Allan West is apoplectic because Bowe Bergdahl’s father spoke a few words of Arabic at the White House press eventabout the release of his son. West is sure "by uttering these words on the grounds of the WH, Bergdahl (the father) sanctified the WH and claimed it for Islam. "
HA ! Joke’s on him, Them Choos already claimed the White House, Hollywood AND the International House of Pancakes !
:rolleyes: What horseshit. The “few words of Arabic” in question were the universal and routine invocation known as the basmala/bismillah, bism allah al-rahman al-rahim, “In the name of God, the compassionate, the merciful”.
Pious Muslims traditionally are supposed to begin everything with the basmala, from setting out on a pilgrimage to copying a manuscript of a geometry treatise. The basmala is not some kind of magical Muslim Protego Maxima or territory marker that somehow “Islamicizes” the locale where it is uttered.
Come on, Kimstu, everyone knows that the bismillah is the Islamic equivalent of a flag.
:eek: Why, those diabolically sneaky Islamics! :mad:
Can we re-claim the White House for Murrica by having a prayer meeting or a keg party there or something? Or should we have one of the Marine honor guard standing with crossy-fingers at all times just in case somebody tries an invocatory takeover so it won’t count?
Actually, no. The Allahmic laws of the Universe are such that the basmala is more-or-less ‘finders, keepers, losers, weepers’ in terms of finality.
Oh well. Silver lining department: since the President and his family are Muslims too, we won’t have to shell out to relocate them from the now Islam-contaminated White House! 
I’m afraid it is already too late. Once CAIR certifies that the building is free of geckos, it will be turned into a Victory Mosque. And then, oh, and then we will all have wished we had listened to Allan West and Carried the whole place every time a Muslim visited.
Heck, half your neighbors are probably already Muslim and you didn’t even notice, preoccupied as you were with watching the hippies and libertarians go at each other.
Hippies don’t hate libertarians, hippies hate clowns, clowns hate mimes, and mimes hate libertarians.
I don’t even have to click that link; I know exactly what it leads to!
Shakes the Clown totally fucking rocks!
ETA: I knew it!
It was explained that it was the bismilla, but he will not let it go (let it go!) will not let it go (let it go!)…
He should just turn away and slam the door now that the WH is hopelessly contaminated.
Oh mama mia! :smack:
It’s actually amazing when you realize how many levels of stupid this is.
- It’s just the bismillah as already pointed out
- Even if it wasn’t, it’s the White House, not goddamn Hogwarts. Magic spells don’t actually work.
- What were they supposed to, have Secret Service agents trained to recognize magic invocations and tackle the guy before he gets to the final abra-cadabra?
Don’t be silly.
They whip out their wands and perform a counter-curse.
No, it’s the Secret Service. There was this scandal with call girls a few years ago . . . Look, let’s just say they’re no longer allowed to whip out their wands, OK?! :o
I have a five year old, so don’t. Just don’t.
