What if Iran hit Israel with a nuke weapon? Would BBC refuse to launch an appeal for the Israelis? Why does Israel receive so much coverage when it is the 149th in area, 95th in population, 38th in GDP? Is it because they are troublesome people? I dont get it.

You might be a Jihadass terrorist if:

...You own a $3000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you cant feed your children.

...You have more wives than teeth.

...You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide.

...You can't think of anyone you HAVEN'T declared Jihad against.

...You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs.

Jihadists: the people that invented letter bombs, skyjackings, suicide bombers and IEDs...wonderful.

machine guns and rocket launchers dont cost $3,000 - $5,000 in arab nations moron. Most of the weapons they use are old, cheap, but effective russian arms.

boy, thats a good thing since the average income is so little, got to scrimp and save wherever they can. You can save a lot when suicide vests go on sale.... LOL, maybe thats why they are so inaccurate when shooting! And my last machine gun, I'm thinking I paid way too much now. Oh well. At least I live in a free country.

[crownroyal111]

You make yourself look real dull when you joke about things which arn't funny and which obviously you dont know much about. Most of those people cannot help the poverty they live in or which country they can live in. And, your foolish if you think that living in the united states is living in a "free country"
