al Qaeda Orders Use of Membership Badges (via Rip Rowan)
If the whole point of terrorism is to draw attention to your cause, well, then you certainly can't blame al-Qaeda for taking steps to be certain they get proper credit.
Mohammed Samirallah, the only living senior member of al Qaeda, has ordered all remaining members of al Qaeda to start wearing photo ID membership badges, effective immediately.
"So many of our members have affiliation with other groups," said Samirallah. "Many are also members of organizations like Hammas, Hezbollah, Ansar al Islam, or Rotarians. It makes it very difficult for people to distinguish our membership."
"For example, in Iraq, many of our members are committing suicide attacks and bombings. But we are not given due credit for our work. Instead that dead fool Saddam is still taking credit! This is totaly unacceptable."
The card, a 2x3 inch laminated card, must be worn by all al Qaeda members. Members must wear the card above the waist, in clear view of any law enforcement or military officers.
Members who commit suicide bombings while not wearing their membership badge automatically void their teen virgin rape priveledges in the afterlife.
Of course, the badges will also make it easier for US snipers to pick them off one by one, but then every plan has it's disadvantages, no??
