A threat was recently reported (see link)
http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2007/09/1301.cfm
that these two ladies would fare badly if Islamic rule came to their countries. "Muhammad Abdel-Al, the spokesman and senior leader of Palestinian terror group the Popular Resistance Committees, made the pronouncement in a new book called Schmoozing With Terrorists: From Hollywood To The Holy Land Jihadists Reveal Their Global Plans — To A Jew, which was written by Aaron Klein.
In the book, Abdel-Al is quoted as saying, 'If I meet these whores I will have the honour — I repeat, I will have the honour — to be the first one to cut the heads off Madonna and Britney Spears if they will keep spreading their satanic culture against Islam.'"
I believe that most Muslims are peaceful. However, I must acknowledge that there are persons who would do exactly as Muhammad Abdel-Al has said. It is relatively easy for a person to speak as Muhammad Abdel-Al speaks, because at that point the act is abstract, the intended victims, symbolic. However, the thought is parent to the word, which is parent to the deed.
In a world where violence is rampant, I don't know why this particular threat is particularly bothersome to me, yet it is.
How I chose to deal with it was to tell a story of what might come to pass if Muhammad Abdel-Al has his way. Looking the horror squarely in the eye. Let us work to keep anything like this from happening.
Britney:
With stunned disbelief, Ms. Britney Spears watches as a man approaches her, sword in hand.

"What do you want from me?" she asks, in a voice beginning to quiver with fear.
"The price for your crimes" he replies, "is your head".
A brief struggle ensues. In the end, Britney kneels, blindfolded. The swordsman completes his task with grim efficiency.

Not a fan of Ms Spears or Madonna's (admit did like her music in her younger days) but I have to say that there would be a heck of a lot more women who needed "be-heading" if you go by what he is saying. These would not be the only two. The guy making the threat is the one whose head should be on the chopping block. |

While I don't agree that beheading people is a way to handle religious disagreements, would it honestly make any difference to society if Madonna and Britney had no heads? Each of them often acts like they don't have one now. |

Maybe instead of beheading Britney he could just do liposuction on her. |

If you call that "fat" then your eyesight is a lot worse than you thought it was. So you must like your women "anorexic" then?. |

The question is not whether Brittany is fat, which she is not, but whether she is at her optimal weight, which she is not. She looks way heavier than she used to and appears very unhealthy to me. She gained weight when she had her kids and apparently has never taken some of it off. Plus, her partying lifestyle has taken its toll.
So, I agree with you, Fitz. She doesn't look good. |

Watching her one the awards show sort of reminded me of that Chris Farley "Chippendale" bit on SNL. But that's sort of unfair to compare her to Chris Farley. He had talent. |

I agree regarding the lack of talent also but not on the weight issue. It is comments like those that cause young girls and women to become anorexic. |

The threats are disturbing, yes. This is a madman. However, I have to be very truthful with you Dark Woods. I found your "creative scenarios" equally disturbing. Why on earth would you want to perpetuate this threat by giving it an ending???
You've made me shudder in disgust. |

I suggest that ya'll do some research on wahabbis and their so-called schools, madrassahs. These clowns are our real enemy. |

Absolutely no argument there, Obi. I totally agree with those statements.
I just object to Dark Woods' continuation of the proposed atrocities. |

I am sorry to have offended Wilderness Woman.
It would be fine with me if this thread were locked or deleted. |

This is the lion's den, DW. Topics can get controversial, that's to be expected. Don't beat yourself up over it!
Britney Spears seems to really know how ignite the press and the public though, I'll give her that.
And the weirdo who did the pics needs a little therapy.

As odd as Ms. Spears may be, the beauty of our society is that she may do so, without worry of incarceration or other official sanction, so long as her actions do not interfere with the rights of others. As for the 'fat' comments, IMHO she is not; as a matter of fact, I believe that a woman without curves is hardly a woman at all. As the Sarge always says, "Give me a curvy-cat over a skinny-mini, any day!"

I think folks may be confusing "fat" with "lack of muscle tone." When she shook her butt, her thighs jiggled "like a bowl full of jello."
And gee, isn't it nice to find someone who makes Michael Jackson look talented? |

Ah come on Obi, Michael was very talented. I loved him back in the 80's. His "Thriller" and "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" etc were amazing. Course he was probably up to the same "antics" back then that got him in trouble lately, we just didn't hear about it. He also looked relatively "normal" in his "pre-plastic surgery" days. |
