Here's a little gem that was in the LA Times today...

"Aspiring filmmaker Hiba Qassir is about to graduate from a Hezbollah-backed high school. She loves movies, but would give up her career dream if offered the chance to be a suicide bomber."

I don't know what is more shocking, the repetitive use of "Martyrdom is the shortest way to heaven" or the fact that Hezbollah has an annual "martyrdom" exhibit that requires a tour guide.

Muslims aren't allowed to drink alcohol, but those "beer belly" things that let you sneak it in might work pretty good. Having somethign strapped to your waist probably isn't uncommon with that crowd so it won't raise any red flags :ROFL:
