What would happen if a believer were to glue a hummus-laden pita to the back of a cat, and hurl it from the local prayer tower? Ask the Aussie Imam!
UPDATE. Looks who’s breathing without the aid of an oxygen tank:
After emerging from Friday prayers at Lakemba Mosque today, Sheik al-Hilali was asked by a media pack whether he would quit over a speech in which he said scantily-dressed women invited rape.
“After we clean the world of the White House first,” the sheik said.
Supporters of the sheik cheered and applauded loudly at the comments, which were directed firmly at US President George W Bush.
“Someone left the cat meat in the rain ...” Sheik Hilali entertains his followers with a medley of Jimmy Webb hits. Hilali’s homies are determined to stand by their imam:
“Reaction from the grass roots is that we appreciate all the hard work the mufti has put in for the community,” Mr Trad said outside Lakemba Mosque, where more than 2,000 Muslims gathered for Friday prayers today.
“We’re certainly not going to pass judgment on the basis of one comment in which we know his intentions were completely different.
“The grass roots are behind him.”
I’m going to have to ask you to stop reinforcing the hummus stereotype with regard to muslims. Hummus is dee-lish—red pepper hummus or olive hummus, with some greasy corn chips, or baked pita chips, or tortillas. Goddamned addictive! Allah be prasied!
Not plain hummus tough, that’s surprisingly sucky.

If true (and I wouldn’t be surprised) this says a lot about lebanese muslims (the oxygen thief’s main supporters).
It also begs the question as to how serious these people are about being part of this country. I already know the answer but I wish the MSM would start asking it anyway.
2000 gather for Friday lunch time prayers. Such flexible employment these lads are all in.

He also asked Prime Minister John Howard and other politicians to stay out of the debate.

Let Me tell you the story ‘bout Ahab The Arab (Ray Stevens)
Let me tell you ‘bout Ahab The Arab
The Sheik of the burning sand
He had emeralds and rubies just dripping off ‘a him
And a ring on every finger of his handsHe wore a big ol’ turban wrapped around his head
And a scimitar by his side
And every evening about midnight
He’d jump on his camel named Clyde…and rideSpoken
Silently through the night to the sultan’s tent where he would secretly meet up with Fatima of the Seven Veils, swingingest grade “A” number one U.S. choice dancer in the Sultan’s whole harem, ‘cause, heh, him and her had a thing going. You know, and they’d been carrying on for some time now behind the Sultan’s back and you could hear him talk to his camel as he rode out across the dunes, his voice would cut through the still night desert air and he’d say (imitate Arabian speech) which is arabic for, “stop, Clyde!” and Clyde would say, (imitate camel voice). Which is camel for, “What the heck did he say anyway?”
Well….He brought that camel to a screeching halt
At the rear of Fatima’s tent jumped off Clyde,
Snuck around the corner and into the tent he went
There he saw Fatima laying on a Zebra skin rug
Wearing rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
And a bone in her nose ho, ho.
SpokenThere she was friends lying there in all her radiant beauty. Eating on a raisin, grape, apricot, pomegranate, bowl of chitterlings, two bananas, three Hershey bars, sipping on a “R C” Co-Cola listening to her transistor, watching the Grand Ole Opry on the tube reading the Mad magazine while she sung, “Does your chewing gum lose it’s flavor?” and Ahab walked up to her and he said, (imitate Arabian speech) which is arabic for, “Let’s twist again like we did last summer, baby.” (laughter) You know what I mean! Whew! She looked up at him from off the rug, give him one of the sly looks, she said, (coy, girlish laugh) “Crazy baby”.
‘Round and around and around and around…etc.And that’s the story ‘bout Ahab the Arab
The Sheik of the Burnin’ sand
Ahab the Arab
The swinging Sheik of the burnin’ sandThat Iowa boy has a real future in the advice column field. He should branch out.
Supporter and president of the Islamic Friendship Association of Australia, Keysar Trad, says the sheik will not resign but is taking a break which will include a pilgrimage to Mecca.
Is this the Muslim equivalent to checking into rehab?
Interesting follow-up on the Twin Cities cabbies from the Star Tribune (via Best of the Web Today). A rather ominous next to last paragraph:
[Hassan] Mohamud [vice-president of the Muslim American Society whose “fatwa department” issued an edict proclaiming “Islamic jurisprudence” prohibits taxi drivers from carrying passengers with alcohol, “because it involves cooperating in sin according to the Islam”] adds that Americans need to learn about Islamic law because the Muslim population here is growing. That’s why the proposed two-tier system for airport cabdrivers is important, he says. It could become a national model for accommodating Islam in areas ranging from housing to contractual arrangements to the workplace.
Hey, Mohamud, go accommodate yourself.

