O'Reilly: "The FBI warned me that al Qaeda had me on a death list"
O'Reilly says his fame and success -- and sometimes controversial views -- have come with a price.

"With the controversy comes death threats on a daily basis," O'Reilly said. "Not only from kooks. But the FBI came in and warned me and a few other people at Fox News that al Qaeda had us on a death list. … That's a little disconcerting."

So does O'Reilly ever question what he's doing? Is all the controversy he creates worth it when he has a wife and kids? O'Reilly says he knows his big mouth gets him into a certain amount of trouble. When it goes over the line and he requires round-the-clock protection, he says he asks himself, "Is it worth it?"

Still, O'Reilly sticks to his guns, even if he is a bit self-deprecating about his legacy. "When I am dead, my tombstone will read, 'He finally stopped talking,'" he said.

http://www.syrialive.net/food/falafel.htm

You can prepare this falafel sandwich easily and quickly by placing an order for our pre-cooked falafel balls.
Falafel is a vegetarian dish which in one form or another is as old as civilization itself. Falafel's main ingredient is the chick-pea, also known as garbanzo bean. Falafel is nutritious, rich in protein and vitamins. The chick-peas are ground and then mixed with a blend of exotic spices and herbs. Seasoning varies widely from one place to another. Our blend of spices was carefully selected to attract the falafel lovers.

The falafel mix is formed into balls which are quick-fried in canola oil. The crunchy crust prevents the oil from penetrating and being absorbed, thus minimizing the fat calories.

Once you chomp through the inviting crust, you will find the inside soft and very tasty. Our falafel is cholesterol free, and rich in fiber.

Stuffed into a freshly baked warm pita, layered with crisp garden vegetables and topped with savory sesame sauce (tahini), the falafel sandwich is indeed a gastronomic celebration. Falafel can also be served as meatballs: tomato sauce topping will bring out the delicious flavor that is so unique to falafel!

1. al Quaeda had a hit out on O'Reilly? I don't believe that for one
damn minute.

Unless their new priority is getting rid of all the walking talking anal cysts that we have in the American media nowdays.

6. Spare me you self important Asshole, worry not, you are their tool
They need you....You help them destroy America. You spout idiotic Bushco mantras, you support destruction of the Constitution, you support wars that bog us down and destroy our economy, and you yell down sensible opposition.

In fact, asshole, don't be suprised if you see the Taliban outside your home acting as body guards.

10. I would have to hear the FBI say this. I just believe O'R WISHES he were
important enough for Al Queda to acknowledge that he is on the face of the earth. He full of hot air.

11. Hardly. He's third on their "best friends" list...
...after * and Rushpatootie.

Without the bile-spewing, terra-frenzied rhetoric, how could we stay worked into a sufficient hate-frenzy to keep giving these criminal assholes the attention they so desperately seek?

dismissively,

17. So what, O'Reilly? Do you think this makes you a hot shot.?
We're all on Osama's hit list. Didn't you read his Fatwa of February 1998?


All these crimes and sins committed by the Americans are a clear declaration of war on God, his messenger, and Muslims. And ulema have throughout Islamic history unanimously agreed that the jihad is an individual duty if the enemy destroys the Muslim countries. This was revealed by Imam Bin-Qadamah in "Al-Mughni," Imam al-Kisa'i in "Al-Bada'i," al-Qurtubi in his interpretation, and the shaykh of al-Islam in his books, where he said: "As for the fighting to repulse , it is aimed at defending sanctity and religion, and it is a duty as agreed . Nothing is more sacred than belief except repulsing an enemy who is attacking religion and life."

On that basis, and in compliance with God's order, we issue the following fatwa to all Muslims: The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies-civilians and military-is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy mosque (Mecca) from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim.


So he's after me, too. He does not know or care about the difference between you and me, John Kerry and G. W. Bush, FoxNews and Pacifica Radio and NPR, Noam Chomsky and David Duke. As far as Osama is concerned, the only good American is a dead American.

That he wants you dead doesn't make you special. That you think it does makes you a fathead.

Well, I want Osama dead, just like you. The difference between us is that I have no confidence in the ability of Mr. Bush to kill or capture him. Rather, he has cynically used the attacks to gut the Bill of Rights and International Humanitarian Law. Mr. Bush is a contemptible moron who thinks Iraq is related to the September 11 attacks even if they were as big a surprise to Saddam as they were to you or me. I have no confidence in anybody stupid enough to believe that kind of nonsense to get anything right.

29. And Manson wants to kill Geraldo
Gerry Rivers is still walking around, so I doubt Bill has much to worry about in a personal sense. If al queda decided to take out Manhattan, or FOX's offices, he would have to be worried in a collective sense, like anyone else.

30. Well, from O'Lielly mouth to al Qaeda's ears. Don't advocate
violence but if this is what O'Lielly needs to "prove" his relevance, then so be it.
