#1 A question for Rantburgers. Do they have levels of Martyrs.? Like does this guy only get two virgins and a goat, since he was a failure, but tried? Do they grade on a bell curve when giving virgins?

#2 Depends on the hadith quoted and the interpretation.

The majority view is that all moslems (male) get at least 72 virgins (plus lots of other goodies); but the matyrs (as was al-Saksak) get their rewards instantly.

#3 I'm too old for feckless, giggly virgins, but a John Deere 25 horse, with a 54 inch deck would be handy. Enclosed cab with an AC unit (just in case). What religion was it again...?

#6 "Tractorism" sounds viable, I propose "Church" be A 40 acre field (minimum) needing attention, We"ll have different "Sects" ,mowing, plowing, harrowing, planting, and a sub-sect or two for Quail, partridge, Deer or whatever the local game is. Meetings are irregular, depending on season.

#8 Peretz ordered operations inside Gaza. If someone here is competent enough to post the article with a proper link, here it is.

#9 And here I was all set to add that it must have been a "Starblast" coffee shop, but then got sidetracked with all the discussion about John Deeres and big decks and such.
Can hardly wait for mowing season. Grass. Talibunnies. It don't matter.
Remember: Except for the Brave Lions of Islam, Nothing Runs (Away) Like a Deere.

#10 Enclosed cab with an AC unit

Bah, no modern religion for me. I grew up on a Ford 8N tractor with the Model T engine, complete with front mounted magneto. Cleverly located where the fan would blow melted snow all over it while plowing the road in a blizzard. Had to keep stopping to dry it out while fighting off packs of hungry wolves.

#11 Steve: did'ja leave out the part about having to keep one hand on the carb linkage to keep it running whilst fighting off said wolves ?:)

#12 A friend of mine has an 8N with some kind of road gear. I swear that thing will clip along at like 30. I admit, I lust after it. Which model Ford tractor had the V8 flatty in it? I saw 3 of them at a car show one time. Scored very high on the woodometer.

#13 Had an allis-Chalmers "C" one time, it"s surprisingly easy to get parts for these old beasts.

#15 Martyrs also get a pass to jannah for 80 of their relatives. Got a no good cousin? Then off yourself Achmed.

#16 Farmall H. Surprisingly impractical for plowing my driveway. Thought it would be neat. Neighbors hated it. I hate them, so it worked perfect.

#17 Oddly enough they hate my racecar too. Some people don't appreciate methanol motors with open headers.

I demand my own splinter sect; dedicated to racing lawn mowers. Something dreadfully wrong with going 35 + mph on a 12 hp Briggs-powered JD SX38. Fun, but everybody ensures their children are safely away from you (me) when the sport is mentioned...... Only oval racers allowed, btw.

If its on dirt, I'm in.

#21 Can I request open wheels? Fenders are just silly.

Actualy I was raised as A "pissypalian" but it didn"t "Take"

#23 Grew up with a Farmall Cub and an International Harvester of a forgotten model. Both were older than me, and both are probably still running.

Unless, of course, PETA stands for People Eating Tasty Animals. And, on the Baptist front, I resemble that remark, just not old enough to talk about farm life (grew up in suburban Atlanta).

*DUCKS all older folk mad at me*

#25 Open wheels and of course on dirt; pavement is just for gettin' there. But watching a Toro lay rubber or a Craftsman w/ an 883 Harley do a burnout is a bit, uh, different.

At least you had wolves, we had to make do with the neighbors picture of an angry Lassie.
