ear the conclusion of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, King Arthur destroys his enemy, a killer rabbit, with The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, a sacred relic carried by Cistercian monk Brother Maynard who is accompanying him.

efore employing the weapon, Brother Maynard and the other monks consult the fictitious Book of Armanents, (Chapter 2, verses 9-21). Particularly important is the counting to three after the pulling of the triggering pin (the surmounted cross); this is complicated by King Arthur's mental block on counting:

"... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen.”

he Book of Armanents adds a phrase about killing the Lord's enemies, in his mercy. This all rather reminds the al-Ghoul staff of various extremist Islamist mulahs, imamas, and others who urge killing kuffars (infidels) in the name of Allah. You've seen them, Oswama bin Laden, his lieutenant Ayman al-Zawahiri, Hizballah's al-Manar broadcasts, sermons on Palestinian Administration television, etc., etc., etc., ad nauseum.
