Hey all,
I heard on CNN that the Pentagon was originally going to call the coming
war "Operation Infinite Justice." At first this sounded a bit cheesy to me,
like the title of Jean-Claude Van Daam movie--- however, I learned last
night that the reason for the name is that (supposedly) in the Islamic
religion, Allah is known as the bringer of Infinite Justice (the operation
name has now been dropped as being offensive to some).
A quick glance through the sparse texts I have on the subject of Islam
reveal no reference to "Infinite Justice" at all... I was wondering if
anyone more knowledgeable in this field (maybe Rasheed?) could confirm or
deny the supposed origin of the "Infinite Justice" name.
thanks
rick
