Didn't it occur to them that they would only get to "enjoy" these 70 virgins once because after the first time, they wouldn't be virgins anymore?
'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

Well, maybe they get "healed."
What if there are only 70 virgins total? All the martyrs have to share them. It doesn't say anything about getting 70 different virgins, does it?

Good that fags go to hell, where all the bad boys are
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

Its the thread on Zarqawi's death on a main Islamic forum.
I like the dancing banana in the chador.

It's sad. The Iraqi people seem to be closer to reality than the Bush administration.
Just like Vietnam, but different. We will win nearly every battle but lose the war. Just wait. You'll see.
Best to withdraw while we can, save money and lives, work towards peace with the Muslim world... we're going to make terrorism a bigger problem in the future than it is now.
The problem of terrorism is not the terrists vs America... as most people see it. It's a philosophical struggle within Islam. It's only going to be solved by Muslims choosing to abandon more radical and puritanical ideals in favor of moderation. And our actions and policies in the region are driving more people towards fundamentalism and violence. Many people are going to grow up hating the US because of the occupation, because of our presence in the region... and holding a grudge is something of a matter of pride in Islam.
We can only work to solve this by making our presence scarce... working towards righting the wrongs. And... GOD FORBID... maybe issuing an APOLOGY for killing innocent people? That might go a long way towards building a lot of good will. The US needs some serious PR work. Not a military solution. Let the rest of the Muslim world worry about the Wahabis. Work with our allies in the region. Be a silent partner to protect our oil interests. But we don't need to maintain military bases. We don't need to occupy any countries.
Many morons will tell you, "WE NEED TO KILL THEM ALL". Really, huh? You are going to become the thought police and kill every single person who believes in a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam? Every single person who preaches jihad? Every person who harbors ill will towards America?
That's a lot of people you are going to have to kill. It smacks of genocide, IMO.
Maybe if we're not flushing hundreds of billions of dollars down the toilet on silly wars, we could use that money to protect America from such threats. And you know what, such protection is "all purpose". It wouldn't just stop the Islamic fundies... but anyone who would attempt to blow up a building, set off a nuke, release a chemical agent, or whatever. Considering we have some serious security flaws in this country, wouldn't we be better served using our resources for defense, rather than a horribly inefficient offensive effort that only addresses one threat? And to be perfectly frank, we aren't getting a lot for our money.
But then again, I'm just some random internet asshat, what do I know, right?
I'll await the inevitable dumbass responses to my post. joncha tells me I shouldn't bother with any serious posting... that I should just troll you idiots. For some reason, I still feel that there is hope for you retards. But I'll say this. Some people understand that my posting style is deliberate, calculated, and that I am essentially a character. For those of you that are unable to seperate a serious post from my usual asshattery, I'll say this:
GET A CLUE!
Hear hear!!! The problem is not really hatred toward America... In the end it's all about the powerstruggle in the Near-East among the muslims
