'Jihadist Idol' Debuts on Al-Jazeera

The al-Qaeda terror network today named a successor to fallen terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi on a reality show broadcast on the Arabic-language al-Jazeera network entitled "Jihadist Idol."

After performing well in several hotly-contested talent categories, Sheikh Abu Hamza al-Muhajir emerged as the favorite of al-Qaeda terrorists worldwide, who jammed al-Jazeera's switchboards to cast their votes for the terror group's newest star.

The broadcast, which was watched by millions of jihadist madmen worldwide, featured a trio of judges led by al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, whose judging style was described by one network source as "like Simon Callow, only nicer."

According to the source, al-Qaeda decided to choose Zarqawi's successor on a reality show because "being able to perform on television is becoming an increasingly important part of a terror mastermind's skill-set." "Most people think that a terrorist's job consists of blowing things up, kidnapping people or sabotaging oil pipelines," the source said. "The fact is, the average al-Qaeda leader spends most of his time saying scary things into a TV camera."

While Sheikh Abu Hamza al-Muhajir scored well in such talent categories as "Making Spooky Videos," "Calling for Death to America," and "Looking Convincing Holding a Machine Gun," the source said the jury is still out as to whether Zarqawi's successor has what it takes to succeed. "There really should be a talent category called 'Surviving a 500-Pound Bomb,'" the source said.


Peace ya'll......
