Hysterical Insanity

[Elphaba]

You've got to listen to this video of London-based Islamist Hani al-Sibai debating—maybe "haranguing" is the right word here—a brave Egyptian liberal who patiently explains, using Gaza as an example, that "The ballot box alone doesn't constitute democracy" and that Hamas must follow through by ruling democratically.

Note al-Sibai's hilarious/bizarre digression on why the English eat turkey on Christmas.

Idiot Islamofascist

I'm not looking for a discussion or debate. I just thought you'd all enjoy this.

Edited later: If you don't want to watch the whole thing, at least got to 3:32. It really is funny.

Could you believe that??!?!?!

Thank goodness the man from Egypt was talking halfway sensible. But with people talking like the Islamist, I don't know if we have a chance!

Not when it is controlled and you can't vote for whom you want.

I think that was his point.

Did you like the Turkey part?

I know what he meant Elphaba. I did watch the turkey part. I'll have to go back and watch the whole thing. I only watched half, left the comp. and then came back to another thread.

OK, I saw it. Funny/sad /

I don't see the problem exporting a few turkeys.....it's not as if they are symbolic of politicians.

In Sweden the Islamic cleric would be in trouble for saying that Turks in Europe are drug dealers and outcastes. Sensitivity thing and all.
