globalization and jihad

I grabbed this picture from Drudge. The man behind the mask is presumably one of al-Sadr's “Mahdi Army” thugs.

No deeper metaphor, really: I just found it odd.

not really that funny?

After all the sanctions USA has given on muslims countries?

Stealth bombers and State of the art uniforms?

Okay: let's take it from the top, shall we?

I never claimed to find the image funny; I just found the juxtaposition of the Nike swoosh with militant Shi'ism rather striking. Which is, after all, what the post says.

Curious, also, that you seem to think that any group calling itself an "army" is one. Perhaps you believe that police are responsible for the poor outfitting of criminal gangs?
