Of course, this is what Wall Street SHOULD look like — but government, with your money, will NOT let that happen. After all, all those people simply HAVE to be helped out. Again, they CANNOT and WILL NOT be held responsible for their actions.

Reminds me of the very fearful statement, “We’re from the government and we’re here to help.”

What a mihrab means to the Wahhabists, the Khomeini-ists and the other Salafists
In 1981, Ayatollah Khomeini explained the meaning of a Mecca-direction indicator (called a mihrab), like the one now being planted on the Flight 93 crash site:
Mehrab means the place of war, the place of fighting. Out of the mehrabs, wars should proceed, just as all the wars of Islam used to proceeded out of the mehrabs. [Hat tip Yoel Natan, Moon-o-theism, p. 30]
The I-ah-told-you-so wasn’t just speaking allegorically either. The University of Chicago’s Francis Joseph Seinglass Comprehensive Persian-English dictionary lists amongst its definitions for mihrab: “warlike,” and “a field of battle.” (Hat tip Czechmade.)
