AL QAEDA CHIEF SLAMS MUSLIMS FOR LACK OF SUPPORT
Is it just me or does this headline and story read like it was written by the staff of The Onion? From the pages of Aljazeera.com:
AL QAEDA CHIEF SLAMS MUSLIMS FOR LACK OF SUPPORT
Al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri criticised Muslims for failing to support Islamist insurgencies in Iraq and elsewhere in a new audiotape posted Tuesday on the Internet. Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant also blasted Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas over their reported readiness to consider a peace deal with Israel. "I call upon the Muslim nation to fear Allah's question (at judgement day) about its failure to support its brothers of the Mujahedeen (holy Warriors), and (urge it) not to withhold men and money, which is the mainstay of a war," he said
It's hard not to find humor in that story. Not nearly as clever as "Baggage-Handling Mix-Up Sends Dirty Bomb To St. Louis" or "Howard Stern Organizes Women's Health Symposium," but pretty damn close.
