LOL.. careful DS, don't ya remember that fit CAIR had over Johnny Hart's "outhouse" cartoon strip"
'B.C.' cartoon seen as slur of IslamThe Council on American-Islamic Relations once again is demanding an apology for an alleged slur of Muslims, this time asserting a veteran cartoonist has cryptically defamed Islam...
...Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR's spokesman, is sure it's a defamation of Islam...
...Along with the moons, CAIR's e-mail noted that Hart drew a sound effect "SLAM" between two frames to accompany the closing of the outhouse door. The SLAM, which was rendered vertically in the shape of an I, could be viewed as "Islam," CAIR said...
Wait until they find out what I tear out pages the pages of the unholy Koran for. If they produce a version with more absorbent and flushable pages, I may never go back to my old brand...
That cartoon contains an error. Instead of "slam"...shouldn't that be "Islam."
"Also in 2003, Smith was in the news again after allegedly throwing a crucifix out a hospital window where his mother was being treated. According to officials at the San Salvatore Hospital, Smith told them that his mother "will not die in a room where there is a crucifix."
Then he should have taken his mother out of the room, out of the hospital, and preferably out of the country!

No, not screwed up, and of course I believe what I post. Proof being, I can also defend my views calmly.
Blasphemy is a violation of individual rights.
Please prove this assertion.
I'm fascinated to hear how you have a God given right not to be offended.

Let me ask you this. If someone insults your wife in front of your children, what would your reaction be?
