The protest concerned a cartoon by artist Lars Vilks, which showed the head of Muhammad on the body of a dog.

Just think how upset the muzzies would be if the artist had drawn the head of Muhammad on the body of a PIG.

What gets me is the logic -

No one is ever supposed to make an “image of Muhammed” (though I make one every day then flush it).

So, supposedly, no image has ever been made.

How do the rage boys know what Muhammed looks like,
and therefore, how do they know that this cartoon is “Muhammed”?

“Just think how upset the muzzies would be if the artist had drawn the head of Muhammad on the body of a PIG.”

- Yes, a devout Muslim would probably get even more enraged by such a drawing than if anyone cut the throat of his mother and paraded around with her head on a pole while humming Village People tunes all day long.

I think the bigger question is what kind of a society considers dogs unclean and groups them with pigs? There’s something horribly wrong and inhuman with that.

“What gets me is the logic”

- Muslim rage sure has a logic of its own.

A typical example is this common attitude;

“-Kill everyone who says Islam is violent!”

You might recall some of the Islamofascist reactions in connection to the Pope quoting a 14th century Byzantine emperor, namely Manuel II Paleologus, who accused Islam for spreading its faith by the sword.

While it’s important to point out that many Muslims are not Islamofascists, it’s even more important to realize how fanatic and downright insane many other Muslims actually are.

All animals are animals, but some animals are more animals than others.

What was said:
"Regrettably, the tendency among some Europeans to mix the freedom of expression with an outright and deliberate insult to 1.3 billion Muslims in the world is on the rise"...

What was meant:

"Fortunately, the tendency among most Muslims to nix the freedom of expression with an outright and deliberate threat to 4.7 billion non-Muslims in the world is on the rise"...

I'll believe there are really 1.3 billion Muslims in the world when there's no more death penalty for converting to something else, and no Dhimmitude, in Muslim countries.

Before the Swedes apologize for this cartoon, how ‘bout the Muslims apologize for their ongoing violence, persecution, beheading, and terrorizing of the Christians and other “infidels” since the 7th century.

- Islamofascism sure has a lot of inner enemies. In the long run, I don’t think it can survive. It’s intrinsic to human nature to strive for extended freedom. The real problem connected to Islamofascism is the amount of human suffering it will cause before it is eradicated.

Things like Sharia laws are like taxes; some people wish to enforce them on others while few people think they themselves ought to be more heavily taxed.
