| Cyprus Muslim leader sez yes vote is Godâs will, threatens war |
| 2004-04-23 |
| Turkish Cypriot leader of the Sufi faith in Cyprus Sheik Nazim has called on Cypriots on both sides of the Green Line to vote âyesâ to the Annan plan in tomorrowâs referenda. âThis is Godâs will,â said the octogenarian Sheik, appearing on local Turkish Cypriot TV. âNo human alive can stand in the way of Godâs wishes, not even with tanks and guns, armies and planes,â he added. In typical style, the Sheik criticised the Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash, saying: âFor the last 30 years he has been cooking his shish kebab on one side. Now itâs time for him to cook the other side a bit. After all, the side heâs been cooking for 30 years has turned to ash. Even if itâs raw on one side, lets try and eat it. It may be raw, but add a little salt and itâll be fine.â Asked whether this meant he supported a âyesâ vote in the referendum, Sheik Nazim answered, âI say, âletâs eat kebabâ.â Sheik Nazim recently drew heavy criticism from Denktash and his supporters for visiting Archbishop Makariosâ grave at Kykkos monastery. During the visit, Nazim said he had met with Orthodox bishops in an attempt to persuade them to advocate a âyesâ vote to in the referendum. âI told the bishops Satan was cast out of heaven for saying ânoâ to God. I asked them, âdo you think this plan was written to create war between us?â No, itâs a peace plan. And if itâs a peace plan and you say ânoâ to it, maybe we should prepare ourselves for combat,â Nazim said. |

| #7 Personally, I think he's talking about the right to go Muff-diving and willing to go to war over it. |

| #6 Hey, Sheikh! Did you remember to use the Mesquite flavor charcoal briquettes? They'll add flavor to the raw side of the 30-year old kebebs. |

| #5 This vote is like couscous with some couscous being undercooked, while other couscous is overcooked and yet some other couscous is flavored of parmesean cheese while this other couscous is flavored of sundried tomato. It is the will of almighty Allan that we should eat the couscous that is like mush, but damn the Italians and their satanic cheeses, eat ye not the flavored couscous or you will surely burn in hell! |

| #4 I would imagine that the onions and peppers get burned long before the meat does. At least that always happens to me. Also, I am not impressed by this metaphor because rice pilaf is nowhere mentioned. |

| #3 lol! How 'bout a BBQ cookoff? I'm sure we have some independent consultants who would be happy to advise the Greek Cypriots. |

| #1 His shish kebab is ash on one side and raw on the other? Let's eat the raw side with some salt? How do these freaks come up with this shit? I hope he gets sick from eating his raw kebab. |
