Wheelchair Access for Suicide Bombers...UK satire:
"Following the recent assassination of Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin on Monday, the militant disabled rights group "Wheels of Freedom" has taken the resultant media furore as an opportunity to highlight the plight of disabled terrorists across the world, who they believe are being unfairly discriminated against.

Dr Hugo Z Hackenbush spoke to us from his wheelchair outside the group's headquarters in North West London...."Almost all suicide bombers have so far been able-bodied men between the ages of 16 and 35, with perhaps the odd able-bodied woman or child used on occasion," he continued. "This is clearly unacceptable. We know for a fact that there are many disaffected cripples who wish to die for their beliefs, taking as many leg-using people with them as they can. We believe that the leaders of the active terrorist organisations are overlooking their differently-abled brethren due to outdated stereotyping, but also because of the woeful lack of disabled access to Government buildings, buses and mountain caves in some territories." "

3. How ironic that the one career most open to people with disabilities
seems to be that of fanatical Islamist terrorist.

Besides the late Sheik Yassin, who used a wheelchair, there was Sheik Rahman, mastermind of the '93 WTC bombing, who is (was?) blind, and was always referred to as the "blind cleric" (like you'd rather be bomed by a sighted person?!).

4. Sheik Rahman was pretty cool....
You could just TELL HIM that you were Islamic extremist but actually spend all day wearing hotpants and nipple-tassels....

"Yeah, we bombed that....no problem......Yeah, I'm reading the Qu'ran now actually...."

:evilgrin:

I'm going straight to hell.....

6. You've never seen the "Bomb Dogs" sketch from The Day Today?
Terrorists have planted explosives inside dogs. The only way to deal with them is to coat the dogs in resin, leaving a small patch clear underneath, so that when the bomb goes off the force of the blast escapes downwards and blasts the dog 200ft into the air?

Genius.
