Taliban Smoked Out of Pot Forest Note to self: when fighting militants in a giant forest made of pot, it's best not to try to burn the place down (unless you've got time to make a run for some munchies, that is). Canadian troops in Afghanistan found this out the hard way. Reuters reports the troops were fighting Taliban militants when they were met with a greener, more potent enemy: a 10-foot-tall marijuana forest. The Taliban fighters were using the dense thicket of plants for cover, so the troops were forced to eliminate the weedy threat. "The challenge is that marijuana plants absorb energy and heat very readily. It's very difficult to penetrate with thermal devices ... and as a result you really have to be careful that the Taliban don't dodge in and out of those marijuana forests," General Rick Hillier said in a speech in Ottawa. "A couple of brown plants on the edges of some of those (forests) did catch on fire. But a section of soldiers that was downwind from that had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course of action," Hiller said. Hillier added that after the fight, a soldier said: "Sir, three years ago before I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That damn marijuana'."

I wonder how you can see "humour" in this fictionalised, sacriligeous dialogue when you (1) broke up a holy phrase ("Allahu Akbar", God is Great) which Muslims repeat in their adhaan and holy liturgy into two, rather somewhat meaningless syllables, and (2) imply that Muslims tatoo this phrase on their backs, when tatoos and tatooing is not only forbidden in Islam, but is the last thing a God-fearing Muslim would ever think of. - MENJ
It sure does not look good on you when I point out your (lack of) knowledge about Islam, does it? - MENJ
Actually, I think your obvious lack of humor or the ability to see a non-serious post in a non-serious subject exposes a lot more about yourself
1. We don't give a damn if Muslims don't dig tats. 2. We're familiar with the phrase Allahu Akbar only because it's what your little terrorist friends chant when they are murdering innocent people. We take murdering innocent people really seriously, we don't take tat jokes seriously at all.
I don't think Menji saw the movie either, so he is left just thinking someone is trying to insult him.
Speaks a lot for your respect of religions, does it not? And so does the muezzin who calls from the minarets of every mosque in the world, and so do some 1.3 billion people all over the world who repeat it in their prayers and liturgy. - MENJ You mean Dude, Where's My Car? Been there, done that. - MENJ You sure did not indicate that you "know". - MENJ I do not see any "humour" in sacrilege. - MENJ
