#1 Wait until that WMD lawsuit against Moses' "chemical warfare" (turning water into blood), "biological warfare" (frogs, gnats, flies, cattle pest, boils, locusts), "ecological warfare" (hailstorms, darkness) and infant genocide (killings of the first borns) against Egypt comes up! Hello Brussels?

Btw Mr Hilmi, charging interests is forbidden by the Quoran.

But hey, maybe the Jews get their money back from Berlusconi... you know, the Romans...

#5 Btw Mr Hilmi, charging interests is forbidden by the Quoran.

Actually, they've found a way around that, TGA. It's called "damages". Instead of "ursury" (ie, interest), the person who has the money is charged "punative damages" or "fines" for not returning it on time. The fact that the "fine" is roughly the same amount as the interest would have been (had it been charged), is just a coincidence, don't you know. ENTIRELY coincidental! Allah says so! And so on...

They've obeyed the letter of the Koran (No charging of interest), yet still manage to profit from the loaning of money.

Not that they're cynical, mind you...

#6 Caveman 1: Uhg. Booga booga uhg.
Caveman 2: Uhg? (grunt. snort.) Zug-zug off! Jihad!

First Lawyer Evar: (I smell cash...) "Uhg. Here's my ~~card~~ rock. I feel for you, man. You've been injured. ~~Call me~~ Build a fire when you wanna talk, k?" (I could end up with 33% of all Gaia!)

#7 If the Jews are smart (and they are) they should counter-suit with slave reparations payment. Entire race enslaved for X number of years at minimum wage (sliding scale for skilled labor). I bet Mr Hilmi will drop the whole thing after that calculation.

#8 CyberSarge: the only problem is that it would set a precedent for the goofs in the US who are demanding reparations here.

I wonder if Belgium can claim universal jurisdiction for all wrongs committed in history?

#9 Is the right to reparations transferable like a car warrentee? Didn't the Arabs overrun the Pharoh and his minions and pillage the joint? How does that give them the right to the reparations owed to another ethnic group? Wait a minute... we get a California lawyer to sue the Danes for furs that he stole off native americans. It will work because we can trot in some shamen to present an "oral" history as proof.

#10 Every article on this story traces back to a translation of an Arabic interview done on 08/09/03. The translation was by MEMRI, and almost all sources quote it. MEMRI is based in Washinton DC, and is run by six former Israeli intelligence officers (articles questioning this group have appeared often). An Arabic speaking friend of mine could not fine any interview in Al-Ahram with Dr. Hilmy, and I scanned all their English translations with no results...
