Last one out turn off the lights

A Palestinian scholar of the Koran and quite possibly a consumer of copious amounts of opium, Ziad Silwadi, would like all of us here in the US to cancel our vacation plans for the 2007 summer holiday season. Why, you ask? Well because according to the Koran, the US will cease to exist in 2007 ya big dummy.

“The tsunami waves are a minor rehearsal in comparison with what awaits the US in 2007,” the researcher concluded in his study. “The Holy Koran warns against the Omnipotent Allah’s force. A great sin will cause a huge flood in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.”

“It would be fair to say that the world would be better off with a US that is not a superpower and that does not take advantage of weak nations than a world where this country does not exist at all,” he added. “The world will certainly lose a lot if and when this disaster occurs because of the great services that American society has rendered to the economy, industry and science.”

As an example, he quotes in his study verse 40 of the Spider Sura, which states: “So each We [God] punished for his sin; of them was he on whom We sent down a violent storm, and of them was he whom the rumbling overtook, and of them was he whom We made to be swallowed up by the earth, and of them he whom We drowned; and it did not beseem Allah that He should be unjust to them, but they were unjust to their own souls.”

Well that’s nice. I’m sure the fanatic wing of the greater Muslim world will respond kindly to the news. No word yet from Allen Greenspan in regards to the economic forecast, post costal cleansing.
Personally I’m going to hold out for the civilization ending calamity predicted by the Mayan calendar in 2012 which falls smack dab in the middle of the Christmas shopping season.
