First They Came For the Barbers, Then The Hand-Holders [sigh].....

As you may be aware, the barbers in Iraq were recently warned of terrible consequences (like being stoned to death and then hang by the neck until their absolutely certain they're dead), if they were found to be shaving off the beards of Islamic men. Because as everyone knows, women and Mohammed just loves them some men with four foot hairs growing out of their faces. So what if several dozen hairs inadvertently fall into your soup every once and a while? Eat up! Its the price they must pay for sanctity and the blessings from WHATSHISNAME.

So now they have turned to the second most diabolical efforts of SATAN -- "handholding" and the "close-proximity" of the pre-sinners -- "the unmarrieds." Will their work never end????

Islamic Spies To Snoop On Lovers

Tue Feb 20, 8:16 AM ET

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - A Malaysian state plans to recruit "spies" from the public to snoop on unmarried lovers and report them to Islamic religious authorities, a newspaper said Tuesday.

The Terengganu state government plans to enlist the part-time spies to look out for un-Islamic behavior, such as unmarried couples kissing or holding hands, the Star daily said.

"Some of these 'spies' could be waitresses or even janitors at hotels acting as auxiliary undercover agents for our religious department," the head of the state government's Islamic and welfare committee, Rosol Wahid, was quoted as saying.

"Accurate details are required for the enforcement officers to act, otherwise they could be pouncing on married couples."

Last October, religious police in another part of this mainly Muslim country caused an outcry when they mistakenly raided the rented holiday apartment of a Christian American couple on suspicion that they were unmarried Muslims in "close proximity."

*** -- Now its important that we all follow these events as closely as possible, because this is what 'merica will look like once the religionist right here gain control over every aspect of our lives.

Today, its -- "no gay marriages," tomorrow its -- "keel the infidel hand-holders."

"We will stamp out all this sinful LOVE if it's the last thing we do!!!"


"We're watching you!!!"

2. Hmmm....
Well Seriousstan, I had no idea! But then its not so hard. All one has to do is to repeat anything that is backward, barbaric, regressive, hateful, idiodic, unfeeling, antediluvian and contains numerous threats of death. That pretty much covers it....

that Iraq was a secular country.

4. He's the single GREATEST....
....THREAT to our country that I've seen in my lifetime. And I was born when Truman was still President.

But I knew we were headed down the gurgler when I started waxing nostalgic for the daze of Nixon. Sure, Nixon was insanely paranoid but he wasn't incompetent (at least not so you'd notice anyways). *sigh again*

Then.... :puke:
