Makka imam talks of oppression | ||||
2004-02-02 | ||||
Makka's Grand Mosque imam has lashed out at Israel, condemned Iraq's continued occupation and called for unity among Muslims in the face of oppression. Speaking from Islam's holiest site in Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Abd al-Rahman al-Sudais marked the start of Islam's Eid al-Adha – the festival of the sacrifice – with a message for all Muslims. "In Palestine, Muslims suffer oppression and al-Aqsa mosque [in Jerusalem] buckles under occupation ... how can we live peacefully while our holy lands 
are being tarnished by a band of infidel Zionists?"

#8 The chutzpah. How about the Sudanese enslaved, raped and murdered by Muslims? How about the Hazara or teh Algerians slaughtered by the wahabis? For a change how about asking for beheading of the Jihadi murderers and rapers? |

#7 SteveW: Ke=MV. Quarter-mile diameter asteroid, mostly basalt, would have the kinetic energy of about 140MT. Not quite a planet-killer, but would take out Mecca, Medina, Mt. Ararat, Jedda, Riyadh, and most of the Red Sea's west bank. The shake, rattle, roll, and air burst would do serious damage to anything within about 300-400 miles - not quite enough to reach Israel, but enough to let everyone in the Arab world know that the Big Guy is seriously pissed at His children's opressors. |

#5 OP: quarter-mile asteroid? Good Gawd, how big a hole do you want? A 50 yard across asteroid would leave Mecca and the surrounding hundred miles uninhabitable. A quarter-miler could be a planet killer. |

#4 I think I'm going to start praying to the REAL God that Mecca gets smacked with a quarter-mile asteroid next year at Haj season. Maybe send a message to the turbantops that they're braying like asses to the wrong Fella. |

#3 heh, I wish he would give the full-blown seethe sermon before the stoning of the devil ceremony. We need to get the numbers up on the ritual human sacrifice portion of the hajj. |

#2 Fred, as an American taxpayer who is funding the reconstruction, as well, I would like a souvenier to commemorate my contribution to piece. Were any of the Sadaam statues nudes? I have an idea of which chunk of Iraq that I might want. |

#1 F&%king losers will never allow Israel to live in peace - it gives them something permanent to seethe over - quit pretending they will and kill the loudest bastards |
