US Airways jet lands after religious item mistaken for a bomb.

Paranoia or stupidity? You be the judge!

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) – A US Airways passenger plane was diverted to Philadelphia on Thursday after a religious item worn by a Jewish passenger was mistaken as a bomb, Philadelphia police said.

A passenger was alarmed by the phylacteries, religious items which observant Jews strap around their arms and heads as part of morning prayers, on the flight from New York's La Guardia airport heading to Louisville.

"Someone on the plane construed it as some kind of device," said officer Christine O'Brien, a spokeswoman for the Philadelphia police department.

No one was arrested or charged, O'Brien said.

The plane landed without incident and the passengers and crew were taken off the plane, a spokesman for US Airways said.

Phylacteries, called tefillin in Hebrew, are two small black boxes with black straps attached to them. Observant Jewish men are required to place one box on their head and tie the other one on their arm each weekday morning.

Thursday's incident was the latest of several false alarms on U.S. flights since the December 25 incident in which a Nigerian man attempted to detonate a bomb in his underpants from materials he smuggled onto the plane just as his flight was about to land in Detroit, authorities said.

The device did not explode and only burned the man, who was pounced on by fellow passengers.

Since then several flights have been diverted by security scares that have turned out to be harmless.

Ok! Here at the Les'Shyerar laboratories and Fried Chicken Shack have produced a audiovisual demonstration of the differences between a Tefillin and a suicide bomb...

This is a Tefillin. There are two squares, one on the forehead and one on the arm with a wrapping that goes across it. The person who mistook this for a bomb must be very ignorant of Jewish customs (Probably, the majority of Americans!), as this is a very ackward way of blowing oneself up (Then again so was the shoe bomb and the underwear bomb)! These objects are to pray to their invisible man of their choice; a jealous, mad desert god who will strike without any hesitation, unless you pray every day tying two boxes to your body! It's all very silly. But dangerous, no.


This is a suicide bomber. Look at the menacing look, the borrowed US Army surplus fatigues, the worn out AK 47, the dead man's switch and explosive sticks of fake dynamite. If you see one of those in your airport or flight, it's a poor soul that wants to die really, really soon by commiting "Suicide by Cop". Again, they do this to apeace the same desert, mad god, with the sacrifice of innocent lives. Seriously, this madness has to stop! Wait a minute...come to think this dude is actually a lady! And has cute eyes! I wonder if she would date an infidel like me?

But I digress...

Usually terrorists don't look like this...





They look like this.


Any questions?

The perfect Christmas gift...

After sad news, it's good to come back to outrageousness and laughter.

Here's a Christmas gift that should be included in every list...

A Lego-style figurine resembling an Islamic terrorist strapped with explosives and made by a small American company has caused an uproar among Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

The controversial miniature figure, created by Seattle-based Will Chapman as part of his BrickArms military fighters line, is a bearded militant with a face-covering hood, a tiny toy assault rifle, a little grenade launcher and plastic bombs that can be attached to an explosives belt.

The character is called "Bandit — Mr. White" and sells for $14.

The jarring toy has outraged the British Muslim organization known as the Ramadhan Foundation, which called the figurine "absolutely disgusting," according to Sky News.

The foundation's chief executive, Mohammed Shafiq, complained that the toy is "glorifying terrorism."

C'mon! Admit it! It's freaking cute!!!

I'm getting one, you infidels!!!

Hour to Hour account of the Mumbai Horror

Here is an hour to hour account of the madness in Mumbai

An excerpt...

MUMBAI, India – 9:21 p.m. Wednesday, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus __ Two young men walk casually through Mumbai's main railway station, a worn Victorian hulk bustling with late commuters heading home, scurrying past small food stands and juice bars and vendors selling newspapers. They enter near the taxi stand, where long lines of battered black and yellow cabs wait for fares. One wears khaki cargo pants and a blue T-shirt. A pair of small knapsacks are slung over a shoulder. He looks like a college kid.
They are, says a photographer who follows them on part of their grim journey, "backpackers with assault rifles."
The two — and other death squads working in pairs — are to wreak carnage in landmark after landmark across Mumbai over the next three days, creating panic in this normally unflappable city and killing more than 195 people.

Nothing else to say.

160 dead. Last terrorists flushed out from Taj Majal Hotel

Gunfire was still being heard in the Taj Majal Hotel in Mumbai. The last holdouts from the group Deccan Mujahideen fired their last shots and were killed by Indian security forces.

48 hours after the first shots were fired, 160 are confirmed dead, 10 of them are Americans, 12 are British. 350 are hurt.

