Religion of Flying Toilets

Soon-to-be-dead Pediatrician-of-Death Abdel Aziz Rantisi isn't having any of that "Religion of Peace" nonsense:

Writing on his web site Tuesday, Rantisi urged ordinary Palestinians to help the wanted men. ``Protecting the fighters and to offer them support is part of our religion, is part of the holy war,'' he said.
Imagine that.

And what are these warrior-supporting sacred rituals? An e-mail from my family in Jerusalem offers a clue into Palestinian liturgical customs:

A soldier recently in Nablus reports that troops searching for bomb workshops must cope in narrow alleys with Palestinians who throw stones and fire bombs, and drop whatever they can from the roofs of buildings, including bricks, cinder blocks, bathtubs, furniture, and toilets.
Next thing you know they'll be blaming Israel for the surprising puddles of indoor sewage.
