#3 Funny, I always thought they were soiled tableclothes or someone's curtain.

#4 It doesn't matter if he's warming up yo momma's undies, he's still full of sh!t.

Please try to get over the "raghead" and "diaper-head" bullsh!t. Ask a Sikh why he wears his turban. You'll find that it is done so that, as God look down upon the world, He cannot tell the difference between men, regardless of wealth or position. The sooner y'all get over your bigotry, the sooner your reasons for detesting Islamic fascism will make more sense.

#6 why do turbans hate us?

#7 The key question is, does dear Dr. Fazl (he must have a PhD because it's required in order to run for the NA, even if one has to purchase one's diploma at the nearest street corner) have a different turban to match each outfit, or does he carefully choose clothes that will match the turbans? This requires ever so much more thought than the usual black-is-for-Shiites and white-is-for-Sunnis (what colour for Alawites, Baha'i, Sufis, or Pakistan's fave heretics, I've long wondered?)

#8 I have to agree with Zenster, especially since My hair is beginning to fall out (chemo) and may be needing some covering against the Arizona sun Myself.

#10 Jackal, sorry to hear that, bro.
I'll put you in my prayers.

#11 Zenster, when God looks down he doesn't see hair, he sees people's auras. What the ragheads don't realize is that after you saw off someone's head with a ginsu, your aura looks like a pool of vomit. God would like to throw a shovel of dirt on it, but He promised not to interfere until Judgement Day.

#12 Thank you, Zen. I too get a little tired of the 'raghead' and pigshit jokes.

#14 Who cares about his hat. Take a look at his hands. They look like Lon Chaney's after he finished makeup for "Wolfman".

#15 Jackal, please accept my best wishes for a speedy recovery. I'm confident you already thank goodness to be living in a country with the most advanced medical services available to all mankind. I'll not even ask you to consider what your chances would be were you living in some foreign third world hellhole.

Zenster, when God looks down he doesn't see hair, he sees people's auras.

That's your take on things and you're free to believe it. Incidents like the Beslan atrocity have made me have serious questions about the existence of God. I find it is better to operate on the principle that God isn't going to intervene and that we had better sort out these problems ourselves.

Given that, it is crucial to focus on the core issues, like religious intolerance, willingness to target civilian populations and use them as shields, instead of worrying about who is wearing what on top of their head. Rest assured, sometimes it becomes almost impossible to avoid the ocassional "pull-start" joke. I myself have mentioned Turban Torque Wrenches. But we all owe it to ourselves and those we love to maintain focus on the central issue of how to bring an end to terrorism.

Instigating misplaced hatred of people who wear turbans isn't going to do this. Calling Islam on the carpet for its constant terrorist atrocities is.
