Have you ever wondered why so many Muslim men are dedicated to killing Americans? Or why so many are willing to blow themselves up to kill Israelis? Or why they are so committed to blowing up random people in Bali, London, Madrid, New York, etc.?

Yes.

But then I found the answer.

Everyone seems to be wondering why Muslim terrorists are so quick to commit suicide.
Let’s see now…
· No music
· No television
· No cheerleaders
· No nude women
· No car races
· No football
· No soccer
· No hot dogs
· No burgers
· No chocolate chip cookies
· No lobsters
· No nachos
· No Beer nuts
· No Beer !!!!!!!!
· Rags for clothes and towels for hats.
· Constant wailing from the guy next-door because he’s sick and there are no doctors.
· Constant wailing from the guy in the tower.
· More than one wife.
· You can’t shave.
· Your wives can’t shave.
· You can’t shower to wash off the smell of donkey cooked over burning camel dung.
· Your bride is picked by someone else.
· She smells just like your donkey.

Then they tell you that when you die it all gets better!

I mean, really, is there a mystery here?