What’s the betting that after Sheikin’ Stoopid’s anti-US spray the brief outrage from sections of the left over his murderous misogyny is all forgiven?
At least these turban’d turds are starting to actually make their position clear- do we have the cohones to treat them as they warrant?
Slightly O/T.I missed the 7.30 Report’s sensitive analysis of the Mufti’s misinterpreted faux pas last night,there was some sort of industrial disputation happening at the Sheltered Collective and Red Kezza and the Kids didn’t get to air.They could hardly have avoided reporting on the biggest story of the day/week? and would have found it difficult to find sufficient wriggle-room to be uncritical of the putrid Sheik and his vile apologists.I wonder if a last minute strike was the way out.The switchboard operator claimed not to know the reason for the strike.
#33- I believe so, there’s a couple of sprays in the Australian today by then minister Chris Hurford, tipping a bucket on later ministers- he tried to deport the bastard in ‘86, but was talked out of it under pressure from then treasurer Keating, who had been warned of the Leb vote in Blaxland defecting; later on even a creaking trot dinosaur like Robert Ray tried to deprt him as well but met with the same resitance, along with a promise from the Ramadam Reptile to behave.
Whoever was in the chair in ‘90 (Hand I believe, he certainly had his hand on it) gave the rape-excusin’ Jew villifyin’ jihad promoter residency.
I’m unsure if he’s been given citizenship- there is still a literacy requirement (I believe) which he’d flunk big time, so if the Feds want’d to play hardball they could revoke his visa and have him on egypt Air so fast his fez would spin. Keyster’d be a good travelling companion.
There’s precent for revoking a visa while some bastard is offshore, they’ve done it plenty of times, even did it to an Aussie passport in the case of traitorous turd Wilfred Burchett.
All this talk of deporting him is horsesh*t. It’s a band aid solution. They need to round up every single non-citizen acolyte of this rapist pr*ck deport the f*cking lot of them.
And this isn’t a race thing: During the 80s and 90s I was all for deporting non-citizen Fenian sh*tbags who went around raising cash for their murderous mick brethren in Northern Ireland. As for the likes of Dermot Brereton and his sh*t-fer-brains old man, they just deserved a good kicking.

They just don’t get self-preservation.#95, Whilst that concept actually makes me consider moving Stateside, I think its fairly safe to say that if the Hawk was driving a turbo’d V8, she’d have quite a few more ponies than 485. A 426 Hemi left the factory with “425hp” actual testing proved quite a bit more.
Thats in the 1960’s with no forced induction, factory heads and camshaft. The same engine rebuilt today would have 600+hp easy, plus turbo or two and your looking at 1000+hp. Makes me smile just thinking about it…
Also 485 aint nowhere near enough to run 5’s.
Try 3000-4000, if not more.Iowahawk for president: I second the notion.

Coupe of Justice is coming along swell. Engine is in the frame and knock wood, will have the body on frame this weekend. I’ll have a comprehensive update at my site soon. Until then, here’s a YouTube movie of my 389 poncho motor running a trio of ultra-super-rare, Gaia-choking 1957 Saaty Meteor fuel injectors ....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f3h24n_D7k
Right now it’s clocking in at a smidge over 400 hp. Not a nitro burning funny car, but enjoys 91 octane unleaded and is more than adequate for pushing around a 2100 pound coupe.
In other car news, a certain Aussie blogger and I have a few secret shennanigans planned this year involving the Coupe of Justice, the Coupe of Wrath, and NaCl.

Before The Day Everything Changed, Gerry Adams used to come over here regularly to be wined, dined and feted by Irish pols (even got invited to Clinton’s White House). Then he’d go back home with a suitcase full of money for the cause (Sinn Fein being the political wing of the IRA and all so donors could rest assured that the money didn’t go for military/terrorist activities—yeah, right). Used to piss me off mightily (and I come from a long line of leprachauns—the non-plastic variety). Haven’t heard much from or about old Gerry since 9-11, and he certainly doesn’t drop in anymore. Ain’t that a cryin’ shame.

I know this sounds dumb (the oldest V8 im familiar with is a 307 chev), why does a poncho have triple carbs/injectors and headers? Do you need to run the middle injector at double duty?
Also if the sodium chloride (you got me thinking back to high school there) your running on happens to be down under (unlikely I know), feel free to drop me a line, I’d consider that worth an interstate trip.

