cnn.com — MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP)--Somali troops backed by Ethiopians prepared to launch a major assault Friday on the last stronghold of Islamic movement militiamen. U.S. Navy warships were patrolling off the Somali coast to prevent the militiamen from escaping by sea. Naturally, Ayman al-Zawahiri is stirring up jihadis to make war on Ethiopian Christians..

To all you Non-Muslims... it's not widely known, but Muslims are allowed to give false information to Non-Muslims during Jihad. It's called Taqiyya. Take anything they tell you with a grain of salt.taqiyya (pronounced tark-e-ya) : precautionary dissimulation or deception and keeping one's convictions secret and a synonymous term, kitman: mental reservation and dissimulation or concealment of malevolent intentions... Taqiyya and kitman or 'holy hypocrisy' has been diffused throughout Arabic culture for over fourteen hundred years since it was developed by Shiites as a means of defence and concealment of beliefs against Sunni unbelievers. As the Prophet said: 'he who keeps secrets shall soon attain his objectives.' The skilful use of taqiyya and kitman was often a matter of life and death against enemies; it is also a matter of life and death to many contemporary Islamic terrorists.

Not exactly, but close. The Venetians redirected the 4th Crusade to sack Constantinople. It was land grab and power thing like most wars, but they needed an army to do it. Down with the Eastern Orthodox heretics and all that was more than enough reason for the Crusaders.

@ hidd "But remember you gonna die one day and meet with the one true God, then what you gonna do."I'm gonna give the big "G" a huge hug, then share a big bag of pork rinds and a bottle of scotch while we sit down to watch some 24 (you can bet your sweet burqa that the big guy gets ALL the episodes early, not just the first four.)How about you? What are you gonna do with your 72 virginal Helen Thomas lookalikes?
