Head-chopping world cup kicks off
Following the blessed retirement to virginal thrall by the Pele of head-lopping, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the battle for succession began in earnest today with two brilliantly executed goals, both be-headers, by up and coming Iraqi ambusher Abu Hamza al- Muhajer against a US Services team.
Just as Brazil successfully warmed up for the football World Cup with a friendly match against New Zealand, Muhajer said in a press release that his team’s practice of the “nahr” technique - that used for the slaughter of sheep by cutting the throat - had paid off with two perfectly ugly executions under match conditions.
An Iraqi military official confirmed that the dismembered remains of two barely identifiable American captives, killed “in a barbaric way”, had been found in the dirt at the Islamist Stadium.
Islamist web sites could barely contain their joy about the result. Said the Mujahedeen Shura Council:
"We give the good news ... to the Islamic nation that we have carried Allah’s verdict by slaughtering the two captured crusaders."
"With Allah Almighty's blessing, Abu Hamza al-Muhajer carried out the verdict of the Islamic Council" (for the soldiers’ slaying).
It is not yet clear whether Allah communicated his/her blessing by telephone or email.
Despite the confidence of Islamistball administrators that their game, “the ugly game”, is preferred by Allah to football, “the beautiful game”, the latter’s world cup seems to be attracting more media attention.
Several recent Islamist PR initiatives, such as neo-Nazi demonstrations in Germany in support of Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Ahmadinejad’s promise to appear at the football world cup when his Iranian team carried the Islamist flag into the competition’s second stage, have failed to galvanize public interest as hoped.
Also, interest in the United States continues to be luke-warm.
Even the recent Allah-sanctioned be-headings barely rated a front page mention in the New York Times, whereas American state-sanctioned toilet paper confiscations such as those at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere hogged the headlines for months.