Actually that video is from last weekend, the first time the engine was fired with all 3 injectors. We had numerous bugs to work out on the motor, mostly involving the front timing seal, vent tube and vacuum advance.
Lots of early OHV V-8s had optional multi-carb setups (mostly 3x2s and 4x2), including the pontiac. Remember “Little GTO” by Ronny and the Daytonas? “Three deuces and a four speed and a 389.” The 1959 Pontiac 389 had an optional 3x2 or fuel injection, but this one started out as a stock 4 barrel, 325 hp.
Internally it’s close to stock but bored .030 over on the pistons and .010 on rods and journals, hardened seals and an mild Isky cam. The Saaty injectors are extremely rare aftermarket pieces, probably fewer than 100 were ever made. They work sort of like a constant CFM carburetor, and are set up on a progressive linkage. At low RPM only the center one is live, flooring it kicks in the fore-and-aft units. In total around 600 cfm flow.
The injectors set on top an Offenhauser aluminum intake manifold. Other than the Pertronix (modern electronic ignition system hidden inside the stock distributor), it is completely pre-1960 technology.
Seriously though, as much as it pains me to say it, 9/11 (11/9, bloody seppo’s) has pretty much brought peace to Ulster.
It’s a dark cloud indeed that doesn’t have at least one silver lining.
Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2006 10 27 at 12:50 PM • permalinkOh, I’ve encountered plenty of misty eyed twit Yanks (and Canucks, Aussies and Kiwis), who are about as Irish as a plastic leprachaun garden ornament, who’re forever bleating about the homeland and the bad old Brits, who’re quite happy to bravely stoke the fire from 3000 miles away.
Before The Day Everything Changed, Gerry Adams used to come over here regularly to be wined, dined and feted by Irish pols (even got invited to Clinton’s White House). Then he’d go back home with a suitcase full of money for the cause (Sinn Fein being the political wing of the IRA and all so donors could rest assured that the money didn’t go for military/terrorist activities—yeah, right). Used to piss me off mightily (and I come from a long line of leprachauns—the non-plastic variety). Haven’t heard much from or about old Gerry since 9-11, and he certainly doesn’t drop in anymore. Ain’t that a cryin’ shame.One of the major reasons that the Irish Free State was created (later to be the Republic of Ireland) was aid from America. Money, political support, refuge and manpower went from America to Ireland. The guerilla campaign that was the culmination of the Anglo Irish war, also called the Black and Tan war, was by no means neat, nice or conducted with the rules of war. The civil war that followed was worse. I’d also note that America wouldn’t exist but for external aid (France).
Is this a rationale for blowing up pubs or kids? No. But that doesn’t change the fact that external aid has been a deciding factor in two countries gaining independance from Britain. In Ireland’s case, that was relatively recent.
I know this because my misty eyed grandparents took part in that war.
You also leave out the intransigence of the Ulstermen who abrogated the English side of the treaty and set the stage for the rise of the recent spate of the “Troubles”. They were there, and they helped “stoke the fires “. You conveniently ignored that bit. It should not be a crime to be Irish, Catholic or speak the Irish language. People have been arrested, harrased, attacked and/or killed for all of these in the last thirty years. Gerry Adams did not engineer all of these. He may be a convenient boogeyman, but please remember that the Rev. Ian Paisley M. P. has never worried about his visa status. Thanks to you.
Yes, have visited President Iowahawk’s site many times and as he verified himself, he is a rodder. He would feel at home in these parts of Tennessee, too.
This place has rod run weekends from April through September.
The funny car is for the drag strip he will build on White House grounds and to smoke tires in front of dignitaries (leaving them breathless with both smoke and speed) both here and on overseas ventures.
Of course should he not want to pilot the craft himself, if Don Gartlis or Shirley Muldowney are still with us, I would believe they would be more then happy to accomodate, our new President, especially with the promise of a ride on a tricked up AF-1.
“One of the major reasons that the Irish Free State was created (later to be the Republic of Ireland) was aid from America.”
America is full of dirtbags who will aid just about anything, including aiding scumbags who are killing Americans.
Ask Jane Fonda about it.

