I think most people would say it means Holy War.

But most people don't really know what Holy War means. Like that it doesn't mean an actual war against other people.

It's my understanding that it's a spiritual war, within oneself... but I'll wait to see what Gash says. I'm no expert on Islam.

The Bible is all about killing blacks, Jews, and gays. A guy in the south told me. He was wearing a big white hat and a cloak.

Yes, Kas, southern Canada. After all, as we all know, the KKK has such a strong foothold in Canada.

Why the Conservative party sucks ass:

They complain about compulsory health care.

Nobody's forcing you. If you want to die at the ripe old age of 60 go for it.

Forcing someone to have healthcare is a step away from forcing them to wear a homing transmitter on their wrist.

That's a cute comparison, Kas, but it doesn't really mean anything. The link it tenuous at best.
