Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Oh you guys are SO trying to wind some people up 🙂
I don’t get it.
ET wrote – “I don’t get it.”
The point is that only followers of God are suicide bombers – even Satanists don’t stoop that low.
Though I should add that I put this up because it made me laugh, rather than because it was some sort of profundity…
Nor do atheists.
Yep – gave them all to Allah
Joe – and the difference is …?
Ah, but if there were wahabi-type fanatics prepared to “martyr” themselves in the name of Satan I wonder if instead of 72 ‘black-eyed houris’ they would get 72 Anna Nicole Smiths, and an especially bestial martyr (Beslan type) would get a Paris Hilton thrown in free?
Julian – Anna Nicole is too good for them. She has smarts, however you define them. Paris Hilton, OK.
Is green your favourite colour Verity?
In what sense, Ernest? Green’s the colour of envy. So tell us: what, in your calculations, would I envy? The now rich Anna Nicole or the now petite nosed Paris Hilton?
Are you drunk?
Nor does Jesus.
Actually, *all* suicide bombers belong to Satan by definition since suicide is forbidden by both the Bible and the Koran. ^_^
As for there being no atheist suicide bombers? Maybe you should look again. One of the earlier posts in Samizdata did point out that Islamic terrorism had its roots in Leftist atheist ideology rather than in traditional Islam. Moreover, more than one 19th Century Anarchist did use guns or explosives to scrag others in circumstances where they themselves knew they would die. Since those anarchists are the ideological ancestors of the Liberterian movement one can say that Liberterian atheists were the *inventors* of suicide bombing. ^~^
(Takes a moment to point at every atheist in this message board and snicker). ^_~
Maybe there are none in hell because hell for a suicide bomber is being admitted to heaven and forgiven. Or being told categorically that there is neither God nor Satan. Or for the real, real bad ones, being forced to watch UK daytime TV.
Verity,
Charming as ever…. I always felt you were a ‘red’ person, always so angry at the world, with rarely a good thing to say about anything. Now I detect a patina of green, as you so rightly say, the colour of envy…
No I’m not drunk, unlike your goodself, I can be snarky while being quite sober.
The Snark Who Was Really A Boojum, what verse from the Bible do you have to suggest it forbids suicide?
Hey Verity,
One of those complex nuance thingy’s 😉
Joe, Well, I think that’s the first time I’ve been accused of being nuancy. It was more of a lunge really, and I missed. I was trying to make the connection between two mythical beings being avatars of each other – Satan and Allah. But it didn’t work.
Besides, regarding Satan, sometimes I hae ma doots.
I find the thought comforting.
One less hazard in hell.
Actually the first suicide terrorists I ever ran into were Marxist Leninist PFLP types in 1974.
That religion has more or less collapsed, so will Islamofascism.
PS I saw a great T shirt on the subway last month, a picture of the devil saying “Jesus is busy, How may I help you?
