juggling balls brought to you by the fine folks of america. enjoy!!
This, most surely, must be against Isalm becasue what isn't? What a fun religion Islam is. Or Christianity for that matter. Let's face it, during histroy, when the Popes and Bishops had total control, we had the Inquistion, the Crusades, and what other fun stuff? Oh yeah, religion is not supposed to be fun, or loving, or understanding, or accepting, It's supposed to be repressive, exclusive, stuffy, closed minded, and controlling. If you truly loved God, you would understand. I know because God appointed me to tell you, and that Martin Luther Reformation thing. Forget about it. It was just a quirk. The real truth IF an annointed one says its wrong, its wrong, EVEN IF it's nowhere in the Bible or Koran. Some interpretation and rewriting is required. We'll do that for you. Don't worry about it. You worry about being silent and submissive and we'll take care of everything else.
Sadly, my first thought was, "oh, those girls look cute juggling, having fun, like any 'normal' kid... when does the Taliban start the beheadings?"
"Cirque du soleil" has finnaly arrived in Afghanistan! Bravo NATO!!!
