14 U.S. citizens charged with trying to join Somali terror group
The charges in Minnesota are the latest development in an inquiry in that state which has been under way for some time.
Two indictments unsealed in Minnesota on Thursday added five new names to a list of people charged in the investigation in that state. Two were women from the Rochester, Minn., area accused of raising money for al-Shabab.
Roughly 20 men all but one of Somali descent left Minnesota from December 2007 through October 2009 to join al-Shabab, a violent group that seeks to establish an Islamic state in Somalia.
The Taliban has claimed credit for the attack, saying the workers were trying to convert Muslims to Christianity. The gunmen spared an Afghan driver who told police he recited verses from the Islamic holy book the Quran as he begged for his life.
4 others also slain in Taliban ambush on Christian charity workers.
Since when does the right wing have a monopoly on what it is to be Christian?
Does Jesus seem like the type who would start wars against other brown people?
Does Jesus hate homosexuals??? If so, why didn't he convince his father to stop making them?
When Jesus walked the earth, did he spend his time fighting for corporate interests and tax cuts for the rich?
When Jesus fed 5000 people with a fish and a loaf of bread, did he charge those people so he could make a sweet profit?
When Jesus healed the sick, did he send them a bill for his services?
There are those who are truly evil in this world... They are war profiteers and other such parasites. They are bigoted and shallow, and they wear their religion on their sleeve as justification for their own shortcomings.
Then there are the Democrats, who, like Jesus, fight for the least among us. Who are not driven by greed, but rather a sense that we are all in this together, and that there is more to life than just being self centered. I have no trouble reconciling my religion and my politics. I'm really confused about how you are able to though.
Stick that in your pipe and reconsile it byatch! Hell Obama ran for president saying he was a Christian, but he said that to pick up the idiot's like yourself as voters. Later he pronounced his true Muslim faith.
When the real American Christians have to clean up this mess people like yourself should be whipped and crusified while made to watch re-runs of Obama where as you failed to pay attention.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth? Jesus rolled hard core my friend, he wasnt the pussy you make him out to be.

You're starting to sound a lot like Pontius Pilate there Rex... Who am I kidding, you ALWAYS sound like Pontius Pilate.
Thanks to Jesus, we have this thing called the New Testament - which I much prefer living by. My eye's and teeth are safe now. It's time for you to bend over and turn the other cheek.
While I had not really noticed the swastika in the thumb nail, I certianly do not intend on "Bending over" and "Turning the other cheek.
Perhaps the creator of that image was trying to make a hommige to the Indians and their women wearing "Red-Dots" on their foreheads.
As I recall it was the right wing US that killed all the people responsible for killing all of them Jewish Jesus members. But then again I wasnt aware the Jew's celibrated Christmas.
I didn't make the photo, but if push comes to shove Ill be looking out for me, you keep looking out for you.

As I recall Jesus was a Jew.
As I recall our country allied ourselves with left wing communists from Russia, and those liberal wieners in the UK to defeat those right wing fascists in Germany.
I guess our military isn't entirely made of Republicans after all huh?
There is a little bit more to GOD than just his Son. As I recall being told we are all sons of God.
I find it interesting that the Jew's dismiss Jesus, yet we hold him sacred. I know little of the Jewish faith so I am not the person you want to ask about such things.
With regards to Russia and the UK... Well they stood to lose more considering they were all on the same contenent or in the case of the UK a stones throw away. Had they been on their game from the start we wouldnt have had to even waste the time. It shows how the left wing leaves things until they are too late.

A couple of points.... what makes Christians right and everyone else wrong? I count many Jewish people, many Islamic people, Buddhists... you name it... amongst my friends...
Curious that most of your depictions of Jesus Christ show him holding a weapon or flipping the bird to a portion of humanity. Did it ever occur to you that America might be more highly regarded in the modern world if they would just shut the fuck up and stay home?
Look around you... America is not a Christian only nation... Did you know thatCassius Clay (later known as Muhammed Ali) was Muslim... Cat Stevens, now known as Yussef Islam....
In the Statue of Liberty (a gift from a country many Americans have troubles with... to the point of asking for "freedom fries" rather than French fries) is a plaque bearing a sonnet "The New Colossus". This verse never once mentions religion... This verse states that America is free and for the free and will accept anyone in to her flock.... Well... except for niggers and kikes and spics and.... are you getting the point?
Hypocracy appears to be the new religion. Americans are "targets" because they make themselves targets. If you want to tell the rest of us how to do things right.... maye you should start to do things right at home.
FWIW, I am an agnostic...
Germans? They killed members of my family in WW2... probably in WW1 as well. The sins of the father should not be visited upon the son....
If a Christian is the minority in an islamic community it will be the islamic who will be the racist.
If white people are the minority in a black community it will be the black folks who are racist.
This is a two way street, and my making a point of it in no way makes me a racist. I preffer to be among people of my own race and religion because I have been the minority in some cases and I am well aware that reverse racisim is becoming more and more of a problem. Idiots like yourself who want to ACT like it doesnt exist are talking out your ass.
Tell me Pogo, where you live what race/religon is the majority?

For example, I think Obama should establish a no fly zone over Darfur, and walk away from several free trade agreements ie: WTO, Cafta, Nafta, GATT and just deal with countries on a case by case basis in terms of setting tariffs. I also think there should be more buy American provisions written into the stimulus package, but now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure there were until the Republicans stripped that language out.
Oh yeah, and I think he should pull the plug on Afghanistan too, and roll back the Reagan tax cuts.
I don't understand the no fly zone over Dafur, however maybe you could explain that one to me.
I too agree with the buy more American provisions and just about everything else you stated too with the exception that it was Clinton that passed NAFTA.
I only have one little thing to add, and that would be for Obama to step down or produce a long birth certificate, OR unseal all of his records that he had sealed prior to running for President.

There is a genocide in Darfur right now... Nobody cares because there isn't any oil there, but establishing a no fly zone would at least help matters.
I don't care if it was Clinton who passed NAFTA, it sucks, it needs to go, and Clinton should be smacked upside the head for shoving it down our throats.
Obama is a legal citizen, he's not going to bother proving it to you because you'll still hate him even if you saw his long form bc.
Why don't you write a letter to Obama. As much as I feel bad for these people, I think we have our hands full at the moment. Or maybe the Word Bank (which I have never heard of until recently) can contract one of our private military firms to fix the problem. You could also start a thread about Dafur and lay out your facts with some groosome photos to garner some additional sympathy. You have to get the ball rolling somehow.
