    No no no no. He isn’t a suicide bomber YET. Can you do an interview with a rapist who hasn’t raped anyone? A robber who hasn’t robbed?
    It is impossible to interview a suicide bomber.

    Crap, I thought it’d be Achmed, the Dead Terrorist.

    SILENCE! I KILL you!

    Another religious fanatic justifying anything in the name of god. These guys are on the extreme end of the loony bell curve.

    Thank goodness the prevalent religion in America (you know, the nice one) is largely under control by separation of church and state.

    With Iraq becoming a powder keg again. I really expect our troops to remain intact for some time to come. Seems as though its already falling appart. We just do not understand that these factions will never get along. Its perpetual war.

    I can cure him. I’ll taze him after each answer.

    Frightening. How can you reason with a true believer?

    Amazing! He sounds like the Obama apologists in the blog. “I do it because my leader told me to”

    #4 Yet, he looks so much like you… Maybe that’s why you hate him so much

    #8 You can’t. See #4

    Agreed. He is not a suicide bomber yet. Solution is to take him to an empty field and let him suicide bomb where bystanders won’t get hurt.

    This channels Rowen and Martin, 1979:

    So you’re a Taliban suicide bomber, and you’ve agreed to be interviewed.

    Yes. Now?

    No no no no no. Interviewed isn’t the same as blowing up on camera.

    Oh, I get it. NOW???

    Wait, stop. I haven’t even asked a question…

    I was struck by how anti-intellectual he was.

    To him, a fatwa by “some Arab scholar” outweighed centuries of well-known an well-established Islamic ruling against suicide and the killing of innocents.

    He’s willing to die, kill and devastate but he won’t spend ten minutes of research on the subject.

    It reminds me of people in America who call up talk shows or spend hours on the internet demanding we “nuke ‘em all” — yet they refuse to do even the lightest research about who they want to wipe-out.

    What a load of crap, Pedro.

    I am constantly amazed at the conservatives’ ability to project all their own worst traits on liberals.

    The conservatives WILDLY CHEER LED Bush & Co. while they betrayed nearly every conservative principle as they sent America careening into the ditch.

    #9 Canuk, I’ve seen excerpts from it but not the whole thing. Of course, this is seen as OK because the loonies here don’t wear a turban.

    #10 Pedrito, so what do you do here on earth to be admitted to the kingdom? Do you strap one on (a bomb, not your dildo) just your ordinary holier than thou bigot?

    #16 LOL. Like the pic

    I did see Jesus Camp.

    I am one of the few people I know who has personally known both Christian and Muslim fundamentalists.

    I see lots of similarities between the two groups.

    As joke goes — the main difference between Christian and Muslim fundamentalists is the delivery method of their bombs.

    Seriously, this terorist’s startling arbitrary irrational absolutism is very similar to what I hear from my Christian fundamentalist friends.

    Also, his cruel “group think” seems to be universal among violent fundamentalists, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh or atheists.

    You gotta be kidding me — calling his hat “gay” is the best you can come up with after watching that interview?

    Many many Muslim men in Pakistan wear that hat or a similar one in all kinds of countries.

    You have to admit — it’s no more “gay” than those dandy fancy-pants cowboy hats so many American wear.
