National karate champion trained al-Qaeda |
2005-08-23 |
One of two terrorists killed in clashes with Saudi police last week was a national karate champion who trained al-Qaida members. A security source quoted Monday in the Saudi daily newspaper al-Watan said Mohammed Abdullah Awida, who was killed in Medina in western Saudi Arabia along with Saleh al-Oufi, al-Qaida's main operative in the kingdom, had turned his apartment into a training center for al-Qaida affiliates. Abu Baker Jabrati, a former karate colleague of Awida's, said the latter was kind and sweet when he met him at the time they were both training for the Saudi national championship back in 1992. But Awida changed personality and mentality later on and became a Muslim extremist in 1999, using his art in support of extremism, Jabrati said. |

And now, for a walk down memory lane: Everybody was kung-fu fighting Those cats were fast as lightning In fact it was a little bit frightning But they fought with expert timing They were funky China men from funky Chinatown They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down It's an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip Everybody was kung-fu fighting Those cats were fast as lightning In fact it was a little bit frightning But they fought with expert timing There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip Everybody was kung-fu fighting Those cats were fast as lightning In fact it was a little bit frightning But they did it with expert timing (repeat)..make sure you have expert timing Kung-fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning |

#3 Karate and other Asian martial arts are un-Islamic since they involve infidel mind-control techniques. I declare a fatwa against them! |
