Is that an Allah in your rotten mango or are you just happy to see me completely off your rocker?

Rubina Sheikh from Helsingborg in southern Sweden believes she’s received a message from God – in a rotten mango.

As the two halves of Sheikh’s freshly sliced mango fell away from her knife last Saturday, she discovered what she says is a sign from God.

“When I sliced the mango in two, ‘Allah’ was written in one half and ‘Muhammad’ in the other. It’s a miracle, a sign from Allah,” said Sheikh to the Metro newspaper.

The practicing Muslim is convinced that the black lines emanating through the fruit form characters in Arabic which spell the holy words.

And local Muslims have been streaming in to see the miracle for themselves.

“I’d heard of the phenomenon earlier, but never before seen it with my own eyes,” Ghulam Mughal told Metro.

But an emeritus professor in Islam from nearby Lund University is less convinced the rotting fruit is a sign from Allah.

“There are 14 recognized ways to create the word ‘Allah’. When you think about how many mangoes there are out there, it’s not strange that one of them has a pattern which can be interpreted to be the right combination of characters,” said Jan Hjärpe to Metro.

Incidentally, this is not the first time something has been sliced in two for the name of Allah.

I’m now preparing for the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana, which means you won’t be hearing from me for a couple of days.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish my readers  a happy, healthy and prosperous year.

Hazem Abu Shanab, a spokesman of the Fatah movement in Gaza, hugs his sons after he was released from Hamas security forces jail in Gaza September 28, 2008. Hamas security forces released 35 people on Sunday, including five senior leaders of President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement. Hamas said the releases were in order to help the Egyptian-mediated reconciliation talks succeed, and to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid el-Fitr.

Introducing our latest weapon: Zionist Sinking Weapon of Confusion.^TM

It sinks boats…or does it?

Shots were fired by the Israeli military on Gazan fishermen of the Rafah shore on Sunday afternoon, sinking the fishing boat and endangering the lives of those aboard.

According to the de facto ministry of agriculture the sinking vessel and its operators were rescued by nearby boats. Omar Al-Habeel, the owner of the boat, said it was cracked down the side, but rescued from sinking.

Incidentally, the above Ma’an News article is titled: Gazan fiserman’s boat sunk by Israeli fire in local waters.

Yeah, it says fiserman.

Hollywood actor, philanthropist, and all-round nice guy Paul Newman, who passed away a few days ago, was so well respected, that even the bad guys marked his death.

Even conservative Muslim Iran, which would not usually concern itself with reporting on a Western film star, marked his death. Two pro-reform newspapers displayed the actor on front pages while Iran’s state media also reported his death.

The Etemad newspaper, published Newman’s picture, saying “Fading away the last classic star” and the Kargozaran daily said “End of the blue-eyed boy.”

I’m guessing they never saw Exodus, nor read this Time Magazine article:

The journey to this poignant, uneven movie, through a succession of worse and better ones, began in Cleveland Heights, a comfortable suburb of Cleveland, where Paul was born in 1925. He was the second son of Arthur S. Newman, a prosperous Jewish partner in a sporting-goods store, and Theresa Fetzer, a Hungarian-descended Catholic. By the time Paul and his brother Arthur, now 58, a film production manager living in Lake Arrowhead, Calif., were children, Theresa was a Christian Scientist. Paul’s exposure to that faith did not make any lasting impression (he has followed no religion as an adult, but calls himself a Jew, “because it’s more of a challenge”).

Our latest podcast is out and, even though I’m not hosting, I do appear with a short piece talking about the Paul McCartney concert in Tel Aviv.

Meryl Yourish also has a tremendous piece comparing side by side the speech given by Ahmadinejad at the UN and speeches and writing of Hitler. It’s a simple case of search for Jew, replace with Zionist. Sick stuff and the world clapped and kissed him on both cheeks.

The feautre interview is with Rusty Shackleford of My Pet Jawa who has been doing the kind of digging that the main stream media should be doing. And would be doing except that the story is about the Chosen One.

