Religion of Peace… oh, and Stoning Women and Babies
June 17th, 2005 at 12:36 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesWhen I mentioned recently that Bono was busy snorting coke off of a hooker’s rack somewhere in Europe, I was mistaken. I blame that on my unreliable sources.
However, it does seem that he was busy getting an education on the Religion of Peace™ in Ethiopia (Where he once failed to “feed the world”).
Bono horrified by attack on aid worker in Ethiopia.
The American woman was oblivious of the offence she was causing, and had to escape the angry onslaught from female Muslims who had no qualms about injuring her or her baby.
Bono recalls, “I remember one vision of the people who are with WORLD VISION, which is an American aid agency.
“One of the women was breast-feeding a child on the horse. She was so comfortable. She didn’t mean to be insensitive.
This must have been a temporary lapse in the ultra-tolerance inherent in islam. Either that, or, due to the technological divide between the world’s haves and have-nots, these women didn’t get the “please don’t stone women and babies” memo sent out from CAIR.
It is important, however, to continue sending aid to muslim African countries like Ethiopia, so that they can afford bigger, better rocks with which to practice their faith repeatedly upon those who do not worship allah.
Bono did later admit that his self-appointed position as the World’s Conscience could now be in jeopardy due to this eye-opening experience.

More from the R.O.P.™ on the home front (well, if you still consider Detroit to be part of America… personally, I don’t…).

Shhhhhhhhh….. Mike. I don’t want anyone to thing we’re broad-brushing an entire religion.

Oh, it was probably just “Sunday, Boody Sunday.” Muslim women get that PMS (Pissed Muslim Stonethrowing) attitude 12 Sunday’s a year. As Michelle Phillips and Mamma Cass used to observe: “Every other day of the week is fine, yeahhh.”

Speaking of comfort…Where is the loyalty?
I come over here for a bit of wit and news, and no longer find myself on the 6MB Crush list.

Rae,
I have to admit I haven’t visited in quite a while and I believe the last time I was at your place you had quit blogging or said you were quitting. Sometimes when folks quit or announce retirements I hastily drop them. Obviously I need to visit more often cuz not only are you back you even have a delightful new header and crushworthy pic. Many apologies!

Fatwas, Fatwas Everywhere and Not a One For Me! (Religion of Peace Update)
There was an election in Iran yesterday, or what passes for an election in a country that proclaims my toilet paper (the Quran) to be the highest law of the land. Persians were asked to vote either for hard…

Hey, Preston.
Awww, I am sorry. I went off the blog for a few weeks while I got some things in order.
And thanks for adding me back, and the sweet compliments, too
