#151 Masadi,

So the mainstream media would be happy polishing the boots but what about lulu.com.
In lululand, people will not listen to any bs. They will objectively analyse the facts. And derive intelligent conclusions. Like yours, Masadi.

Saddam is a martyr, says Sena mouthpiece
Mahesh Mhatre
Mumbai, January 2 : Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamna has strongly criticised the hanging of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

“Saddam was sentenced to death for mass killing, but if we use the same yardstick for America we will have to hang President Bush a thousand times,” says the editorial of the daily. Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray is the editor of Saamna.

Thackeray praises Saddam for his fight with the American government. His paper has been publishing pro-Saddam news reports and articles over the last few days. On Monday, it published a full-sized editorial calling the Iraqi dictator a “martyr”.

my insider sourced tell me that killing of saddam was done to apease bood-thirsty shiite-militias..with the promise that if they are allowed to ``have their way`` with the baathist regime elements, they will then stop the violence against iraqi civilians. amrican forces will at this point take tough action against militias on the grounds that they were given their chance at blood-letting, and associated political milage amongst their constituency (i.e. sadr city, marsh-arabs etc). so with this ritual slaughter a new peace shall ensue ..at least that is the idea.

regarding crusades vs gajnavi, noone in christiandom glorifies them as great acts of religiocity..no comparison. weirdest thing is pakis who got the brunt of the rape and pillage worship gajnavi...go figure.

Arjun #156 {``#122 by Salim_Chauhan on January 2, 2007 7:17pm PT
when were the last crusades? ``}

Arjun,
The First Crusade was called by Pope Urban II in 1097, culminating in the sack of Jerusalem in 1099 accompanied by the wholesale massacre of its Muslim and Jewish inhabitants.
The most recent Crusade was called by Pope Bush II in 2001, when he said ``This is a Crusade`` in the White House lawn, this culminated in the bombing and occupation of both Afaghanistan (2001) and Eye Rack (2003) accompanied by the deaths of thousands of Eye Rackis, Afghans, Americans, British, Eye Tallians, and others.

This history lesson is free - the next one may cost ya.

Re: # 149

majumdar,

....... i think it is okay to discuss gandhiji on this board - he was a bigger threat to mankind than saddam ............

........ as derek zoolander said , ``have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking`` ........... gandhi was killed by the male models and the fashion industry - and he deserved it ! ............ it is over, so live with it ...

And now, in typically Muslim fashion, the issue over the Sadman Houston execution fiasco has surfaced as a witch hunt for the culprit who recorded the hanging. Astonishingly, the behavior of the taunting Shia executioners is not the glaring problem. The grief is over who had the audacity to expose this travesty and mockery of a state execution. Once again, the traditional Muslim practice of controlling the truth about an evil act takes precedence over the evil act itself.

Nations that write their own history survive, those that let their enemies do it for them - are doomed to be subdued and lost in history.

Well said Akber Saheb. I hope someone listens.

there`s a top secret project on in India to resurrect the g-man from the dead so he can be tried...

Once that`s developed, we`ll let you in on the technology so you can resurrect the killers of millions of bengalis in 71 and try them...

deal?
