*snicker*.....that's why mass e-mailing is done. They won't tell us but, by golly, I don't mind telling them. Others do it, too, with articles and letters such as this. :-)

Thought all of the good Canteeners would see the irony in this. We;re over ehre trying to give the Iraqi's the freedoms we enjoy in the U.S. and back home the so-called Islamic "leaders" like Ibrahim Hooper at CAIR are seeing skulls and crossed bones in ice cubes with a silly B.C. cartoon. Credit for this article goes to opinionjournal.com Enjoy.

"The crybabies at the Council on American Islamic Relations say they're being persecuted in the funny papers. At issue is the Nov. 10 B.C. strip, drawn by Johnny Hart. The first panel features a man walking uphill, approaching an outhouse. Then the word SLAM appears, and the second panel shows the outhouse sitting atop the hill. The third panel has a cartoon bubble, as the man inside the outhouse says, "Is it just me, or does it stink in here?"

That's kind of stupid, but why would it be anti-Islamic? The Washington Post explains:

The first public questioning of this cartoon arose in a washingtonpost.com chat Tuesday, when a reader noted that the cartoon seemed to make no sense, except metaphorically. The reader noted that the cartoon contained six crescent moons--three in the sky, and three on the outhouse door--and wondered if this might have been a veiled slur on the world's 1 billion practicing Muslims.

The CAIR e-mail mentioned the moons, and also noted that Hart had drawn a prominent sound effect--"SLAM"--between two frames to accompany the closing of the outhouse door. The SLAM was stacked vertically, in the shape of an I, and could be seen to signify "Islam." The cartoon appeared on the 15th day of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month.

First they came for B.C., then they came for the Wizard of Id . . ."


Meanwhile the war here in Iraq Continues.
