He also said that the US is on its way down, and said it will be gone soon. He ended with an Arab phrase meaning 'god willing'.

He also said the UN should move from NY to Venezuela and should be gutted and started from scratch. I wouldn't be surprised if Kofi Annan agreed and is making arrangements.

What are the odds Chavez converts to Islam in the next 20 years?

Publius Pundit linked to a PowerPoint slideshow a while ago showing the destruction he's brought about in Venezuela since he came to power 8 years ago.

So I guess you could say his times on the pulpit are when he's *least* of a menace.

My guess is that he already has converted to islam. Pretty ironic a minion of satan calling someone else the devil.

sounds a lot like congress.

But Bush is the devil, right? (smarm!)

Third world countries seem to LOVE Islam and Muslims. Despite the fact that Islam has made no contribution to the world at large since algebra and the slightly more advanced technology; terrorism. What gives? It can't be that a lowered socio-economic level combined with a derth of modern medicine make the masses stupid, can it? Could nuclear technology really make the larger countries smarter? I'm totally confounded by this seemingly new outbreak of idiots (Chavez) embracing violent idiots (iranians, Iraqis, et al).

This week's Time has some interesting stuff in it. Not deep analytical stuff, but something to wrap your head around for a little while.

Third world countries seem to LOVE Islam and Muslims.

One of the pieces in the mag was an editorial, the gist of which is, "Yeah, muslims are mad but the pope had a point."

What I found interesting in the article was the distinction between the Catholic view and the Muslim view of god. The Catholic god endowed people with rationality, it was a gift, and a reflection of himself. One of the challenges of faith then is to reconcile this rationality with things that defy them.

On the other hand, Mohammed posited that god's work transcends all that is worldly. The consequence of this, uhhh, pathos is to allow yourself to believe that the crazier you are, the more in tune with god you are. Kind of funny that mainstream muslims think the Sufi's are nuts. So, "Crazy or Terrorist?" might not be quite the clear distinction that we think it is.

So, how did I get here? Third worlders live a pretty bleak existence and have to be pretty freaking crazy to believe that they will ever be able to 'enjoy' life. The are living at the bottom of Maslow's pyramid. So, islam encourages them, in a fundamental way, to entertain the craziness.

The peasants have to have some hope if they are going to rise up against the royalty. Even if we don't think that we are the royalty, they think we are.

Despite the fact that Islam has made no contribution to the world at large since algebra

Ari, algebra was invented by Arabs far before that abomination I-Slam befouled the area. They have made absolutely no advance since they enslaved themselves with that demnted ideology.

I'm totally confounded by this seemingly new outbreak of idiots (Chavez) embracing violent idiots (iranians, Iraqis, et al).

It's a vile combination from centuries of inbreeding and cross breeding. A mutant, mongrel species has formed, barely resembling humanoids wearing Handiwipes™ on their craniums, combined with an insatiable desire to debauch all other four legged creatures.

Some might argue that some of those handiwipes are blaze orange, and that there is a group of this new race living in Georgia and the surrounding states.

Oh yeah... and this Mohammed guy has the very Joseph-Smith-of-the-Mormons quality about him.

Radical. I think if you were British (and thank GOD you aren't)you would be the sort of abomination that votes BNP.

Lots of people have used phrases such as your earlier post, an Austrian Corporal better known as Hitler made them about the Jews. Are you a student of Julius Streicher per chance?

Nick the Dick, I could never be British - I have all my teeth and they are white and straight (insert predictable racist remark about white and straight). That being said, aside from you and your Al Qeada fellow travelers, I love everything British.

Original! Awfully early in the day to be already Godwining™. I win!

I actually agree with Red, that Islam is currently hijacked by extremists. I disagree with the manner in which he says it but I do agree.

Unfortunately seperating the extremists from the Islamic culture is proving to be getting more difficult with each action the U.S. takes.

Am just stunned that Radical has actually heard of Julius Streicher.

OK Fess up who pointed him in the right direction?

Typically our brit/clit responds with smarmy elitism after getting his ass pummeled.

Your dismal smokescreen failed - you're a joke.

Brit/clit? is that the best you can come up with?

Smarmy elitism? Yeah OK but I actually have the intellect to ber smarmy and elitist. You by comparison are a vitriolic, racist bigot with precisely ZERO knowledge of what comes out of your mouth. You are what the Russians call Nekulturny.

As the possessor of an Upper Second Class Honours Degree in History (and currently undertaking a Masters Degree) I fell perhaps an inherent duty - Intelligent Mans Burden if you will- to educate the barbarian.

European Knights on the crusades came across several things completely alien to them when in contact with Islamic warriors.

1. Banks. Where'd you think the Templars got the idea from?
2. Eating with cutlery as opposed to ones fingers.
3. Bathing more than once a week.

In addition much modern medicine came to Europe via the Islamic world.

Oh and on topic Chavez is wrong Bush is not the devil.

British people know that the devil is in fact Peter Mandelson. No other way to explain Blair and New Labour.

Nick, I typed up a whole response about Muslim contributions but the key is modern. If the last thing they provided the West is knives and forks then they haven't done shit in like 800 years.

The argument is Modern Islam which would mean well after the Golden Age of Islam.

SO MUCH BILGE, WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN?

Smarmy elitism? Yeah OK but I actually have the intellect to ber smarmy and elitist

Hardly. All you have is the deluded, demented and compulsive ego of a narcissist. And a void of shame by not staying away when you get your gaping sphincter pummeled.

As the possessor of an Upper Second Class Honours Degree in History (and currently undertaking a Masters Degree)

Yawn. Another net braggart spouting phony creds to boost their non existant currency. You couldn't even fill out the application on a matchbook school.

Here's something to ponder anencephalic boy: if this matchbook institution gives you a so-called Masters, you'll only be one behind me (2 in the accredited department).

Banks

Yeah. I-Slams have tremendous banking reputations. Amongst everything else, money lending is forbidden in I-Slam. Where did the jews come in exactly.

Bathing more than once a week

They've certainly progressed from that I can see (and smell - horribly). How long do their weeks last now? Decades?

Is that what you tell your handlers to keep from changing your diapers?

Cunt.
