#1 Original Dandy Don Meredith:
If Ifs and Buts
Were Candy and Nuts
We'd all have a Merry Christmas

Updated:
If jihadi Rumors and Threats
Were placed as Sportsbook Bets
The Terrs'd be broke by Ramadan

#2 Motor City *does* have a substantial Shia population, LGF had pix of them marching around with Khomeini's poster...

#4 A lot of any chatter is likely wishful thinking. There's always the chance, though, of someone carrying through.

#5 The bad guys would attack the Super Bowl if they could, that's a given. Still, this is coming from World Net Daily, f'cryinoutloud.

#6 "Much of the western world will be watching television that day..."
...and so an attack almost anywhere in the U.S. would get a heck of a lot of immediate attention.

#7 Let's keep an eye on the Goodyear blimp, just in case...

#8 Blowing up the SuperBowl would be deep, deep, mistake on their part. This would place the west (and definatly the US) on a 'total war' footing.

The term 'stupid move' doesn't begin to describe it.

Maybe they're trying to get their bets down?

#10 Gotta go with CF and djohn on this one. Any attack launched on the Superbowl would galvanize America and give the White House carte blanche to begin cleaning the Middle East's clock.

As usual, the moderate Muslim community doesn't seem to have any particular notions as to just how dangerous such a plot might be to their own welfare. Smart Imams (now there's an oxymoron!) would have Muslims gather around the stadium as a human shield to deter any sort of mass attack.

Imagine the fabulous publicity such a move would give the moderate Muslim faction in America. Now, imagine just how stupid they have to be in order not to begin seizing opportunities like this. Tens of thousands of Muslims gathered outside of the Superbowl protesting Islamist terrorism. The PR value would be nearly infinite.

I predict they will, as usual, never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

#11 Lotsa muslims in the Detroit/Dearborn area. Wouldn't even have to travel. Might be considered a target of opportunity.

#12 Not to mention it's right across the river from Canadistan.

#13 I'm hoping even jihadis are smart enough to know not to mess with The Pittsburgh Steelers.

Go Stillers!

#14 Better not allow prayers near the air vents during the game.

I fear, Zenster, that such an act would make them apostates - and so, fair game. More infidels. Not pious enough.

#16 gotta think they've paid big PKR's for squares in a SB pool and haven't got their numbers by now - getting nervous. "We should never have bet on a game involving pigskin, stoopid!"
