ANOTHER MUSLIM CARTOON ARREST Sure is tough to be a cartoonist lately. The government of Bangladesh has ordered the arrest of another cartoonist for publishing a "blasphemous" caricature of the Prophet Muhammad. Muslim mobs publicly torched the paper, and, of course, you have the required protests. The angry Muslims want "exemplary punishment" for the cartoonist and the paper's editor. Want to see the "blasphemous" cartoon? Here it is, with a translation at the bottom.

It's totally innocuous. Too bad we can't say the same thing about radical Islamists.

I don’t get it.
It’s not exactly a knee slapper.
He didn't ask the name of the cat, but the kid just blindly followed "custom" by mentioning "muhammed" before everything. Essentially labeling muslims as boneheads who insist on doing everything the same way "muhammed" did it. The outrage comes because there is much truth on the observation. Just check out the correct way to use a restroom.
The bathroom I know (live in Saudi couple times, alas -— petroleum engineer and GWI).
Just figured out the “*” denoted the adult.
Still pretty piss-poor joke to get your head chopped off about; he should’ve told the one about Mohammed, the goat, and the 12 year old boy.
Don’t those people have jobs? Seriously . . . everytime they get a thistle in their panties, 7 million of their males appear and are really angry. Shouldn’t they be somewhere . . . like at work? Don’t they work?
Just another culture's version of "Queer and in your face!"
Somebody could really put a dent in local radicalism by setting a trap for them. That is, create an instant newspaper with things guaranteed to upset radicals. Then, when the radicals show up to riot and burn down the newspaper office and maybe kill those inside, waiting for them where they assemble in front of the office would be a car bomb.
By all appearances, it would seem that the crowd of radical Islamists was inadvertently killed by a radical Islamist, who was trying to attack the newspaper himself.
It is called counter-terrorism, in the purest sense of the word, and it quickly takes a lot of the wind out of the sails of the local hotheads.
If done as a systematic campaign, it can be highly effective. For example, starting fights between radical factions—a gang war to cull some of them—like between Hamas and Fatah. Put out hits on radical leaders, making it look like a different leader had him killed.
And since, whenever a prominent leader is killed, his followers have a “protest funeral”, the cemetery is an ideal place to preposition a very large bomb.
It doesn’t take a whole lot of this to really cool the jets of radicals.
"crazy fanatics" of Islams = "crazy fanatics" of Islam
too bad the Democrats are not on our side
This question confused the man, so he asked,"What has the religion got to do with it? It's an inflatable doll!"
"Well," explained the assistant,"The Muslim one blows itself up!"
A: None. If the lightbulb has died, it is the will of Allah, and it would be blasphemy to attempt to change it.
