#2 Nice idea, #1.

On another note, is it just my senile self, or are any of you having a hard time keeping straight all these Muslim terrorist names? Like Maulana Fazlur Rehman Khalil,Amjad Hussain Farooqui,Quari Saifullah...these are mouthfuls. Maybe the US Defense Dept. should just use numeric and geographic designations like Terrorist #102,658 from Iran and #56,437 from Pakistan have been killed or apprehended. These 46 letter names boggle the mind.

#3 Thanks, Rex. Frankly, I'd rather change all of their names to "Awaiting Sentencing."

#4 Look on the bright side at least their names have Vowels.

#5 Back in 1995 Qari Saifullah had been arrested for his involvement in the Major General Zaheer Abbasi conspiracy case.

He never went to prison, supposedly because he turned states evidence against the coup plotters.

It looks like we are seeing the annual 'crackdown' on the Jihadis, although actually arresting Akhtar in Dubai is a pretty big step. Still, I would be suprised if anything comes from it unless he really was involved in the assasination attempts.

#6 #2 Rex: I don't have a problem remembering the names per se, but what is confusing is the fact that the same names are used so frequently (Hussein, Mohammed, Ahmed, Aziz, etc.) That seems to be a problem in many countries. When I lived in Colombia I noticed very little variation in people's names. Everyone had the same name. There were like fifty names and that was it, and they were mostly biblical names. I knew like ten Ana's, ten Maria's, ten Luz's, ten Carlos's, ten Miguel's, etc. That's one thing I love about America; I love our variance in names. Black people take it too far, though. They make up some crazy names. If I had the start up cash I'd start selling those baby-naming books that we Americans have overseas. We'd get rich. I can just imagine a platoon sized force of terrorists, involved in a pitched battle...and somebody shouts "Duck Mohammed!" I bet everyone ducks...

#7 I think something bigger than an annual crackdown is going on.

#8 I use to know a young Black man whose name was Avon,A retired Secret service agent named Duck(always imagined him being on a case when some shouts"Duck"and him popping he's head up at the wrong time),and a Somoan named Melderic Fuckalota(that big ole boy could drink some serious,mass quaintiies of beer).

Too long. I'd like something shorter. Like "dead".

#10 A little respect there, Rex! I prefer "the late"...

#11 I'd rather change all of their names to "Awaiting Sentencing."
"Deceased", or "Former" also have a nice ring to them. Or we could make up something totally Islamic, such as "Virginized".

#12 OP -
How about we take your ideas one step further:

Former/Deceased/Viginized = DFV'd

..and I think DFV'd is a nice, succinct and direct acronym. Besides, with that 'F' in there it lends itself to something obscene.

None of it means sh!t until Pakistan starts ~~registering~~ closing the Madrasas. Until then, these arrests merely represent a revolving door for the thousands of new recruits being churned out. Sure, it's nice that they're getting the top dogs, but with dozens clamoring to take their place, no substantial change is being made.
