While the debate of Pirates vs. Ninjas rages on across the internets, there has been little discussion of the Arab dimension to the conflict. While many of history’s greatest pirates (and privateers) were Arab, obviously there are no Arab ninjas. I would contend that the famed Hashshashin could easily dispatch any “normal” ninja. Without furter adu, Pirates vs. Ninjas Arab Style:
Pirates of the Barbary Coast
-They speak Arrrrrrrrabic
-Great outfits
-Fought the first war against the USA. Payments in ransom and tribute to the Barbary states amounted to 20% of United States government annual revenues in 1800.
-Mere sight of the pirates struck fear in the hearts of sailors
-Appear in several famous novels (Robinson Crusoe, Count of Monte Cristo, Master and Commander)
-Origins of the eye patch as an icon come from an Arab pirate
-Refused to be taken alive
-Have really hot wenches
Hashshashin
-The origins of the word assassin
-masters of disguise
-Do you want some weak ass 15th century harram date wine from those pirates or some weed strong enough to drive you to assasinate kings and princes?
-Screwed with the crusaders
-The sight of the Hashshashin didn’t strike fear in their opponenets hears….they never saw them coming
-Headquarter’s name translates as “Place of the Eagle’s Teaching”….pure pimp
-Had their own martial arts technique called “Janna”
-Have a video game based on them (Assassin’s Creed)
-Ensured their own death when killing others, even if they could plausibly escape
-Were the only Arabs Bernard Lewis liked

Just a friendly reminder to my Arab cousins – don’t forget to boycott this!
It is generally agreed that the greater your sacrifice to the boycott, the greater your contribution. For example, everyone loves Victoria secret’s sexy, lacy lingerie (I know I do!), but by sacrificing this, we are striking a deep blow to the Zionist entity.
Similarly, make sure you boycott this new Israeli imaging technology, especially when one of your family members (or YOU) are on your sickbed and really need it! By doing so, your great sacrifice and martyrdom becomes our even greater triumph!

Pro Tip:
When trolling try to be on topic.
Pro Tip #2:
When trolling about boycotts don’t do it on the post of a guy who in general is skeptical and critical of boycotts.
You are a rookie. There are much more adept trolls on this site. Take some time to learn from the masters before you try again. Good Luck!

Posted by Nimr | January 26, 2009, 2:44 pmIf I deny my Jewish boyfriend mind blowing sexual pleasure, will this strike a blow to the heart of the Zionist entity?
I need a credible answer for this, because this is a major sacrifice – he’s a magic man!
