Bow down to your Islamic overlords......
The Christian democrats (CDA) are presenting a book on Saturday with 32 meditation texts. It is a collection of spiritual reflections that are not only Christian in nature but also Islamic.
"It is a common CDA tradition to open meetings with a meditation. But we noticed that branches sometimes found it difficult to find an appropriate text," as not all CDA members are Christian. "That is why we put together the collection," says CDA spokesman Jo-Annes de Bat.
The book, called "Reflections for political meetings," will be distributed among the CDA regional branches. The meditations were written by a variety of CDA members: Roman Catholics, Protestants, one Jew and two Muslims: MP Ceskun Coruz and ex-candidate MP Ayhan Tonca.
For his contribution to the book, Tonca has drawn on poetry of the 14th century Turkish poet Yunus Emre: "Allah praising and extolling, for his qualities so unique, with godly reflection time after time, shall I call on you, Lord, O Lord!" is in his contemplation.
In 2006, Tonca was a CDA candidate for the Lower House, but failure to recognise the Armenian genocide by Turkey (1915-1917) led to his withdrawal. The Turkish parliament then awarded Tonca the distinction of 'honorary parliamentarians.'
Tonca also chaired the Muslims and Government Consultative Body (CMO). In this function, he termed the meanwhile world-famous Danish Mohammed cartoons "unacceptable".

If I were in that party, that would be my cue to leave it.

These men aren't praying, they're practicing assuming the position to get fucked up the ass by their imam.
Now you know. HA!

(Bizarre sense of humor alert.)
Now imagine all these men farting at once.
During the Lewis & Clark Expedition, when the men were camped over the winter in the Norhwest at a Mandan camp, all 28 men were sleeping in a small wooden structure. The Indians had fed them all something that gave everyone a severe case of gas. In a diary, one guy said you can't imagine what it's like to be sequestered in a closed room, raining outside, no wind or ventilation, the air filled with farts and no escape.
Now imagine 10,000 muslim men in a mosque all farting at the same time which is what that position causes. Gotta love it.

Come out of her, that you don not partake of her sins, or receive
of her plagues. (paraphrasing)