After all this tragedy...my question is...

Can you feel the power of religion?

Mumbai Attacks - 125 dead. City under siege.

The Taj Majal and the Oberoi hotel are still under siege. According to SKY News, BBC and CNN, new fires and shooting has broken out in the aforementioned hotels, the Victoria Train Station and the Leopold Cafe, where is believed that dozens of terrorists are still holed up with hostages.

125 people are confirmed dead, including 6 foreigners, 13 policemen and the chief of the anti- terrorist unit in Mumbai. 9 terrorists are confirmed killed, 12 are detained. More than 300 persons have been injured and taken to nearby hospitals. It is unknown how many terrorists participated in the attacks that targeted 10 places in the city that are popular with tourists and foreigners, including movie theaters, hospitals and cafes.

The group Deccan Mujahideen have claimed responsibity for the attacks. A very little known group, it's believed that they have ties to Al Quaeda.

Pakistan president has condemned the attacks calling them barbaric.

Both president Bush and president-elect Barack Obama have strongly condemned the attacks.

Still 24 hours after this started, it shows no signs of abating!

UPDATE- A new gun battle has been reported on the Oberoi hotel. And Indian police say they have found a cel phone property of one of the terrorists that has info on other terrorists and video of the attacks.

This situation is still evolving!!!

101 killed - most hostages are freed.

CNN is reporting that most of the hostages in the Taj Majal hotel in Mumbai were freed but they are still terrorists and hostages inside.

Now it's known that the terrorists were asking for Americans or British citizens to take hostage or to kill. The group claiming responsibility are called the Deccan Mujehaidin. They are relatively unknown in intelligence circles, but probably with ties to Al Qaeda.

They also attacked a train station, a hospital and the Jewish Orthodox Offices.

More as it arrives.

80 killed in coordinated terrorists attacks on Mumbai

CNN is reporting this as an ongoing story as unconfirmed reports say that terrorists have taken hostages in hotels around the city, hurling hand granades from rooftops. Police are battling them.

This was the report filed by ABC-Reuters earlier...

Police in India's financial capital Mumbai say up to 80 people may have been killed and over 200 wounded in a series of attacks around the main railway station and two five-star hotels.

Maharahstra state police chief, A.N. Roy, says unknown terrorists fired automatic rifles and threw hand grenades weapons indiscriminately, adding that they are still in several places.

Two of the attackers were shot dead on the beach front and there are unconfirmed reports gunmen may have taken hostages.

Several people were shot dead in the luxury Taj Mahal hotel in the Colaba district, and the lobby of another five-star hotel nearby, the Oberoi, was also hit.

Gunmen opened fire at several locations in Mumbai's popular tourist district.

One of the men armed with an assault rifle stormed the lobby of the Taj Palace Hotel.

Several people were shot and killed in a similar attack at Mumbai's central railway station and at a restaurant popular with tourists.

There were also shots fired and reports of blasts at the Oberoi Hotel.

Smoke has been seen rising from the building and police have surrounded the area, saying the gunmen appear to be inside.

The wounded have been taken to local hospitals.

This looks as the same assholes acting on the will of some invisible man that tells them to kill in it's name!

The world will be a better place without religion!

The US gets in a bigger mess in the Middle East!

Things just gets worse in the so called "War on Terrorism"...

DAMASCUS, Syria – U.S. military helicopters launched an extremely rare attack Sunday on Syrian territory close to the border with Iraq, killing eight people in a strike the government in Damascus condemned as "serious aggression."
A U.S. military official said the raid by special forces targeted the network of al-Qaida-linked foreign fighters moving through Syria into Iraq. The Americans have been unable to shut the network down in the area because Syria was out of the military's reach.
"We are taking matters into our own hands," the official told The Associated Press in Washington, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the political sensitivity of cross-border raids.
The attack came just days after the commander of U.S. forces in western Iraq said American troops were redoubling efforts to secure the Syrian border, which he called an "uncontrolled" gateway for fighters entering Iraq.

I think Dubya is making it harder for the next President to have peace in the Middle East!

Seven years after...

I know...I know...it's Sept. the 12, still seven years after the events of September the eleventh, are we better off? Are we more secure? Is the interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq solving anything? 3,200 people died in the 9/11 attacks, until now over 150,000 persons have died in different attacks and wars caused by this event. And the so-called mastermind of this operation, Osama Bin Laden, is nowhere to be found.

Have we solved anything?

Are things getting better?

Nope, sorry! the world's is in a worse place than seven years ago.

And probably will get worse!
