The Islamic State

Rum, beer, movies, nice websites, gaming, etc., without interrupting the flow of martial threads.

The Islamic State

I have to admit that it's a catchy name.

Well they do have a great PR department compared to that musty old Bin Laden character we sent on vacation.

That said, I wouldn't want to live under them. They tend to murder boozers, atheists, gays, lesbians, secularists, feminists, emo's(yes they hate emos but who doesn't?)Christians, Sufis, Yedzis, people who own a Prius and moderate Sunni who disagree with them.

They are a very inflamed people and need to chill out.

I think USAF needs to air drop those angry fellas some nice hams and ballpark franks to cheer them up. Nothing like some tasty dogs to get a party started.

Yeah. That'll help them calm down.

Nothing calms down a fundamentalist Muslim like pork sausages.

an interesting side note:
While Isis worked well, there is currently an active militant group in Iraq and Syria commonly known as "ISIS" (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria). elementary obviously has no ties to that group—and we don't think people will get us confused—but we want to both recognize the ongoing turmoil and choose a less controversial name.

I thought it was funny. (Oh, wait...) ;)

What I find interesting is that the acronym ISIS, at least in languages I can follow, sounds like a polytheistic demon-deity from ancient Egypt.

A girl one.

I once won an argument between two Jews.

They were debating what food was most un-Kosher.

"Hey guys, have you ever heard of Maryland she-stew? It's a cream soup of oysters, seasoned with bacon."

One of them looked queasy. The other one laughed and said "And then if a bug lands in it!"

Not even most Jews win a yeshiva boy argument so as a mere passer-by I thought I'd done a good day's work.

Rather than the faceless monotheistic god-demon Yaweh. Not much different than Baal or Ashtoreth or any of the other nightmarish near east, sacrifice demanding tribal sky daddies only more arrogant since he can't abide worship of anything other than his big bad self.

:P

When will humanity grow up?

The late Arthur C. Clarke, writer of some really good books, posited the question, is there at least one god, or at most one god?

Like you he thought it all rubbish, but his question is very sound.

Tastelest, redneck ... maybe ... but what Race did the joke offend again? .. thought it was about Muslims? (hint ... not a race! :P)

on a side note ... the word racism being applied to muslims is so annoying and a product of modern times it would seem. I wonder if Chinese, white, black and Indian muslims consider themselves the same race any more than chinese, white, black or indian christians from the same towns....

This whole mocking a religion = "Racism" thing is plain stupid.
