Mum's big crush on Hamza

Mum's big crush on Hamza

Pity you can't see the full article online, but trust me - if this old mama gets her hands into Hamza, he'll need both hooks fully-sharpened to survive. Should be a battle royale!

It actually makes me wonder if we shouldn't use humiliation more in the fight against the Islamists - it had notable success during the Iraq invasion:

"...as American armored columns pushed down the road to Baghdad, 400-watt loudspeakers mounted on Humvees would, from time to time, blare out in Arabic that Iraqi men are impotent. The Fedayeen, the fierce but undisciplined and untrained Iraqi irregulars, could not bear to be taunted. Whether they took the bait or saw an opportunity to attack, many Iraqis stormed out of their concealed or dug-in positions, pushing aside their human shields only to be confronted with American tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles."

I'm not sure I can endorse humiliation quite so whole heartedly. This is your more Steynian side showing I think.
