Andy Borowitz -- Bush Demands That Iran Halt Production of Long Letters (OP)
This is too funny
========
by Andy Borowitz
Days after receiving an 18-page letter from Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President George W. Bush called the lengthy missive “an act of war” and demanded that Iran halt its production of long letters at once.
At the White House, aides said that writing a letter of such length to President Bush, who is known for his extreme distaste for reading, was the most provocative act Mr. Ahmadinejad could have possibly committed.
“Everyone knows that the last book the president read was ‘My Pet Goat,’” one aide said. “Expecting him to read an 18-page letter is really asking for it, and that Iranian dude must have known that.”
According to those close to Mr. Bush, the president was infuriated upon receipt of the 18-page letter and asked aides if it was some kind of joke.
The president then demanded that the letter be boiled down to a one- or two-page format, or possibly adapted to a DVD version, just as he had ordered for news reports on Hurricane Katrina.
In Tehran, President Ahmadinejad said he was “taken aback” by Mr. Bush’s refusal to read an 18-page letter, but said that all his future communications to the U.S. president would be in short, easy-to-read instant-messaging format.
In his first IM to President Bush, released to the press today, President Ahmadinejad writes, “Am building nukes. R U angry? LOL.”
Elsewhere, Air Force Gen. Michael V. Hayden vowed today that as director of the CIA he would push the agency to find new and better sources of false intelligence.

BRO ISLAM-TRUTH... George Bush isn't our brother, and he isn't part of the ummah either. Did you know that the prophet (SAW) gave Abu Jahl that nick name (one of ignorance)?
Please correct me if i'm wrong, astaghfurAllah.

Answer this when george goes to the grave what will the angels ask him, I've skiped the other two questions but focus on this one, who's your prophet thus he's part of our ummah, ummah means nation, thus even the kufar are part of it even though they dibelieve.

But he is not part of the ummah of Islam... which is what brotherhood is all about. How can a person who commits shirk be my brother? And he is an evil kaafir too!

I'm not saying he's your brother, and he's in the ummah if we like it or not, my point being is we shouldn't insult people behind their backs muslim or not.

We tend to use the word 'Haraam' for everything that comes up without even considering the consequences. Saying something is Haraam is more or less signing on Allah's behalf. That is why it should be left to 'ulamaa
And allah knows best
