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was accompanied by a picture of our hairy terrorist friend wearing something that looked very Jedi-like (but has now been replaced by another picture of Mohammed, as well as a really risque picture of his pole-loving daughter).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.

From the Hamas website:

Gee, you’d have thought they would have learned after Yahya Ayyash.

From the Department of Wasted Taxpayers’ Dollars:

A Jerusalem court has awarded three Israeli far-right activists NIS 4.500 (that should read 4,500 - ed.) each in damages after they were detained by Jerusalem police for publicly celebrating the death of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat four years ago, court documents released Sunday showed.

The three men, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Baruch Ben-Yosef and Israel Bramnson, had been taken in for questioning by police after holding an honorary barbecue in a central Jerusalem square in November 2004 following news of Arafat’s death.

The three activists, who had filed suit against the State, were detained by police for three hours after refusing to vacate the site, and were later released without being charged.

“The venue in which the plaintiffs chose to express their joy is one of the city’s hubs and is no stranger to rallies and demonstrations,” Judge Aryeh Romanoff wrote in his ruling, rejecting the state’s claim the group caused a public disturbance by the gathering.

If celebrating the death of arch terrorist Arafat makes someone far-right, then I’m guessing most of Israel would be far-right.

Meanwhile, 4,500 NIS multipled by 3 will buy a hell of a lot of steak.

What do you say, guys?

It looks like hell is about to gain a new resident.

Or rather an old one returning home.

Miriam Farhat, the Palestinian mother who became famous in 2002 when she appeared in a video encouraging her son to attack a Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip, was reported Thursday to be in critical condition after suffering a massive heart attack.

“When I see all the Jews in Palestine killed, that will be enough for me,” she said on camera. “I wish he will kill as many as he can, so they will be scared.”

Her son Muhammad, 19, killed five teenagers and wounded 23 people at Atzmona before he was shot dead in March of that year.

Hamas seized the opportunity of her illness to exert pressure on the Egyptians to reopen the Rafah border crossing so that she could be transferred to an Egyptian hospital.

The Egyptians initially refused to allow her in, but later succumbed to the pressure and reopened the crossing.

Farhat’s eldest son, Nidal, was killed in 2003 while he was preparing for another attack. A third son, Rawad, died in an IAF raid on his vehicle in 2005.

The death of her three sons earned Farhat the title “Mother of Martyrs” and turned her into a heroic symbol of the second intifada in the eyes of many Palestinians.

Farhat, 59, was elected as a Hamas representative in the parliamentary elections that were held in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in January 2006.

As she lay in the intensive care unit at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, Hamas leaders appealed to Egypt to reopen the Rafah border crossing immediately to enable Farhat to receive medical treatment in Cairo.

Relations between Hamas and Egypt have been strained lately after Hamas officials accused Cairo of failing to fulfill a promise to reopen the Rafah crossing in the aftermath of the cease-fire agreement that was reached with Israel last month.

Tensions between the two parties escalated last week when some Hamas officials said that Egypt was not an “honest broker” in the talks over the release of kidnapped St.-Sgt Gilad Schalit. The officials said that Hamas would not resume talks over the release of Schalit until the Egyptians agreed to reopen the border crossing.

Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh was among the first to visit Farhat in hospital. Emerging from the intensive care unit, Haniyeh urged the Egyptians to reopen the crossing to “save her life.” He said that the time has come to reopen Rafah permanently.

“More than 1.5 million Palestinians have been living in a big prison [in the Gaza Strip] for the past 14 months,” he said.

“The siege has resulted in the death of more than 215 Palestinians who were unable to receive medical treatment outside the Gaza Strip.”

Hamas Health Minister Bassem Naim also made an urgent appeal to his Egyptian counterpart to allow Farhat to be moved to a hospital in Cairo.

Earlier, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum accused Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak of “participating in the siege on the Gaza Strip.” He said the continued blockade was aimed at “blackmailing” Hamas.

“Mubarak and Abbas bear the responsibility for the ongoing catastrophe in the Gaza Strip,” he added, warning that Farhat, who is popularly known as Umm Nidal, was in urgent need of advanced medical treatment.

“The Mother of Martyrs is dying and the Arab world does not seem to care,” a Hamas representative told The Jerusalem Post. “It’s a disgrace that a Palestinian woman who sacrificed three of her sons for the cause is being barred from receiving proper medical treatment in an Arab country.”

Another Hamas official warned that Farhat’s death could trigger a wave of anti-Egyptian protests throughout the Gaza Strip. “If the woman dies because she is denied medical treatment in Egypt, the entire Gaza Strip will explode,” he said.

“I don’t rule out the possibility that much of the anger would be directed toward Egypt and that people would try to storm the Rafah border crossing.”

The video in which she appeared saying farewell to her son Muhammad before he set out on his suicidal mission came as shock to many.

