They should not show these photo, according to my local editor
"To do so would needlessly offend many in our community and would add little to the debate."
<< Oh, how tolerant of you indeed! >>
Lighten up, G-K or we'll begin wondering about your IQ, again.
It was a joke.
Get that?
[The first prerequisite of a sense of humor is an above-average IQ. And for such a well-developed sense-of-the-ridiculous as mine? Pure genius! Get used to it]
Here's a better example:

The ironies of the cartoon jihad
Giving kultur kampf an entirely different meaning
By Jackie Mason and Raoul Felder
http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0206/mason021406.php3?printer_friendly - The Muslims have pronounced their verdict. The cartoon man has been found guilty. The real crime is, of course, not being a Muslim. Now that they have established the crime, they have also pronounced the sentence. Even if you never saw or heard of the cartoon, you deserve to be hit with rocks, your car wrecked, and your embassies destroyed because you are an infidel — and incidentally, there are no appeals. There was even television coverage of a Muslim religious leader screaming in some unintelligible language. However, on the bottom of the screen the translation appeared. This religious leader was shouting that whoever drew the cartoon should have his hands cut off. This hardly seems for us to be a reasonable penalty for somebody taking a piece of paper, picking up a pen, and drawing something.
Could you picture a Jew doing something like this? Ironically, the cartoonists were not even condemning Islam, they were merely creating a satire of a terrorist. They weren't insulting their religion, they were satirizing a fanatic. But, the Muslims have decided that there are no laws, limits, or boundaries that apply to their behavior. They not only have the right to take your life, they now have the right to rob you of your freedom of expression.
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.
Jews are never known to get into unnecessary physical battles. That is why people are never afraid of being attacked by a Jew. Did you ever hear anybody say, "Don't go into that neighborhood it is very dangerous, there are a lot of Jews there?" Jews have for so long been accustomed to being threatened and persecuted all over the world that they could never dream of creating needless violence anywhere because they would be grateful to even find a place where they are allowed to live in peace. Jews could never dream of threatening innocent people with inexcusable violence. 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. But did you ever hear any Jewish authority anywhere demanding that we find any of these cartoonists so that we can choke them to death or cut them up. Did you ever hear of an Israeli death squad searching for a cartoonist? 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.
<< Never too old to make love eh? >>
Dunno, I don't know any old people and am in any case too polite to inquire about such matters.
But I love you.

Mumbai, February 13: Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on Monday suggested an Indian alternative to Valentine’s Day and said it could be named after legendary lovers ‘Laila Majnu’ or ‘Heer Ranjha’ or ‘Bajirao-Peshwe Mastani’.
“Any way, you youngsters do this thing throughout the year. You don’t need a special day for it,” Thackeray was quoted saying in Sena’s mouthpiece Saamna on the eve of the Valentine’s Day.
“If you want to select the day, then select it in the name of ‘Laila-Majnu’, ‘Heer-Ranjha’ and ‘Bajirao Peshwe-Mastani’, he said.
Deputy Chief Minister R R Patil, who banned dance bars, is tolerating things like Valentine’s Day, Thackeray said.
The Sena chief congratulated college principals who had banned celebration of Valentine’s Day in their colleges.
Shiv Sainiks should continue to strongly oppose ‘hi-fi’ culture in the name of Valentine’s Day which is sought to be propagated in the country, Thackeray said.
This is why they don't "get" Love:
I John 4
7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God.
8He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.
9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
Okay, let's go find another planet, this one is infested with idiots. Evil Valentine's day indeed!
I am pleased to see this universal form which was never seen by me before, and at the same time my mind is terrified with fear. Therefore, please reveal to me Your previous form. O God of Gods, O Refuge of the Universe, be gracious to me.
-Bhagavad Gita 11.45
To those who are constantly devoted and worship Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me.
-Bhagavad Gita 10.10
Out of Compassion for them, I, dwelling in their hearts, destroy with the shining lamp of knowledge the darkness born of ignorance.
-Bhagavad Gita 10.11
‘Laila-Majnu’ are Indians?
Thakray should get his brains checked.
The Religion of Peace Idiocy
"This is why they don't "get" Love: "
Ours is the land of Kamasutra.
KEWL! Thanks for the ping.
<< Hadn't much time to catch up with all the anti-India nonsense piling up at FR. >>
Ever the conspiricy theorist, eh, G-K?
Oh well, you are not alone hereabouts so you won't be lonely.
FR has lots of other Narcissists and paranoiacs.
And we take Good care of all our nutters and eccentrics.
[In any case, though, Dear G-K, only twenty FReepers have even heard of India and fewer than that number of us know where to find it on a map. So relax, why don't you. I guarantee that not a single one of us spends an instant in a year dreaming up anti-Indian-isms. We love you, G-K. All of you. All fewer than ten of us]
Agreed. At best you can only hope for a draw.
