Are these people idiots? That’s going to go over like a fart in church....

“there are some tricky and delicate issues here. Some believe that freedom of speech gives them the right to make remarks critical of or disparaging toward Islam. On the other hand, Islam commands its faithful to fight against, subdue, and slay those who insult their beliefs. The only way we can see to head off potential violent confrontations is to interdict the insults through official prohibitions.”

This guy is kidding, right? That part about "...the only way we can see to..." Right. Nothing is as dangerous as an idea when it is the only one you have.

Here's another idea. Re-read the 1st Amendment. If some Muslim thinks his/her right to practice their religion trumps my right to free speech they are wrong. Heck, just not being Muslim, being Christian can be seen as an "insult" to Islam in some whack-jobs' eyes.

Do not head down this path. Do not. It will not stop.

[Slings and Arrows]

In the US this is a parody. In the UK and Europe I’m not so sure.

Obama could give Muslims in America antitank missiles.

“If we can persuade Muslims that the Government will impose satisfactory sanctions against persons who insult their religion there will be no need for them to take matters into their own hands,” Killian argued.

That's perfect, John. Jay Carney will be able to quote you directly.

On the other hand, Islam commands its faithful to fight against, subdue, and slay those who insult their beliefs.

Isn’t that an anti-Muslim comment? Guess the administration is going Muslim. When will the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, decide we need Sharia law?

Def: hate speech, is never disagreeing with any ethnic group and allowing them to skirt the laws and say and do as they please even if it jeopardizes the safety of you and your family

Oh, you had me with this one John.
Biting satire is often indistingushable
from truth.

These kind of remarks would not surprise me a bit.

[wintertime]

John, sometimes I can barely stand to read your excellent posts with your amazingly witty satire.

They hurt my heart, too much. :-(

[oldtech]

Wouldn’t it make more sense to go after the real problem? This is America & those who are trying to change it have the option of leaving anytime they don’t like the ideas set forth in our Constitution.

[Flintlock]

“Free exercise” of their so-called “religion” by Muzziedom means they get to chop off yer haid—YOU STUPID KAFFIR!!

Just blow your own brains out and be done with it all!

[wastedyears]

I counted 7 people you duped so far.

I was reading it and telling myself “Oh no, there’s no way he’s going there.”

[Chode]

doesn't matter what happens, the goathumpers are safety wired to the terrorist/murderous thug position anyway so fill in the blank...

[rawcatslyentist]

satisfactory sanctions = death

Mad Moe's Murder Cult demands nothing less!

[ReformationFan]

Sounds like what Western governments are doing in reality.

In related news, First Lady Michelle Obama justified her pricy world travels by declaring that “splurging is the key to life. When you have the opportunity to do something interesting or exciting you should grab it.” In the last year the First Lady has grabbed over $20 million from taxpayers for trips to Dublin, Africa, and Hawaii. She also has a retinue of 26 personal servants consuming a total of $1.7 million a year to tend to her every need.

Okay, I would wager that there is some (semi?) satire in this.

(Still looking.)

Another Semi-Pulitzer-worthy column John.
