and then our exile

three clarifications so that people don't smite me.
this is shuffled to John: the "Zionist Media"-CBC was partially meant as a joke. If you do some research, you can find out that the head of Radio-Canada was once the rabbi of such-and-such synagogue in Montreal, but that's besides the point--it's meant to funnel into the way i make fun of some conspiracy theories, while whole-heartedly defending others. the CIA's involvement in everything, for example. (some of you've heard the cd i love passing out. if not, let me know...) or the way, as Brother Bilbo says, that even your own parents turn into Freemasons if you listen to some production by Halaqa Media. But again, that's besides the point. My basic stance on the CBC is that they air a lot of stuff that's substance-less, they skip over a lot of news that should be broadcasted, neglecting their moral duty to do so, but, on the whole, their stuff is somewhat better than mainstream-America, and so I live with it. and besides, they're *Canadian*, and it's *patriotic* to support them. Yeah. Patriotic.
this is shuffled to Farooq: the "Shaykh-ul-Jihad" is something I've picked up after hanging around too many Salafi websites. (ClearGuidance, basically..) and was inserted specifically for you. As in, seriously. It's my belated birthday present (I apologize I couldn't get the video-cam. It's just, i don't have the money. and you don't need one--those drugs you're on will do it all. ;) and, boo to the Egyptian gov't! BOOO!! If you honestly can't get in, Abi says that it's maybe a sign that you should go Sham instead...
and this isn't shuffled to anyone, just a random thing I mucked up on: I wasn't actually listening to "if i had a rocket launcher" when i wrote below. it's just, i felt like the lyrics (how many kids they've murdered/ only God can say...if i had a rocket launcher/ i would retaliate), and so stuck it in there for good measure.
