“Two die in Belgian anti-terror raid.”

Gentle reader must have been wondering, who is it this time? The Buddhists, perhaps? (Mahayana or Theravada?)

Jains? Angry rampaging Hindu swamis? Prim Confucians? Taoist anarchists? What about the Zoroastrians, we haven’t heard from them in a while. But it might be the Lutherans, no? Or the Presbyterians? Pentecostals more likely, or Fundamentalist Christians from Allah-bama. Hey wait, Belgium used to be a Catholic country, perhaps they were Latin Mass traditionalists? SSPiXies? Dominican monks? Third Order Franciscans? On the other hand, Secular Humanists would be statistically more likely. Wiccans? Druids? Nudists? Maybe we should bet long-shot on Animists of some sort, from the former Belgian Congo. Or from New Guinea: could be, you never know these days. Well, the answer caught everyone by surprise. Turned out they were Muslims.

Your Say

Couldn't be Muzzys. The State Owned Press would have ID'd them if they were bad people.

No shiite? Muslims you say! America's fault, of course. That is so easy to see (sarc).

Here in our country we have exuberant youth, People of Color.

Doublespeak at its finest.
