God become one of us, suffered what we suffer, did so sinlessly, and then died to pay the price for sins that, not He, but we commit. Then He rose, to show us what is offered us if we believe.
And remember, Jesus, the Son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah sent to you, confirming the Taurat, which came before me, and give glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs they said, "This is evident sorcery!"Sura 61:6No he didn't. Not one of the four Gospels records anything like this.
And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orpan and the captive, saying, "We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: no reward do we desire from you or thanks. We only fear a Day of frowning and distress from the side of our Lord!" Sura 76:8-10Okay, let me see if I understand. Help the poor, but not because of any compassion toward them, but out of fear, and don't let them thank you. Is that it? Not really very inspiring. Seems to this way of looking at the "transaction," which is what this view really makes it, is that the poor are objectified into some sort of "bad-karma stopping" thing, rather than a human being who should be helped because, as Jesus said (though, oddly, the Koran doesn't record this), "When you helped the least of these you did that to me." Those are vastly different views and inspirations for right action.
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes Good from Evil. It is not a thing for amusement! Sura 86:13-14Well, I hope you've been amused. I certainly have been.
A group statement by a gaggle of Muslim "clerics" says the "pope, and all infidels, should know that no Muslim, under any circumstances, can tolerate an insult to the Prophet (Muhammad). ... If the West does not change its stance regarding Islam, it will face severe consequences," it said.
It irks me to no end that ths major media and even Christian outlets refer to the delirious warlord Mohammed as a "prophet." He was no such thing. Prophets do not get wrong major theological points. Mohammed said (1) Jesus was not crucified; (2) Jesus was not resurrected; and (3) Jesus was not the Son of God.
Here's what the Pope quoted from a medieval theologian/emperor:
Jerusalem -- AP
Go ahead! You can do it. Just look at some of the posts below for "parables" from the Koran, and then make up your own! A parable is a concise, fictional story with a moral meaning, sometimes skillfully hidden. But NOT IN THE KORAN! Heck, in the Koran a parabnle can be just about any stupid thing!
The way of those who do not believe is like a palm tree by the dry river bed; and Allah knows best.Okay, that's not so funny, but you get the picture. How about this?
The believers are like sand chiggers on the rectum of a balding she-camel; if only they understood!Now I'm rockin'!
A plate of bacon and a nine-year old wife; are these equal in comparison? Allah knows.Woo Hoo! Now it's your turn. Go get 'em, guys!
Another parable from Allah:
"A goose with a rash, and a smallish moose; are those two equal in comparison?"
SRINAGAR, India (AFP) - Police in Indian Kashmir seized newspapers carrying Pope Benedict XVI's strong criticisms of Islam and jihad, in which he called jihad "violent" and "against the nature of God." Police said they pulled the newspapers to stave off violent riots that might occur if the papers were circulated.
God, this Koran is tedious. Come to think of it, actually this is a good record of what it's like to read this book. As I mentioned, we will soon turn to Rumi, a Muslim mystic whose conception of God is utterly non-Islamic, and therefore as refreshing as cool water after the desert of the Koran.
"When some trouble touches a man he cries unto his Lord, turning to Him in repentance. But when He (God) bestows a favor upon him (the man) as from Himself, (the guy) does forget what he cried and prayed for before ... blah blah blah." Surah 39:8.
"Allah puts forth a parable -- a man belonging to many partners at variance with each other, and a man belonging entirely to one master: are those two equal in comparison?" Surah 39:29
"... [T]hose who reject Allah (the "god" who denies the divinity of Jesus, ed.) follow falsehood. While those who believe, follow the Truth from their Lord: thus does Allah set forth for men their lessons by similitudes (those ridiculous 'parables', ed.). Therefore when you meet the Unbelievers, strike at their necks (chop their heads off, ed.), at length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind (the captives) firmly; therefore is the time for either generosity or ransom: until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded: but if it had been Allah's will He could certainly have exacted retribution from them; but He lets you fight in order to test you.... blah blah blah." Surah 47:4
"The life of this world is but play and amusement: and if you believe and guard against evil, (Allah) will grant you your recompense, and will not ask you to give up your possessions." Surah 47:36
Los Angeles, California -- The International “Doom 3 Players’ championship” is now under way, and the American team is dominating the individual competition. Team Competitions, pitting two-man partners against two-man teams from other nations, begin next week.
Once we finish the Koran (probably four more posts) I'll take a short look at Rumi, a "Muslim" poet, a Sufi actually, who wrote poetry that the Muslim Community can actually be proud of, unlike The Worthless Koran. Unfortunately, Sufis aren't "in" with the current crowd of Islamofascists, and have been labeled heretical on multiple occasions. Also unfortunately, the God that Rumi writes about is the God called Love. In fact, sounds a whole heck of a lot like Jesus. Which of course you won't find in The Stupid Koran.
