How exactly does one plead insanity under Sharia Law?
Steve Martin's classic "Hostages" routine: I finally got something that I wanted, something that I didn't have. I saw on TV people having these things, and so many people had them and I thought, ehey, Ifd like to take some hostages too! So i took some, stuck them in a sack and now they'fre out on the flagpole, and I'm going to blow them up at midnight. The letter "X" soon may be banned in Saudi Arabia because it resembles the mother of all banned religious symbols in the oil kingdom: the cross. Here's the 64,000 Riyal question: How exactly do you cross out an X? It's not like you can just X it out, because you end up with an even bigger X. Or as my friend Uncle Guido says, "In Riyadh, they play Tic Tac Toe with real toes." 20 Responses To "How exactly does one plead insanity under Sharia Law?"
I thought being a muslim automatically made one insane. Am I incorrect in my hypothesis? #1 - Posted by: Robert on February 16, 2007 04:04 PMHow about "cross"-streets, huh? Ban all maps too? At least there's no problem with women drivers... #2 - Posted by: ktel60 on February 16, 2007 04:10 PMSeem's like a moot point to me. I can't say that I've seen the use of that letter in many translations of Arabish. On the other hand, that's going to put the kibosh on all of my "Merry X-mas" cards to the royal family during the holidays. And how in the hell are they going to market video rentals for 'The X-Men', 'The X Files', and 'American History X'? #3 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 16, 2007 04:20 PMNot to mention, "Malcolm X". #4 - Posted by: IllTemperedCur on February 16, 2007 04:48 PMWOOHOO! I was hoping someone would say that! The obvious conflict of interests there is going to be fun to read about. #5 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 16, 2007 05:04 PMSo... "x" is to be banned but "t" is ok ? Wacky Muslims. #6 - Posted by: Noah Bawdy on February 16, 2007 05:13 PMThe muslim world has always been a bit sideways, so the letter t actually looks less conspicuously like a cross. Keep that under your hat or the hajis might ban that too. #7 - Posted by: DesertElephant on February 16, 2007 06:19 PMWhen the letter "x" is outlawed only outlaws will have the letter "X." And mathematicians. Have an Evil day. #8 - Posted by: DrEvil on February 16, 2007 06:41 PMIs this possibly because "x" also stands for love, especially at the end of a letter? We can see how much love there is in the muslim world...oh, I'm sorry...according to the libs, muslims blow stuff up to show their love. #9 - Posted by: Wolfman Dan on February 16, 2007 07:31 PMAlan, all I have to say is... GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!!! ...and modesty is for wusses. #10 - Posted by: IllTemperedCur on February 16, 2007 08:00 PMDoesn't the "t" look a LOT more like the cross than the "x?" Goddamn, the Saudis are stupid. #11 - Posted by: NMUSpidey on February 16, 2007 09:33 PMNuke Mecca and they'll be X-tinct. #12 - Posted by: Tommy the Towelhead on February 17, 2007 12:29 AMI once went to a lecture where a prominent professor, while liking arabs and being very sympathetic to them, noted their mental plight at length. They are taught to memorize the Koran, so they have excellent memorization skills. However, they cannot analyze anything in detail requiring forming an idea as to why things happen because "It's the will of Allah and you can't question it" is the answer to everything. So they have to import scientists, engineers, doctors, mechanics, et al from non-muslim nations. This doesn't do the "we are superior to everyone else and everyone else knows it" precept of their culture much good, since they are completely dependent on the outside world to run and maintain their technology. Little wonder they want to go back to the 13th century. They could pretend they were right then. The Top Ten Problems Arising from the Elimination of "X" 10. Saudis couldn't use Roman Numerals. They would miss the Super Bowl most years. 9. They couldn't do simple algebra. 8. More advanced Saudis couldn't do vector math either. (No cross product function.) 7. They couldn't ride the roller coaster at Six Flags. 6. An illerate Saudi couldn't endorse a check. 5. They couldn't trade U.S. Steel stock. 4. They couldn't watch dirty movies. 3. They couldn't play tic-tac-toe. 2. Their doctors couldn't use X-rays. And... Number 1! 1. Arab pirates wouldn't be able to use a treasure map. #14 - Posted by: Ernie G on February 17, 2007 11:18 AMFine. I'll show them. I'm going to stop using the letter "C" bekause it resembles the islamik moon kressent. I'll kompensate by using the letters "k" and "s" if I have to. Here's a thought; Rename the Democrat party as "Party X". Surely the islamofacists will feel the need to eliminate them. #16 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 17, 2007 03:18 PMSo I assume the + sign will be banned from math as well. And I shouldn't use '*' because the asterisk on my computer has six points and that may be a little too much like the Star of David. Ironically, the service "Explorer" that started this mess will be renamed "Pope" to avoid using any letters that look like a Christian Symbol #17 - Posted by: on February 19, 2007 06:57 AMKent, Pretty much all claims of technical and mathematic theorem originating from the Arab world are erroneous. They were actually pioneered by the people of India and Asia, and then passed along by Arab Traders. So, they really don't even have that to hang their turbans on. #18 - Posted by: DesertElephant on February 19, 2007 12:24 PMPretty much all claims of technical and mathematic theorem originating from the Arab world are erroneous. They were actually pioneered by the people of India and Asia, and then passed along by Arab Traders. So, they really don't even have that to hang their turbans on. And what they didn't grab from them, they grabbed from the Greeks via conquering, I mean, adopting the Byzantines. #19 - Posted by: Basilisk on February 19, 2007 03:44 PMYup Yup. So even the so-called "Golden Age of Islam" was really just claiming credit or the work of others. #20 - Posted by: DesertElephant on February 19, 2007 06:11 PMPost a comment
