Is Al Qaida merely trying to subvert the profiling of Middle Easterners or is it trying to broaden profiling efforts so that it angers sufficient groups of non-whites to instigate a race war? Shades of Helter-Skelter...

Whatever. I think any effort to broaden its recruiting base is doomed.

Iran lost any claim to credibility by putting out hit orders on novelists. The Islamists are fast approaching the point of doing equally inane stuff.

Perhaps they'll start sending out hitmen to kill Net posters who dare critique anything Arab or Muslim...

Infidelity

They who crouch in caves of fear
bravely preaching suicide as the drug of choice
to their young and passionate men
wear the veil of cowardice
that bullies require to control
women and creation and the freedom
to think and to act; they
control exactly what
they fear
most
crouching in caves
whining
and
selling
the
whine
in Quran shaped flasks
that contain
no pages no lessons no prayers
just
the empty
bladders
of
pigs.
