Cartoon Upsets Muslims (Thinned Skinned Islamists With Self Esteem Issues Angry, Again)

Cartoon upsets Muslims

Anton Ferreira

Zapiro’s dig at a Sunday newspaper’s zero tolerance for Satanism upsets some readers.

Cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro — better known as Zapiro — has riled Muslims with a cartoon that portrays Allah, but he is unrepentant.

“I do these things because I believe in freedom of expression,” Shapiro said, acknowledging that his cartoon in the Cape Times yesterday had landed him in hot water.

He said he understood the cartoon had provoked a flood of angry SMS messages from the Muslim community.

It was drawn in support of columnist Deon Maas, who was fired by Rapport newspaper last week after he argued that people should be allowed to believe in Satan if they wanted to.

The Zapiro cartoon included pictures of, among others, Allah, Jehovah, the Holy Trinity, Shiva and Satan. The caption said there was no proof that any of them actually existed.

Shapiro said the three major religions — Christianity, Islam and Judaism — were responsible for many more deaths and more oppression than could be attributed to Satanists.

Shapiro, who is being sued by Jacob Zuma over his cartoons, said he was not surprised that people had gone “ballistic”.

Devout believers should “take a step back” from their religious fervour and realise belief systems were created by humans, he said.

The Muslim Judicial Council, based in the Western Cape, said it had noted the cartoon and was drafting a response.

Cape Times editor Tyrone August said the paper had received only one complaint about the cartoon by early afternoon yesterday.

Grow some nuts muzzies...Christians in the U.S. have had to put up with NEA funded blasphemy art, and the worst that happens is some letters to Congress, a lively debate on The McLaughlin Group , and policy tweaking when it comes to taxpayer funded art.

Muzzies...learn to be tolerant of those who mock Islam. It will mean that you are coming closer to finally arriving to the 21st century.

Otherwise...you and your fellow muslim minions' religion will be further relegated to continued "Religion of Peace" status.

Every magazine and paper in the Western world should print cartoons making fun of the mohammedans..then they’ll realize we’re not the wimps they think we are. And if they make any more moves to cause destruction, well, it’ll start their long overdue self destruction. Uh oh, I just woke up from a dream, never mind.

True enough, if you choose to believe that Satan was not involved in Communism and Nazism.

To be fair, the deaths and oppression associated with Judaism is also a very small number, at least over the last 2000 years.

I read the article, but couldn’t make heads or tails of it until I saw the ‘toon in post # 2. The author needs to learn the power of paragraphs.

Religion has not been responsible for the deaths of anyone. People who have used Religion as an excuse for perpetrating evil against other people are responsible for the deaths this man is referring to.

“Moderate” Muslims never denounce or protest the terrorism or extreme actions of their religion. But draw a picture of Allah or Mohamed and heads will roll... literally.

Not if one counts Hitler and Stalin as being satanists.

Cartoon Current Excuse For Perpetually Angry Muslims To Be Upset

(Angry, Thin Skinned Islamists With Self Esteem Issues Still Thin Skinned, Upset, & Angry)

Dear Father in Heaven, on this Thanksgiving Day, let me again give thanks that I was not born in one of their sandpiles filled with hate and deception; but born and raised in a time and place where I could freely hear and heed Thy Word. Amen. P.S. Please forgive Jonathan Shapiro for including panels “G”, “K”, and “N”; but lead him to knowledge.

So what the heck is the point? How many people actually know a Satanist? I haven't seen any places of worship anywhere for Satanist's.

Usually it's the liberals who point out that some people need "anger management".

How could these short-fused crazies have gotten past them...unless they have been granted some kind of useful immunity by Goerge Soros and his "Soros Chorus" at his various internet indoctrination centers that we know so well.