Do the secondary injectors both kick in at once? That could be interesting, 200cfm to 600 all at once could be VERY interesting.
Remember “Little GTO” by Ronny and the Daytonas? Dude I turned 25 last month and live down under (the far side), so no.
#130, Spot on Blue Hen, my thoughts expressed in a much more articulate manner than I am capable of late on friday night. Paisley is like a christian (I use the term loosely) Hilali.
#131, I can just picture the Hawk challenging foreign heads of state to a race “your chopper vs my fueler.”
For those who dont know, if your in a F1/indy car running 200mph and you hit the start line on the quarter at the same time the fuel car hits the noise, he will beat you over 402m. Very few choppers can do 200mph…

This is an interesting point, but where is the parallel? In the case of Vietnam, millions were tortured, murdered, or made refugees, where before in South Vietnam there had been a government fighting to stay alive. In the case of the Irish Republic, there had been a nationalistic movement fighting for independence from a foreign power. And now there is a constitutional republic. If you don’t believe me, and the differences between the two, check out St. Patrick’s church in Dublin. it dates from the 13th century. Though it was built as a Catholic church, it was seized by the forces of the Crown and turned into a protestant church. After Irish independance, it remains a protestant church.
If you can’t tell the difference between Ireland and Vietnam, I doubt that anyone else on this site could help you.And you left out the point that America owes its freedom to French intervention. It’s not a convenient fact, but a fact nonetheless. I rather doubt that the British were over fond of the French monarchy after that.
Oh yes. I’ll ask Jane Fonda about her role in Vietnam, if you’ll expalain to the priest trying to run Holy Cross school in the Ardoyne why Protestant mobs throw rocks at school girls. And why the forces of the Crown can’t be bothered to stop it. Or why he receives death threats, none of which have ever been prosecuted. Unlike Jane though, he still believes in peace and dialogue over supporting the Viet Cong, IRA or UDP. It’s a pity the British government can’t say the same about it’s tolerance of Protestant parties that foment violence against Catholic children AND British soldiers when they attempt to enforce even some of the marching season restrictions.
But then that’s probably the fault of the plastic Americans as well. And Gerry Adams. musn’t forget him. But then he’s Catholic, and he speaks a foreign tongue, so he must be evil.
My, but the Sheik has created quite a stir:
Editorial: Sheik’s values out of step with modernity
Metaphor hides mufti’s real message
Relaxed sheik gets rock star treatment
No one can sack me, says defiant Hilali
“My name is Taj, my job is a sheik, my tools are my turban, and I am a servant serving the religion of God. I pray to God ... and I will die attesting to the religion of God. I don’t belong to any establishment or to any government. And whoever wants to terminate my wages, let them terminate it.”
“Only God can remove me from this position.”(all compliments of Lucianne)
Blue Hen, no one denies what you are saying and no one blames Gerry Adams for all the Irish/English “Troubles”. Simply stated, Gerry Adams represents an organization that uses terrorist tactics to further its goals. I do not distinguish between the political or charitable and terrorist “wings” of Hamas or Hezbollah. Why should I do it when it comes to the IRA? I don’t approve of such tactics and I don’t approve of the people who fund them, including backhanded support by way of Sinn Fein.
Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2006 10 27 at 03:37 PM • permalinkActually, yes, the only person targeted by anyone on this thread was Gerry Adams. No one has bothered to question The forces of the Crown, the Protestant mobs or Protestant leaders, several of whom have incited the same tactics. Ironically, those last two groups turned on their own, since they’ve attacked British troops and police. When Catholics do it, that’s terrorism. I’m very glad to note that the IRA declared two cease fires, that they are now disarmed, per a third party, and supposedly will not return to violence. THAT STILL HAS NOT HAPPENED WITH THE PROTESTANT GROUPS. AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYONE WHO CONDEMNS THE CATHOLIC TERRORIST LEADER CONDEMN THE PROTESTANT TERRORIST LEADERS.
I can condemn both, and I’m a plastic American of Irish ancestry.I’ll believe that there’s some sense of equality the day Paisley is ousted from Parliment. Or the day the RUC men who helped Protestant ‘paramilitaries’kill Pat Finucane in his house, in front of his children see the inside of a prison.
Or when someone besides me decides that protestant terrorists are terrorists, not paramilitaries.
#137 I’m with you on this one Blue Hen. What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
That being said, and despite being half Irish (patrilineal descent), the tenor (no pun) of Irish politics as they relate to world affairs disgusts me. Just one example is the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
Even here, down under, they’re militating against Israel’s right to exist.