Feel free to pass this on or let me know what you think about me highlighting shows here: I try to make sure I only do this when the show contains Israellycool related content! (Which is often!)

This one’s just begging for a caption.

Gabbyspoppy at Pro-Semite Undercover has seemingly set off anti-Israel blogger Richard Silverstein with some comments that include this:

He [Silverstein] also has for sale his photography (which mostly consists of pictures of his kids) cornering the pedophile market. But what the heck, a dollar is a dollar.

Silverstein’s response to this is predictable. He tries to turn it around, suggesting that the pedophilia reference would seem to suggest Gabbyspoppy’s predilection for it.

I am not stupid enough to suggest Richard Silverstein - as loathsome as his views and his treatment of people with whom he disagrees are - is a pedophile. But I do find it offputting that he would be offering for sale personal pictures - including those of his children - given the very real risk that pedophiles could purchase them.

I think Gabbyspoppy has a point. Silverstein does seem to be putting his pursuit of money ahead of the welfare of his family.

Introducing our latest weapon: Zionist Orange Uniforms of Death.^TM

The supreme committee of Hamas captives in Zionist jails has rejected on Thursday the decision of the Zionist prison authority (IPA) of changing the brown uniform of the captives to orange.

In a statement it issued and a copy of which was obtained by the PIC, the committee explained that the orange uniform would produce adverse psychological repercussions on the prisoners because it is known to be the uniform of those sentenced to death, and it would replicate the picture of the captives in the infamous US concentration camp in Guantanamu.

“A number of Zionist politicians had repeatedly insisted that the Palestinian prisoners in Zionist jails must be regarded and dealt with as “terrorists”, and not as political prisoners or prisoners of war and freedom fighters”, the statement pointed out.

Moreover, the committee warned if the decision is implemented, it would waste many of the legal rights of the Palestinian and Arab captives that were obtained through precious sacrifices.

“The uniform replicates the uniform the Jewish prisoners used to wear in the Nazi concentration camps [during WWII], and bears the same sign of the old one indicating that anyone wears the uniform would be liquidated” (Actually, Jews wore blue and gray striped prison uniforms in the concentration camps - ed.)

Furthermore, the committee disclosed that the uniform bears two phosphoric reflector lines at the back, chest, and the two legs that would make the captives an easy target to Zionist snipers at night.

Ingenious, aren’t we? Capture palestinians, place them in prison and then sniper-shoot them at night. Because just killing them to begin with would just be too simple.

In any event, I would actually agree with Hamas that brown would be the more appropriate color. After all, they are full of sh*t.

Introducing our latest potential recruit:

Colin Farrell is reportedly abandoning his Catholic faith to convert to Judaism for new girlfriend Emma Forrest.

The actor, 32, has been dating British novelist Forrest since June, but the romance appears to be turning serious.

The couple attended a West Hollywood party for Heeb magazine at MBar earlier this month, where Farrell was seen wearing a chain with a Star of David pendant around his neck, according to the New York Post’s Page Six.

A source adds that Forrest was seen doing “a striptease burlesque act to traditional Jewish music”.

Colin Farrell a Jew? No #@@!$!% way!

A few days ago, I posted how the daughter of radical Islamic cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed is reportedly a pole dancer. At the time, the article was accompanied by a picture of our hairy terrorist friend wearing something that looked very Jedi-like (but has now been replaced by another picture of Mohammed, as well as a really risque picture of his pole-loving daughter). See for yourself:

Not only that, but Obi Mohammed could be a shorthand way of saying Omar Bakri Mohammed.

Now I see the article has been extended, including this paragraph:

Perhaps predictably Bakri, now exiled to Lebanon, dismissed the news as a ‘ fabrication’ and described it as an attack on him and Islam.

‘The more you put pressure on me, the stronger I become. Islam will conquer Britain,’ he said.

Freaky.
