''The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group
called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this.
But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in
the presence of an identified entity representing the 'devil' only
in order to drive the TV watcher to accept a unified international
leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this
propaganda is the US . . ."
-- Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook
"Ana raicha Al Qaeda" is colloquial for "I'm going to the
toilet". A very common and widespread use of the word "Al-Qaeda" in
different Arab countries in the public language is for the toilet
bowl. This name comes from the Arabic verb "Qa'ada" which mean "to
sit", pertinently, on the "Toilet Bowl". In most Arabs homes there
are two kinds of toilets: "Al-Qaeda" also called the "Hamam Franji"
or foreign toilet, and "Hamam Arabi" or "Arab toilet" which is a
hole in the ground. Lest we forget it, the potty used by small
children is called "Ma Qa'adia" or "Little Qaeda".
So, if you were forming a terrorist group, would you call
yourself, "The Toilet"?