Asked why she had encouraged her sons to carry out attacks, Farhat said that she wished she had 100 sons to sacrifice that way.

In a series of interviews with the Palestinian and Arab media, Farhat admitted that after the death of her first son had she encouraged her other sons to follow in his footsteps and become shahids (martyrs): “After the martyrdom [operation], my heart was peaceful about Muhammad. I encouraged all my sons to die a martyr’s death, and I wish this even for myself.”

Looks like her heart ain’t too peaceful about Muhammad now.

Talk about giving mothers a bad name.

Israeli terror enabler and Janeane Garofalo lookalike Tali Fahima has turned on her (apparently) ex-terrorist, (definitely) ex-lover Zakariya Zubeidi.

It seems she only likes a guy with a big gun and the knowledge on how to use it (killing Jews).

Tali Fahima, a Jewish Israeli woman who was tried and convicted for her contacts with Zakariya Zubeidi, former Jenin chief of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, criticized Zubeidi on Thursday, saying that he had turned into the “whore of the Shin Bet security service.”

Speaking to Channel 10 news, Fahima complained that Zubeidi, who was once on Israel’s most wanted list for his role in the Palestinian resistance, was now on friendly terms with the Shin Bet when it served his purposes.

Fahima referred to Zubeidi’s recent request that the Shin Bet allow him leave the West Bank city of Jenin and undergo eye surgery in Ramallah.

The Shin Bet had removed Zubeidi from its most wanted list in a gesture to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas last year, along with other militants who turned in their weapons, on the condition that they refrain from leaving the city in which they live, under close Palestinian police supervision. Fahima’s rage was sparked when Zubeidi negotiated with the Shin Bet, which he professed to view as his enemy, over permission to leave Jenin to go to Ramallah.

Fahima, who served two years in prison for charges which include supporting a terror organization and aiding an enemy during wartime, told Channel 10 “I refuse to see him and I won’t even speak to him.” She explained that it was Zubeidi’s duty to inform the Palestinian people that he had negotiated with the Shin Bet to further his own personal needs.

Fahima added that Zubeidi “talks about his private pleasures, like being able to travel around without an [IDF] drone following him, like the occupation is over, like everything is fine - It was nice to believe in the fairy tale, but there are no fairy tales in the resistance. Zubeidi is a disgrace to the resistance. We are still living under an occupation.”

However, Fahima added in a personal jab that Zubeidi “is not a big terrorist. A man who fires bullets into the air is not a big terrorist.”

Zubeidi responded to Fahima’s remarks, saying “this is the first time in eight years that I’ve left [the West Bank city of] Jenin. I came to Ramallah to take care of my eyes that were hurt from an explosive device.”

“Tali Fahima only experienced a small part of the Palestinian people’s problems,” he added.

Yep. This story sure has a whore, and it isn’t Zakariya Zubeidi.

Fancy a Hezburger to UNIFIL you up?

A fast-food restaurant in Beirut’s war-torn southern suburb has hit upon an explosive way to attract customers.

Buns and Guns is made out to look like a military post and diners eat to the sound of gunfire instead of muzak.

Owner Yousef Ibrahim presents rebranded Lebanese favourites like the “rocket-propelled grenade” (chicken on a skewer) and “terrorist bread”.

“They accuse us of terrorism, so let’s serve terrorist bread, why not?” Mr Ibrahim told Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV.

Other dishes include the Kalashnikov, Dragunov, Viper, B52, while realistic-looking weapons and ammunition decorate the counters, and camouflage netting hangs from the ceiling.

Beirut has recently passed through another round of civil strife when pro-government partisans and those of the Hezbollah-led opposition fought street battles in west Beirut.

But that does not necessarily mean that the customers think the restaurant is in bad taste.

Buns and Guns (motto: A sandwich can kill you) is located in a strongly Hezbollah-supporting area, where the group’s militia is lionised by many.

“My goal was to make people laugh before they ask me why weapons. The important thing is that they laugh,” Mr Ibrahim said.

He insists the only way his sandwiches could kill the customers is by their generous proportions.

“It attracts customers in an unconventional way. You noticed the moment I opened the restaurant, there was a lot of business,” he told the al-Manar correspondent, who later tucked into an RPG sandwich.

Hmm..they might want to rethink the name.

From time to time, I enjoy browsing Hamas’ website for a bit of a chuckle.

Between it’s poor English and its special martyrs section replete with ridiculous descriptions (currently, Anees Yousif Mosa -”The patient man” - has front page billing), it’s fun for the whole family.

Ok, not quite. But it sometimes provides good grist for my mill.

Case in point: today I visited the site, and was greeted with this picture of one of their “martyrs” - Sheak (!) Salah Shahada

Sheak Salah Shahada - “The big chicken”?
