Muslim Brotherhood demands new apology
2006-09-18
Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood retracted their acceptance of Pope Benedict XVI's apology, issued earlier Sunday just hours before the group ackowledged the apology as "sufficient."

"[The Pope's apology] is not a detailed apology, and because of this we call on the Pope to offer a detailed apology which will put a definitive end to the confusion," the the group's second in command, Mahmoud Habib said on Sunday. Previously, Habib, said "We see the Pope's latest statement as a retraction of his previous statements."

"We see it as a sufficient apology, even though we would like the Pope to give a picture of his position on and vision of Islam."

#22  How about this one?

I'm sorry our military dipped all our bullets and bombs in lard prior to arrival at your little terrorist training camp. I'm also sorry we buried them all on their left sides, facing away from Mecca. Bob oversaw the whole operation, and he's kinda "directionally challenged", you could say. I guess that means you ain't getting to Paradise. Our bad!

(I can dream, can't I?)

#20  Best "apology" I've seen so far:
In editio televisium is oriens, Pontifex Benedict XVI ferito sicco procul velico of suus mane ineo in Muslimum dicum ut said velico ut a "sarcina of crybaby snake - lepor lepos" quod suadeo they tractare varius humanus impossible pluma of lentesco quod colonia facultas...
It gets better!

#19  I am sorry that after the Reconquesta kicked Islamic ass out of Andalusia the Papacy pushed for a series of Holy Wars in Europe rather than uniting to kick the Mulsim religion into the dustbin of history. For that I am truly sorry, but the Vatican is working on a plan to rectify this mistake.

#18  Sadly, more than any American politician has the cojones spine to authorize.

Which was Tom Clancy's point. The count was one.

#17  How many do you think it would take?

Sadly, more than any American politician has the cojones spine to authorize.

We need to exterminate all of Islam's jihadist clergy. It should be the last measure we take before resorting to nuclear weapons.

#16  I still want to see the stealth bomb from Tom Clancy's book "Clear & Present Danger".

It does a great immitation of a car bomb. We could send over a B-2 or F-117 and deposit them in appropriate places when appropriate people were around and then deny everything.

"What?? Wasn't us, we didn't do nothin'." Everytime one of the turds opens his mouth on Friday his parking lot gets a makeover.

How many do you think it would take?

Of the porcine variety, I would hope.

#14  Let's drop a few thousand pounds (or few thousand tons) of sewage on Mecca.

#13  First experiment (2001-2006): offer democratic institutions to two Moslem countries. Still unstable.

Second experiment (2007): insert Prozac into everything they drink. Abandoned due to lack of delivery mechanism.

Third experiment (2007): sun on earth. Repeated thousands of times. Add salt where symbolically needed.

#12  What kind of apology do they want? Do they want him to get on a prayer rug and face east?

Personally, I like to face west when I pray, so my a** is pointed to Mecca.

#10  I still don't undersand why Islamic nations don't seem to have institutions to lock the criminally insane in. Instead they let them run wild spouting religious bullshit. Letting their mentally ill run wild attacking the rest or the world is a criminal act of "moderate islam".

ISLAM GIVE YOUR SCHITZOS PROZAC AND LOCK THEM UP!

#9  We apologize that we have not captured you, tied you down, gouged your eyes out with spoons, lacerated every inch of your bodies, cut off your private parts, and boiled you in oil. How that for a 'specific apology'?

#7  Yup, Duh!. Being mere infidels can't possibly explain to them why we have enough nuclear weapons to blow them back to the stone age mezozoic era and still bounce the rubble a few hundred thousand more times afterwards.
Posted by: Zenster   2006-09-18 04:32  

#6  What we are witnessing is their utter arrogance brainwashed into them that they alone possess that certitude of righteousness for which our disagreement by way of merely being infidels is THE REAL affront to them. The rest is just opportunistic excuses.
Posted by: Duh!   2006-09-18 03:24  

#5  Oh, and one more thing to add to that apology:

I'm sorry all you guys blowing spittle are such mindless drones. But hey, who else would that kind of ideology attract?

Hope that works for you.

Have a nice day. FOAD again.

#4  Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood retracted their acceptance of Pope Benedict XVI's apology, issued earlier Sunday just hours before the group ackowledged the apology as "sufficient."

I can only suppose that the Pope's missive was insufficiently deferential. Begin watching for this, it is the absolute all time mega-cop-out for Islam. Victor Davis Hansen mentions this "absence of deference", and I predict it to be the trigger for everything from temper tantrums to all out nuclear war.

Every single stinking thing that Islam does all points to the need for some sort of massive retaliation. One that will shut them the fuck up for years. Nothing short of devasting a city with nuclear weapons will probably do the trick. The last vestiges of my humanity pleads that we should detonate a nuclear weapon somewhere in a vast swath of the Middle East's desert and issue a proclamation of "who's next?".

Sadly, I know that this will only generate more endless seething and further headlong races to build nuclear weapons. I know down deep inside that we are going to have to get all Medieval on one portion or the other of Islam. I'd really hate to begin with Iran, no matter how much the mullahs deserve it. The Iranian people are very much pro-American, regardless of how helpless they act. If we need to do this, I'd sooner see Pakistan get the Glass & Windex™ treatment, pour encourager les autres . Pakistan's near-constant deceit and continued sourcing of so many jihadists make it a prime candidate for this demonstration of power. No-fucking-thing else is going to do it, unless we go all the way and simply fuse every Muslim majority nation on earth.

What we are going to see now is a constant stream of extortion and blackmail involving the murder and kidnapping of Christians until the Pope gives in and flagellates himself while kneeling at the base of the Kabbah. And we all know that ain't gonna happen anytime soon, so let's just get this over with. If we thought the cartoonifada was bad, we ain't seen nothing yet. Islam has an endless supply of this vitriolic bile and they will spew it until someone slaps their collective mouth shut and stiches it closed.

#3  OK, here it is:

I'm feel sorry that the extremists wasted their lives reviving a dead branch of Islam. I'm sorry some guy dreamed it up in the first place. I'm sorry some guy thought it wise to keep a copy of that filth around. I'm sorry that guys with less than four functioning neurons in their brain seem to gravitate to extremism. I'm sorry you're so ignorant. I'm sorry you guys have the guns and the rest of Islam feel compelled to keep quiet. I'm sorry for what might happen if everybody doesn't figure out a way to get rid of you pretty soon. I'm sorry you can't take a joke or read between the lines. I'm sorry defeatists will need more concrete examples of terrorist successes before they figure it out. I'm sorry you guys are so hopelessly lost you'll never figure it out. I'm sorry you guys are trapped among other extremists who seem to be making a contest out of the whole thing as to see who can get away with being the most uncivilized.

Oh, and Moohamhead(FOAD) would be so proud!
