REPORTS DOUBTED, BRIEFLY

Tuesday night:

A spokesman for the Damascus headquarters of Hamas terror chief Khaled Meshaal said Tuesday night he doubted reports that Fatah-linked terrorists had threatened to kill Hamas leaders.

Wednesday morning:

Violence between Hamas and Fatah resumed Wednesday morning as Muhammad Uda, a local Hamas leader, was shot to death as he was exiting morning prayers ...

  2. They didn’t threaten any leaders, they just killed one.

    See, you can always believe Hamas spokesmen.

  3. If you’re shot exiting morning prayers, you go straight to paradise, so it’s not all bad.

  7. Fatwa math

    Achmed:  “Now, how does it go?  The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.”

    Farouk:  “No no no, you donkey.  The friend of my friend is my enemy’s friend.”

    Ali: “Both of you are like goats upon a trash heap, noisily chewing three-day old garbage. Listen to me, my brothers. In truth, it is, The friend of my enemy’s friend, less one enemy, twice removed, carry a friend, is my cousin’s sister’s ... sorry, I think I’ve messed it up somewhere. Let me start again ... “

    Achmed: “Wait, I think I have it.  When my friend is my enemy, I must kill him.”

    Farouk: “Quiet, jackass.  It goes thusly.  The fleas upon my enemy’s camel itch equally as those upon the camel of my friend.”

    Achmed: “Who are you calling jackass, you vendor of sneezed-upon shawerma!”

    Farouk: “Why, I’ll show you, you handshaker of Jews!”

    Ali:  “Hmmm, both of my friends are now enemies. I must ... smite both of them?”

    (cartoon explosions and smoke with fists and sandaled feet protruding to portray violent tumult, superimposed with large animated “QA’BLOOEY!” “QA’BOOM!” “SHISH KABOB!” “SHISHLIK!” “FALAFEL!” Smoke clears to reveal Achmed, Farouk and Ali all blackened, with chirping birds circling their heads. Enter IDF soldier)

    Schlomo:  Excuse me, I’m looking for a partner for peace?  Partner for peace is which way, please?

    Truer than you know.

    The rule for these barbarians has always been:

    Brother against brother
    Brothers against family
    Family against clan
    Clan against the world

    ...and it always shall be so.

  9. Well, for a Muslim, I guess it’s at least a little more dignified to get shot exiting from morning prayers than while performing morning prayers.

  10. tiodi,There’s one thing I don’t understand about mussos, if they get topped, their in heaven with god, but those left behind are angry and seek revenge. Typical paradox.

  11. No, there were no threats.  Only prophecies.

  12. #7, Thanks for the laugh, crittenden.

  13. Man, those Mossad guys are really slick, aren’t they?  And has anyone checked out Caterpiller’s alibi?  Don’t forget to look for tell tale rust stains on the stiff.

  14. If you kill a fellow Muslim, do you only get 36 virgins?

  15. 14. Yes, but the upside is you don’t have to “shave your junk”!

    And here is the one that Zarqawi got.  (no nudity, just payback)

  17. Please do not explain that last remark, VOTC

  18. Paco makes a very astute point.  Getting shotduring prayers is in all likelihood an ass shot.  Not a dignified way to line up for virgins, clutching one’s ass, when all the other martyrs are holding their heads like basketballs, nobly charred.

  19. I’m trying to describe this in something other than a cliche. But this really is a win-win.

  20. Crittenden, don’t you just wish you could somehow get the gem at #7 worked into a Globe column?

    A keeper. Cut, pasted, dried.

  21. #7, Crittenden, Lord E, I just woke up my husband and scared the cat.  That was inspired.  Thanks for the giggle.

  22. Thank you, Floss, but thus far the Globe has refused my one condition of employment, that op-ed columnist James Carroll and Editor Marty Baron be required to wear burkahs to maintain the dignity of the workplace.  So, they do their thing on Morrissey Boulevard, and I do mine at 1 Wingo Way.
