Thinking back over the years, I can think of some, in fact many women of which this would be a suitable condition of co-working with them. But not all of them, no, not all.

Just in case you thought that some tenets of Islam weren't wacky enough. I should note though, that the story indicates that it's a controversial issue, even within Islam.

Only semi-related, but LGF also has the story on the effects of Nancy's excellent Damascus adventure on Syrian dissidents. Hint: it ain't pretty:

Mr. al-Bunni is a slight, nervous-looking man, a tireless polymath who, aside from his work defending scores of political prisoners, has helped to found a center offering training in human rights, and has drafted a new constitution for Syria. Last year, he invited a handful of foreign reporters to his home to show them his proposed new constitution, and waved his hands excitedly as he outlined his ideas about what a democratic transition in Syria might look like, how potential power-sharing arguments among Syria’s many ethnic and religious groups could be anticipated and solved.

But Syria’s would-be Thomas Jefferson is in the infamous Adra prison now, and he is known to have been tortured.

Thanks, Nance!

Absolutely hilarious. I wonder if I can get a similar fatwa here at my office?

and he is known to have been tortured.

So basically, the objection is that he was tortured without Bush's permission.

No.

Do you have any other idiotic comments?

That was a rhetorical question--we know you're an endless font of them.

No.

Then why do people like you only object to torture when the perpetrator is a hostile country and the victim not a suspected terrorist?

Do you have any other idiotic comments?

Yes, yours.

You do that a lot Rand. Good way to prevent yourself from learning anything.

rand hates people who challenge his prejudices.

He won't comment on how Bush 41 gave billions to Syria.

There are a lot of people like that on the right--fundamentalists of their own personal religion with themselves as God.

With probably the same number of people on the left, except they feel they're more compassionate as a God than God is purported to be.
