#1 Of all the stupid conspiracy theories, this has got to take the cake. The whole danged world saw planes go into the twin towers so why waste your energy trying to say it was a missile that hit the pentagon? If you're gonna weave dark tales of fiendish plots, at least show a little creativity and respect for narrative consistency and say that the planes were remotely guided or that the hijackers were in cohoots with Halliburton or whatever.
Thank Allah people like Sheik Omran are stupid, otherwise they might pose more of a threat.

#2 Out of misplaced national pride, I might add that IIRC the "pentagon missile" theory was first given by our dear Thierry Meyssan in his book "Le Pentagate" (which I didn't read), after some skeptics debunked his truckbomb theory in "L'effroyable mensonge" (the grand matrix of 9/11 conspiracy theories, which I read, and found very light and unconvincing, being for example in part an internet-based "research").

#3 Sheikh Omran will find it difficult to convince John Howard that a plane did not crash into the Pentagon on 9-11-01. John Howard was in Washington at the time.

#4 "If all society agrees on something, that is very unhealthy," he said.

That whole "sun rises in the east" thing is a cancer on society, don'tchaknow.

#5 Who was responsible for 9/11? You mean, you think it wasn't the genocidal Saudis that crashed the planes into civilian targets? How do you figure that?

Wow, I'm ashamed to be living in the same country as a nutjob like this.

#6 Another great moment in islamic thought brought to you by yet another Sheikh McNutjob. If he was going to cook up a lie to believe for the ummah at least he could make half an effort to be creative. Then again the target audience is easy to please.

#8 The newspaper, called Mecca News, then promises that "in future editions we will uncover the rest of the questions which surround 9/11".

I, for one, look forward to this ground breaking piece of investigative journalism...

#9 As do I, tu, but don't hold your breath.

Can somebody hook this guy up with the one claiming Katrina was punishment for Gaza? Lock 'em in a room together with a soup spoon and a plastic knife for each of 'em?

#10 Hey, Munkarkat, leave the Scots out of it. We've already got our own home-grown Jihadi appologist in Galloway.

#11 Apologies extended generously and generally inarticulate, I was actually thinking McDonald's (big yellow arches) McShake rather than Scots. Galloway's an accomplished apologist I'll grant you but the lack of a zz top beard makes him a second rater at best though he's got a little flourish of the muddlebrain poetic prose in him.

#12 I guess it depends on your definition of "good." And your definition of "Muslims," since one of the boomers appeared on tape with Ayman. But it probably depends on your defintion of "Ayman," as well...

Uh, yes, and don't forget it depends on your definition of "is," too. I mean, what is is?