I went to a pub downtown for lunch—bangers & mash, a couple Guinness and the Rugby on telly—and read the local Irish rag. Fair put me off my food it did.
(btw, re: the French and early U.S.; the Alien and Sedition Act (John Adams, 1798) was put into law as America prepared for war against France. A fascinating subject (the Act, that is) and very topical).
Posted by MentalFloss on 2006 10 27 at 05:35 PM • permalinkOh for pity’s sake, terrorism is to be condemned regardless of who’s doing the terrorizing and who’s being terrorized. And if the individuals or organizations who throw rocks at schoolgirls and make death threats against priests should come to the United States on a fundraising junket, I would condemn them as vociferously as I do Adams and the IRA. But Adams and his organization don’t get a pass just because there may be others who are equally wrong.
And you left out the point that America owes its freedom to French intervention.
I think that overstates it just a bit, don’t you.
Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2006 10 27 at 06:06 PM • permalinkI agree with you Mental Floss. I am not happy with the state of Irish politics, or how they regard the ‘yanks’. Much of it I think to be unfair. But then, even though they owe their freedom in large measure to America, they should not have to show slavish allegience. And Heaven knows, they certainly don’t. Just as we don’t slavishly follow the French.
But.
Two major, unpleasant, inconvenient facts remain.
1. Violence aided and abetted by external powers did indeed establish America and Ireland.
2. When referring to violence and terrorism in Ireland, particularly recent violence in the North, only violence by Catholic/Nationalistic ‘Republican’ sources is referenced. And yes, it is terrorism, and no, I do not and have not condoned it. Nor have I ever provided aid to any such groups. Violence perpetrated by Protestants, especially from within the RUC, B Specials, and collusion between these, the Orange Order and leading Protestant politicians, none of whom ever was prevented from holding office, is ignored, or downplayed, or mentioned as ” part of the tragic situation”. Try explaining why David Trimble got a Nobel prize when he is on record threatening to kill British troops that stood in his way??? The fact that he got to share the stage with John Hume, who never advocated violence, and whose SDLP never allied with Sinn Fein is an outrage.
If anyone here wishes to name the dates that the Protestant groups declared a cease fire first, or when they gave up weapons, I’d like to hear it. I hope that the IRA is done for good, and they never renege. And that comes from one whose close relatives were in the IRA when it fought the Crown 1916-1922, and then were anti-treaty IRA during the civil war that followed.
Let’s see a Protestant say the same about the most Reverend Paisley, and the troops that drove Catholics out of their church during Mass so that Orangemen could march through their neighborhood. I’ve yet to hear it.
re: #139
1. Unionist politicians HAVE TRAVELLED TO THE UNITED STATES. Their credentials and visas were never questioned. That’s the entire point. We can and should have a debate regarding whether Gerry Adams should be allowed to visit the US, raise funds or speak. I agree that it should be restricted. But Unionist politicians have been here repeatedly, and the debate never took place.
2. Overstated? France supplied Washington’s army with muskets, powder and shot from 1778 on, actually landed troops, a French fleet held off a British relief force at the battle of the Chesapeake Capes that doomed Cornwallis at Yorktown, and stopped a mutiny in the Continental army by paying Amercian troops that hadn’t seen any pay in over a year.
No. I don’t think that it overstates it. At all.
Try reading any of Washington or Hamilton’s leeters from that period.
I have English, Irish and Scottish relatives and I dearly love them. They are Catholic (as I am )and Protstant. I am a product of a mixed marriage and born and bred in Liverpool UK. (came to Beautiful land of OZ in my late teens) Give Gerry Adams some credit for putting down the gun and choosing the ballot box. Ian Paisley is still being stubborn but there is peace. No matter who won the battle of wills in Ireland peoples lives would not change. Mass on Sundays Pubs would still open the Guiness and Beamish would still flow. If these Muslim Fucktards got their way, well you can imagine what a toilet life would become. So using the Catholic Protestant troubles as analogy with the current Muslim shit is like comparing the common cold with terminal cancer.
Could you Irish people take your Troubles off to a thread that is about Irish terrorism? Thanks.
By the way, Ian Paisley is a murderous, fanatical scumbag. Happy now?

Yeah, but he’s always rambling on about rape, and scantily clad women, so you know he’s THINKING bush.
Posted by Dave Surls on 2006 10 28 at 01:24 PM • permalinkHow the hell did Gerry Adams get into this? There are early posts in this thread about how Gerry HAND -the then Minister for Immigration who was a poisonous leftist twerp - signed off on the Big H to be a citizen.
Lets stick to the real enemy, people.
Anyway, I think the revered holy mufti ukelele (may wild hogs mate on the graves of its ancestors), should be made a Companion of the Order of Oz in the next list for outstanding services to multiculti.
Cheers
