Er… You were expecting an apology or something?
That Mullah Omar, what a funny guy. :rolleyes: He could do his own SNL spoof skit.
What about the hip-hop rapper Muslims? Surely they are allowed to wear their turbans backwards! They’ve got to recognize! They’ve got to keep it real. Another example of The Man keeping them down. Word!
I really like this part ** “It is written in Pashtu, his native language, and signed personally, “Mullah Mohammed Omar, Amir-ul-momineen”, or king of all believers.” **
How does one get to be ** * king of all believers * ** ? Is there an election, do all the men fight it out until only one is left standing ? Do they have a pie eating contest or maybe a foot race ? Is there a queen of all believers ?
Mullah Omar seems to be suspiciously “media savvy” for someone obsessed with medieval headgear. When he sent this guy in:
the Taliban suddenly had sex appeal and in peace time and without the turban probably a movie contract. What’s with that beard stroking thing he does though? Does that have meaning?
Because it’s there 
I’ve a beard a have developed a habit of doing just what I saw that guy doing on TV. No reason that I can think off, it just feels nice.
Obviously, he’s king of all those who believe that he’s king. Fiendishly clever, these Taliban…
C’mon, Mullah, it’s kinda hard to keep that turban fasionably spiffy when you’re dodging that pesky, incoming B-52 strike!
Don’t worry, I hear they do a great job of cleaning and setting that headgear straight for Taliban funerals. 
Same way Michael Jackson became the King of Pop, I guess. Just claim the title, send out a few press releases, and there you go.
As for myself, I’ve decided to claim the title of Believer of all Kings. From this day, I’ll never doubt a King again. Not Rodney, nor Larry, nor even Stephen. And of course Elvis is still kickin’!
No Billie Jean? Sexist pig!
yojimbo: Could we possibly be talking “substitute” here?
Whatever, it would probably only take a few guys like old Tayeb to make veils an ok fashion accessory. Veils! Perfect for your next heist! Cheaper than SPF30! It’s possible that he and his friends are just little hunks of charcoal by now though. Who knows?
