...Meanwhile the rest of the world is reacting to the Muslims with an amazing cowardice. Instead of a collective fury, we are pleading for forgiveness, and promising not to offend them with any more cartoons. Could anything be more perverted? The same people who are not offended by suicide bombers and terrorist killings, murder, mayhem, and destruction around the world have now decided that a cartoon... "OY VEY IS THIS TERRIBLE!"

Everyday Muslim and European newspapers insult and degrade Jews as animals and rodents, which is not only insulting but, additionally, encourages the hatred of Jews... If the Jewish people applied the same insult standard requiring a death sentence no Muslim would be safe now, anywhere in the world. Could you picture a Jew deciding that he has the right to kill but you have no right to draw an insulting picture?

Nobody has ever died from a cartoon. If the worst thing the Nazis ever did had been to draw cartoons of death camps instead of putting Jews in them, six million Jews would be alive today. When was the last time any country decided to kill a Muslim anywhere in the world because they felt insulted? But the Muslims have created a new international law called the "insult law." This means they have the right to kill you whenever they please, and you have no right to do anything about it. If a Muslim were walking down a street in Israel with a picture of an insulting cartoon in hand, no Israeli would threaten his life. They would be too busy celebrating the fact that it was a cartoon and not a bomb.

Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

Very good! You never win by being a coward. Being a coward is not going to placate our enemy. It will only empower them for the next perceived offence.

[canalabamian]

Please add me to the Moral Clarity ping list. Thanks in advance.

Could you picture a Jew killing anybody for such meaningless reasons? If a Jew gets mad he might sneak into your house and steal your lipitor or he would make a deal with your doctor to lie about your cholesterol number, or just when you have fasted a whole day on Yom Kippur when you finally could eat you would find that he snuck into your house and stole all your pastrami sandwiches. I never saw a Jew going into meaningless fights. That is why you seldom see Jewish football players. A Jew is not going to take a chance in spraining his neck or tearing a ligament in his knee or wrinkling his clothes just because he was fighting with somebody about catching a ball. He would rather go to a store and buy another ball and avoid the whole problem. That is why there are also no Jewish hockey players. Hockey players spend all their time hitting each other in the mouth with sticks. When Jews saw how Gentiles played hockey that is how Jews found out that instead of becoming a hockey player they would become dentists, and that way they decided to let other people play the game while they found a way to make a profit from it.

Funny stuff.

And so odd it is, that some people are more offended by Ann Coulter than they are by the jihadis.

[Rummyfan]

Still waitng for one of the big MSM papers to publish the cartoons.....

Waiting....

Waiting....

No, they're too busy with the Veep's hunting accident, which is also causing them to ignore al ibn Gore's treason.

[Tolik]

Sure.

BTTT

I learned three things in grade school from being the victim of bullies:

1. If they tease you, don't react. It just makes them tease you more.

2. Do not try to appease them. It just makes them come after you harder.

3. A solid punch in the nose usually surprises them enough to get in a few more good shots.

These jerks showed their biggest weakness to us - their inability to take a joke. I hope we all bear in on them mercilessly with sarcasm, irony, hyperbole, anything we can muster against them. No doubt they'll show their true natures more and more.

[Personal Responsibility]

Does anyone else see this big picture as a larger version of "battered wife syndrome"?

They attack us and we (libs, MSM etc...) are led to believe that we are to blame. That we brought it on ourselves. That if we were only just a little nicer they would stop.

But, like abusive husbands, they will not stop by choice regardless of the steps taken by the battered wife.

They can only be made to or forced to stop.

Many battered wives don't necessarily believe this. In many cases the beatings continue until the point where death is imminent. At that moment I can only imagine the battered woman lying half dead thinking "I should have done something"

If the worst thing the Nazis ever did had been to draw cartoons of death camps instead of putting Jews in them, six million Jews would be alive today.

The difference between the Jews and the Muslims is education..The Muslims are like the uneducated blacks in America..They listen to the leaders for advice and that advice is always kill..The Jews listen to God, the Muslims listen to a perverted man that was a child rapist..and a woman hater among a few things..

[NonValueAdded]

Ah, Jackie and Raoul ... so instructive and you get to smile at no extra charge.

[MarMema]

Now they are on the loose in Pakistan.

[Tolik]

To add to the irony is that professional feminists are in hiding also.

I love the self-deprecating humor..."I never saw a Jew going into meaningless fights. ... That is why there are no Jewish hockey players. Hockey players spend all their time hitting each other in the mouth with sticks. When Jews saw how Gentiles played hockey that is how Jews found out that instead of becoming a hockey player they would become dentists, and that way they decided to let other people play the game while they found a way to make a profit from it.

The abusive husband / battered wife metaphor is excellent, but it only goes so far. The battered wife can leave the husband. Are you suggesting we infidels should emigrate to Mars?

Actually, it was me who did the abusive husband / battered wife analogy, so thanks :) .

The point of the analogy is based on the husband, not the wife. The husband is the wrongdoer and therefore is the one who needs to change if the relationship is to work.

So I am not suggesting we leave. I am suggesting that, like abusive husbands, the islamofascists will not change unless forced.

In short, I am all in favor of forcing them.

"I felt like Hitler at a barmitzvah." Jackie mason.

[MajorityOfOne]

Excellent points. The sad part is that European democracies, instead of taking a stand for free speech, seem to be cowering and talking about expanding their already foolish laws against "unacceptable" speech.

[Witch-king of Angmar]

Brilliant!

Dogma = Blasphemy = Evil
... According to Islamic scholars, Muhammad is not to be pictorially depicted in order to avoid idolatry. If he were truly regarded as a humble flesh-and-blood human being who was Blessed and duly Called by the Almighty, it should not be possible to blaspheme him. Yet, when this image is used by others, the reaction is as if this man were himself a Divine entity. Who then are the idolaters here?
