Stupid Islam News of the Day

The BBQ Pit
21

Knowing Me, Knowing you the driver, whose name is allegedly Fermando was not One of Us but a radicalized Muslim.

He went to ISIS and said “I Have a Dream…Take a Chance On Me”. They said “Does Your Mother Know”? He said no but the Name of the Game is ISIS doesn’t like Westerners especially gays and said he had a plot to kill a Dancing Queen or two.

Like a Super Trouper, he drove a beer truck into a high end department store and everyone said “Mamma Mia!” and an S.O.S. was sent. It appears the store lost Money, Money, Money and Sweden has met its Waterloo in this Winner Takes All battle with terror.

This kind of sophistry is profoundly irritating. Islam has a problem with terrorism that other religions, at this moment in history, simply don’t have. While Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu societies occasionally produce terrorists, the Islamic world has a seemingly inexhaustible supply of them, and this is a fact which needs to be acknowledged before any honest discussion of the problem of religious violence can be held.

Also, you stupidly muddy the waters by bringing race into it, as though the OP is insinuating that the crucial variable is the colour of a person’s skin rather than the bronze-aged dogmas they’re carrying around in their head.

Missed the edit window…I wouldn’t really call him a friend. More of an ex-coworker and acquaintance.

Artichoke Fritters With Green Goddess Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

Sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 anchovy fillets
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar with tarragon
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream

Fritters
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup lager beer, room temperature
2 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
6 large artichokes
Canola oil (for deep-frying)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
Lemon wedges (for garnish)

Preparation

Sauce
Combine first 4 ingredients in processor; blend until mixture is finely chopped. With machine running, add oil through feed tube; puree until mixture is almost smooth. Add crème fraîche; process until smooth. Transfer sauce to small bowl; season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewhisk before using.

Fritters
Sift flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt into medium bowl. Make well in center of flour mixture; add beer, egg yolks, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and lemon peel and whisk until well blended. Let batter stand at room temperature at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours. Rewhisk before continuing.

Fill large bowl with water; add remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Using large knife, cut off top half of 1 artichoke, then cut off all but 3/4 inch of stem. Remove tough outer leaves until only 2 rows of tender green leaves remain in center. Using vegetable peeler, peel stem. Cut artichoke lengthwise in half. Using paring knife, cut out prickly choke in center; discard. Cut artichoke lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices; immediately place in lemon water. Repeat with remaining artichokes. Drain artichokes.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in large skillet over medium-low heat. Add artichokes and 1/2 cup tap water to skillet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring to boil.

Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until artichokes are tender and water evaporates, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. DO AHEAD Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill.

Line large baking sheet with several layers of paper towels. Beat egg whites in medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into batter, then fold in artichokes.

Pour enough canola oil into large saucepan to reach depth of 2 inches. Attach deep-fry thermometer to side of pan; heat oil to 375°F. Working in batches, drop artichoke mixture by tablespoonfuls into oil; fry until golden, turning often, about 2 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer fritters to paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. Transfer fritters to platter; sprinkle with parsley. Garnish with lemon wedges. Serve sauce alongside. Makes 6 servings.

People didn’t make fun of Trump “for pointing out the problems in Sweden”. They made fun of him for saying a terrorist attack had occurred when that wasn’t true. The fact that a terrorist attack did occur months later (perhaps inspired by Trump’s comment) doesn’t change the stupidity of what he said.

28

To be fair, he told us right in the title that this topic was going to be stupid.

29

Meaning it hits a nerve.

Horseshit.

I cannot speak about Buddhism or Hindu, but Christianity certainly has more than its fair share of terrorists. They just have a different label or official sanction: The Christian militias of Lebanon, (which got accused of genocide by the UN), The Aryan Brotherhood, the Army Of God, the KKK, the innumerable Abortion clinic bombers & attackers, the Lord’s Resistance Army, the almost infinite number of Christian doomsday cults in the US, the Phinneas Priesthood, The Concerned Christians, The Sovereign Citizen movement, The ‘Ethnic cleansing’ against Muslims in the former Yugoslavia etc., etc.

This ‘fact’ is a lot of projection.

I didn’t bring race into the conversation. Besides my comment about mining helmets and meshbacks (which is more an attack on panicky ruralites who most terrorists don’t even bother with) I did not do so.

I’m gonna pick up some bagels tomorrow from a place that has had its bagels eaten in space!

Not that it’s a special trip or anything - I go there every few months.

31

It’s nice you’re trying to reason with him but I suspect it’s going to go over his head.

32

The OP’s just trying to be funny. He’s all “Ikea’d, Ikea’d…”

33

What doesn’t go over the OP’s head? He’s like a Jawa.

This one looks a little complicated, but easier than the camel recipe. :eek: Sounds delicious too!

2 tablespoons honey
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
Remove from the heat.
Heat a small sauté pan over a medium heat, add the almonds and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until toasted.
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over a medium heat, add the onion and chilli and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until both have softened.
Add the remaining stock and bring to the boil.
Remove from the heat.
Add the couscous and stir to combine. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
Use a fork to separate the grains.
Add the marinade mixture, almonds and currants to the couscous, and cook, stirring, over a low heat for 2 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.

Maybe you’re secretly yearning for a Brandy Old-Fashioned Sweet.* The first drink my dad ever made me (and the last… the minute I walked in his door, he’d shove one in my hand)

(maybe so he never had to wonder “Should I hug my kid? Naaah… he’ll be busy with a drink.”)

*sort of the state drink of Wisconsin – look up brandy consumption by state.

There was that cab driver in New York, Muslim guy, turned in some suspicious characters and thwarted a plot. People said “Who was that mosqued man, I wanted to thank him”.

(I don’t have recipes, I have bad jokes. Problem?)

39

Who!? What!?
What do you think you’re talking about?
You even needed someone else to step in and provide context for your vacuumous rant.

Minimal effort.
Like dry white toast, untoasted, without bread.

**Derek **only brought one ingredient to the picnic, so I’d say the shit sandwich is still an improvement.

*My *Donanald!

With those quantities, it doesn’t seem like there’s gonna be enough to go around. Everybody better just fill up on camel…
