In an episode of the 3 Stooges, the boys attempted to pass themselves off as kilt wearing Scotsmen, but when asked if they would perform one of there native dances, Curly whispered to the others "I'm not taken my clothes for anyone"

I thought this was interesting...

Why go after Obama?
National security experts believe al-Qaeda was surprised that America, “The Great Satan,” would elect a Black president with an Arabic middle name, and that Obama’s election puts doubt in the minds of terrorist recruits that America deserves to be destroyed.

Some experts believe that al-Qaeda has been trying to refocus its messaging to gain a recruiting foothold by sewing political and racial discontent among African-American Muslims, who form the single most numerous group in the U.S. Muslim community.

The term has a history of it's own and it's not nice. I am not a having a go at you personally but this is an international forum.

I know quite a few Australians whom use the word "native" in a derogatory fashion, I have always found it hilarious because white Australians are hardly visitors to a foreign country anymore.

I seldom quote Churchill. His papa famously threatened to "play the Orange Card" and Winston himself is unforgettable for his comment about "the dreary steeples of Fermanagh and Tyrone". I would hate to tell you what I said about him at a quango the night before his funeral - but I don't regret a word of it.

There have been very few posts on topic in this thread.

While some deviation has been fun and interesting, and I have enjoyed it, it has morphed into a subject matter of its own.

Let's get back to the topic of Al-Qaida's threats against our new President elect, or this thread will be closed.

Thank you all for your understanding and cooperation...

Alice, Moderator
