awesome...
screw radicals... of any religion or type

I think one of these is the reprinted cartoon:


If you are going to say you are glad you are not religious, I am going to downvote your comment.

I'm always struck by photos that show these protesters burning the flags of the hated-country-du jour. Does anyone else wonder where they get those flags? Maybe there's a big honking International Flag Shop smack dab in the middle of the town square ;)

I'd be able to get behind this more if the cartoons were very good. they aren't.

Honestly that seems like a mildly disrespectful portrayal to me as well. While I realize the objection is against any portrayal at all, I can understand some of the anger I think.

This seems like a publicity stunt to me.

I don't care how free you want your speech to be that is just rude and childish.

What exactly is rood and childish?

OK, I don't get this. Let's see, Muhammad was born when? According to Wikipedia, 570 CE. That's a LONG time ago. Just exactly who the hell knows what Muhammad really looks like? For all we know, these drawings of Muhammad could be any of the millions of Islams that are named after their supreme prophet (you know you all look alike to us anyway). Gonna get comments from that statement I just know it.

So, I don't get it. Why is it OK to name your children after your prophet, yet you can't even draw or paint a picture him?

That is truly f**ked up for sure.

And don't even get me started on the be-heading thing.

it's...a...comic.

ugh.

We all had a good laugh at the disturbing post around christmas with all the wacky Jesus paraphenalia.

I guess they don't have the same rules of engagement for satire.

Childish? Or does it hint at a very profound and adult idea?

To me this cartoon is saying "this is what you terrorists have made mohammed into." They have taken a reveared man who people are expected to love and turned him into a symbol of violence.



Regardless, I'd like to thank mahler and spamtrap for posting the image here. I'm sure jax will also be thankful when they suicide bomb his schoolbus.

...sorry jax...

That is not what it looks like to me at all. To me it is no different than if someone were to draw Jesus in a KKK cloak and hood.

I think the difference here is that if that were to occur, large groups of Christians would not get together and burn flags and develop elaborate plans to kill the creators of the cartoon.

And to qualify, I am not a Christian. I don't really agree with the fundamentalist Christian worldview. I am generally opposed to organized religion overall. But I don't think I am wrong in saying that, with the possible exception of the Fred Phelps in the world, Christians would not have this kind of reaction.

And would you suddenly decide to kill someone who drew such an image?
That's the point.

mahler87 said it better, sorry...

FAQs, the middle of the fourth post discusses video tags. Read the rest of the FAQs too, as they cover a lot of important things.

It worked the first time... sorry. I can't embed. It shows the video when I paste the code, then it turns into jiberish again...
Images I can handle - not videos apparently.

How's that for a radical view..., you radical anti-radical, you!

An atheist professor was teaching a college class when he told the class that he was going to prove that there is no God.

He said, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you 15 minutes!" Ten minutes went by.

He kept taunting God, saying, "Here I am, God. I'm still waiting."

He got down to the last couple of minutes when a Marine, just released after a year of combat duty in Iraq, and newly registered in the class, walked up to the professor, hit him full force in the face, and sent him flying from his platform.

The professor struggled up, obviously shaken and yelled, "What's the matter with you? Why did you do that?"

The Marine replied, "God's a little busy watching over my buddies in Iraq; He sent me with His reply!!!!"

==============Edit
I think Abraham was the first terrorist. Isaac would have been the first victim.

That was pretty funny.

The morality is still terrorist morality,
however funny it is.
