#3 TU, there is a problem only if they intend to light the fuses from a cigarette. In that case they must light the fuse in a bathroom stall and run very quickly to the target. Fuse length is critical during Ramadan.

#6 .com, I loved your Ramadan stories. I got the smoking in the boy's room from Healing Iraq.

I liked this excerpt from the story: We Want Our Rights:

Anyway, back to my driver. He was describing the fight to me; The gang were in a black BMW (very fashionable among gangs these days). 4 of them. The police patrol ordered them to stop by loud speakers. The gang tried to flee, and opened fire from their kalashnikovs on the two car police patrol. A policeman was injured. The patrol returned heavy fire and hit one of their tires. After a small chase the gang stopped and surrendered. My driver told me that while they were approaching the criminals, they blurted "Don't touch us", "We want our rights!", "Promise you won't hurt us!". Of course that was too much to ask. They had just shot and killed a police officer. I told my driver that I hope they beat the shit out of them. He relieved me by answering yes.

#7 Can they still blow shit up?

As long as it's after the sun goes down, yes.

#9 Anyone think that similar demands made of Muslims in a non-Muslim country would be either ignored or challenged?
