That has nothing to do with evolution; it's not witty, it's crude; it doesn't use an Islamic symbol, and it's not directed specifically at fundamentalist Islam

In other words you are too chicken to post an anti Fundamentalist Islam symbol or wear an anti-Fundamentalist Islam T-Shirt, but you feel free to walk into class wearing a desecrated Christian Ichthus symbol to show your distaste for Fundamentalist Christians. Well lets see you publicly show your distaste for Funadamentalist Islamicists. Wear something like that to teach your class. I dare you.

Put up or shut up.

Interesting. I googled 'Ichthus symbol' and the first entry was from A Religious Tolerance web site. It seems this symbol has a pre-Christian history.

What you are calling a "desecrated Christian Ichthus symbol" could also be taken as a symbol that implies Christianity and the ToE are compatible and complimentary. This is what many Christian religions think.

It seems to me it's all in the eye of the beholder, or the offended.

No, I'm unwilling to wear a shirt that inserts a swastika into the word Islam. I don't care for the religion, but I wouldn't associate it with the Nazis. There's a difference between being courageous, and being a rabid bigoted buffoon like yourself.

BTW, let's just see if the emblem you posted is acceptable on FR.

Eh? I don't see how that symbol specifies fundamentalist Islam. It seems like a broad and somewhat irrational "Nazi" smear against any form of it.
