Incredible. Videos of Bathist torture (nice policemen throwing people off buildings alive among other things) for sale in the market places of Bagdad and the Arab world...No problem.

We get upset with Iranians seeking higher mathematics,nuclear physics, because they clearly to kill people with it.

But Confuse Allah with Mickey Mouse, Garfield, Barney, or Winnie the Pooh and they respond...like it's Armagehdon.

Observe this!! A very vast and almost perfect unified front appears.

What, besides the oil, do we buy from them, that we can not buy from them. And don't buy it.

I totally agree with you. The quality of FreeRepublic as a one-stop-shopping site for news has been compromised lately by numerous story repostings with only slight differences, vanities, and non-newsworthy articles.

There's a comercial on SpikeTV that depicts a fight between Moses and Mohammed. Moses chucks a stone tablet at ol' Mohammed and it cuts the pedophile's head off. I laughed so darn hard.

How about a nice line drawing of a turbaned man playfully making love to a nine year-old girl. Would that be sacrilegious? How about if it really happened? Would the man who did it be guilty of sacrilege?

Who's the irreverent one?
