#1 Reading the Qu'uran and haddiths etc and thus "knowing" on an intellectual level just how amazingly wacked-out Islam is pales in comparison to its effects in practice. Every item here demonstrates the point. Taken in total - and knowing it's just another day in one corner of Islam and not an aberration - it is truly breathtaking.

A daily roundup like this should be required reading for every female - who's been allowed to learn to read - and read aloud to the rest. Then the same for all pseudo-intellectuals / self-styled elitists and apologists in the West. The sum is negative - in the extreme. I feel like Linda Blaire in The Exorcist... I can't remember, did her head spin first or did she do the target-vomiting first?

Thx for the post, Paul! BTW, are you still sane?

#2 Barely, although reading these things for the past year has been an interesting experience. Most of the typical insanity and fanaticism kind of melds together after a while, although I can still remember a few nuggets that I never posted here.
Like the time a Mullah reported on his close encounter of the infidel kind, wherein a UFO landed in his backyard, and several men with big eyes got out and started pointing at him, luckily, being a very holy man, the Mullah closed his eyes and prayed loudly. When he opened them, the UFO had disappeared.
Or the time when the dastardly Indians has come up with an evil new plan, where RAW had recruited thousands of Hindu girls, who had dedicated themselves to some Hindu goddess of love, and apparently had mastered the Kama Sutra, and were now streaming across the border in order to seduce Pakistan's Generals and Politicians in order to extract vital information from them.
And then there is this:
According to Khabrain, a Christian pir in Chak Misran has revealed that the tornado that visited the village was, in fact, a fight between two groups of Jinns. The non-Muslim jinns were opposed to Muslim jinns and were living a life of tension. The crisis broke out when a non-Muslim jinn fell in love with a Muslim female jinn. The girl jinn was very obstinate and did not listen to the buzurg Muslim
jinns and was about to marry the non-Muslim jinn when all hell broke loose and the village was destroyed. Muslim jinns which came from the neighbouring villages were rescued. Chak Misran was now completely in control of Muslim jinns and their children attended tilawat of Quran.

#3 Reminds me of the first time I got talking to a particular British/Pakistani girl who was a junior security guard at a place I once worked (absolutely stunning girl, btw, but dimmer 'n a five-watt bulb). She soon started telling to me, and this was totally unsolicited, that when a child, she had a close encounter with "humans with animal heads" in a field one time, back in the old country. I swear to you, she wasn't pulling my leg.

Although 'promised' to a Muslim, she later eloped with a married middle-aged a***hole named Paul.

It's an odd world.

#4 Paul / BD - I just back from dinner to find your private stash of jewels and BD's scarily familiar story - and they're doozies! I had conversations with 2 Saudis who were, for reasons that eluded me, bent upon converting me. We covered ground similar to BD's story married to the news items: they casually talked about spirits and ghosts as if everyone knew they existed - and apparently assumed I accepted their existence. Casual - and deadly serious. What did I say, you didn't ask? Well, I would smoke furiously to cover the death's-head grin that threatened to engulf me... it was very very hard not to laugh aloud, I tell ya. More than once, when they paused for the conversational encouragement to continue, it was all I could do to nod my head. One guy is still sending me occasional emails as I somehow became part of his list of "pet" infidels. I'm sure he believes I will convert someday.

BTW - Aramco was a specially privileged "zone" per King Abdul Aziz's edicts - and women could work there in the "core area" uncovered - given they had an influential daddy, that is. There were a few who were astonishingly pretty - huge almond-shaped cow eyes, but the Western-approved body shape was not as frequent. I can easily see the mullahs fearing an invasion of seductresses - and the weakness of a bloke suffering from a Daddy Complex who's offered a knockout woman's body sporting a child's mind.

As with most (all?) belief systems, the deepest fears of the believer's mindset are evidenced by their community myths and strictest censures. Methinks Little Mike had an unfaithful wife and got cheated a few times in business affairs - and took particular exception to exorbitant interest rates... Divine revelation, indeed! If only they knew their history well enough to have known it had to be Aramaic, not Arabic, they might've bluffed it through!

I hate to say it, but the Arthurian legend that so impressed Edward III such that he instituted honor and chivalry and fair play (embodied by the Order of the Garter) as tenets of military and official behavior may have to be jettisoned before the WoT reaches its climax. It will be hard to defeat an enemy with zero strictures when are are so burdened with taboos - which they employ against us at every turn, to boot. Someday, we may be forced to reply in kind. That will be their end, of course, if it comes to that.

Thx, guys - great (and scary) stuff!

#5 Maybe Khushboo, Bubbli, and Billo can get together and do the Paki version of "Charlie's Angels"? They won't even have to pluck their facial hair.
And if anybody from one of the Muslim leagues wants Manny Ramirez, just pick up the phone and make that call.

#6 Maulana declares war against Jews and Christians

What again?

.com- lots of Christians of various stripes believe in spirits. I'm of the evangelical variety and I believe in angels and demons, though I don't think them responsible for everything and I look funny at people I meet at church who claim to have complicated encounters with them.

#7 I'm of the evangelical variety and I believe in angels and demons

I'm with you... course I live down the hill from the projects and am expecting many students this evening. (Angels and demons) Luckily I have Mr. Hatfield to sort them out for me.
