Bush Mulls Bin Laden Offer to Convert to Islam

by Scott Ott · 30 Comments

(2007-09-07) — Just hours after the release of al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden’s latest video message inviting all Americans to convert to Islam, U.S. President George said he would “seriously consider the offer, because it sure would simplify the war in Iraq.”

“If I convert to Islam and order all of our troops to do the same,” said Mr. Bush, “we can stay in Iraq indefinitely, drop the restrictive rules of engagement, save a lot of money by using cheap, unguided bombs, clear neighborhoods flat out, blow up mosques with impunity and still go to heaven — not to mention that I’d get more favorable coverage from the U.S. news media.”

The president added that he might convert to Islam just to “find out what it’s like to be a man who wears a dress and a bonnet and dyes his hair like a girl.”

    God bless America!

    P.S.:

    The president added that he might convert to Islam just to “find out what it’s like to be a man who wears a dress and a bonnet and dyes his hair like a girl.”

    LOL!

    “..not to mention that I’d get more favorable coverage from the U.S. news media.”

    Straying from satire once again I see.
    Very funny post.

    Isn’t that the truth.

    I’m sure he’d love to meet Osama bin Laden…and send him to meet his Maker.

    sounds like a deal to me

  • 6 Shelly // Sep 7, 2007 at 4:43 pm

    This will never work. Bush is too nice to his wife, daughters and mother to ever pull off switching to UBL’s brand of Islam. Maybe when Bill becomes ambassador to the world he could try it out.

    Hawkeye, just enjoyed the pictures on the last thread. Thanks so much for sharing! Wish I could have been there.

    There would be a lot of benifits fer sure-Ain’t that the truth. Fortunately a born again Christian is incapable of any long term denial of Jesus without consequences. He will get your attention one way or the other or just take you home.

    Some of you may remember when I posted about the poor Japanese singer on star search who chose a piece (Eleanor Rigby) on the the wrong side of the language barrier and wound up with “Ar the ronery peoper, Well do dey ar berong” WELL here is an even funnier interpretation:

    Looks like he could hve at least jumbled the words about. The stand in, look-alike seems to be reading practically verbatim right from the script provided to him by the American Left Wing Liberal Media and/or the Hollywood script writers.

    I now have a new, updated likeness of UBL pasted onto my dartboard-Triple 20 being right between his diabolical, beady eyes.
    :shock:
    I zoomed in real close on the screen-capture (or whatever that hideous thing is that’s going around) and, well, I’m too old to be freaking myself out like that-peering under Dante’s infamous Inferno.

    The last sentence of Mr. Ott’s Post is an inspired stroke of genius.
    :shock:
    Wow.

    Osama bin Chomsky.

    I haven’t figured out if bin Laden is stealing Democrat talking points or if Democrats are stealing bin Laden talking points.

  • 13 Darthmeister // Sep 7, 2007 at 5:51 pm

    BTW, Scott, this has to be one of your best parodies. I particularly like the idea of our troops converting to Islam and then by virtue of their conversion then having carte blanche privileges in killing as many Muslims as possible and staying as long as is needed to get the job done in conducting jihad against those kafir Sunnis and Shias who aren’t a part of the new Islamic Amerii tribe.

    SGT, I’m crying! That was awesome!

  • 15 EXT // Sep 7, 2007 at 5:53 pm

    Democrats sell the talking points to terrorists.

    They book the sales as “campaign contributions”.

    RE: #12~~

    Yes, great article. The 2nd and 3rd paragraphs from the end are where it reaches a nice (Stravinsky-like) crescendo.

    And, yes, Scott’s post is ALL mind-boggling crescendo (Tchaikovsky/Beethoven-like)-every syllable is a SLAM DUNK! (Led Zeppelin-like), et cetera…..

    Oh no the cute little Eskimo bears are going to die. Where is Walt Disney when you need him.

    Now the wackos are going for the heartstrings. What’s next

    http://www.newsnet5.com/news/14070562/detail.html

    “This grim news about polar bears and sea ice decline is horrifying, but it is a call to action, not despair,” said Kassie Siegel of the Arizona-based Center for Biological Diversity. “The good news is that there is still time to save polar bears. Our hope lies in a rapid response, including both deep and immediate carbon dioxide reductions and a full-court press on other greenhouse pollutants such as methane.”

    The fate of polar bears has struck a public nerve. Fish and Wildlife officials have received 600,000 public comments so far on the proposed listing, spokesman Chris Tollefson said.

    On Friday, Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., urged the Bush administration to grant polar bears federal protection.

    Shelly #6,
    Glad you liked the pictures. We missed you. It will be great… in 2008.

    Scott, REALLY funny! One of your best. But… “U.S. President George”?? I don’t think I’ve ever heard him referred to like that before. Actually, that is kinda funny too.

    :smile: Best regards…

    This might be a case of Kerryesque nuancing.

    Bush Mulls Bin Laden Offer to Convert to Islam certainly could be interpreted as an offer by UBL to convert to the elusive “religion of peace” which President George seems to have discovered.

    After all, bin Laden respects mullers.
