[cavtrooper21]

It may be a cartoon, but that sure is the truth!!

[Nagual]

Michael Ramirez, the only good thing in the L.A. Times!

[scottinoc]

Says it better than a thousand words.

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

Spot on!

[lilylangtree]

How true!!

[umgud]

Even if Israel didn't exist, don't forget the Koran still calls us infidels.

[beaversmom]

sums up my feelings on the matter

[rageaholic]

The Arab Street has been angry for the past 8 centuries. Its an islam thing. You'd be angry all the time too if you were a "slave" of an angry, vengeful god.

[kimmie7]

Absolute genius. So true.

[antaresequity]

They would still hate us even if we werent freinds with Israel...because they cant seem to accept their own failure as a culture...they need someone to hate..

The Koran does not call you infidels. It speaks of Judaism and Christianity as sister religions.

Infidels are those who persecute people for believing in the God of Moses. That makes a lot of so called Muslims infidels today, Al Qaeda followers especially.

[Feckless]

Actually, Christans and Jews are not considered infidels, as they are "of the book".

Is a political cartoon considered the same as a full length, unexcerpted article? Someone Freep-mail me with the FR logins so I don't have to register to view it.

[coloradan]

I just viewed it and certainly haven't registered.

The Koran does not call you infidels...

BS. The koran specifically calls out christians as being infidels. Read Sura 5, verses 76-79:

"Infidels now are they who say, 'God is the Messiah, Son of Mary;' for the Messiah said, 'O children of Israel! worship God, my Lord and your Lord.' Whoever shall join other gods with God, God shall forbid him the Garden, and his abode shall be the Fire; and the wicked shall have no helpers. They surely are Infidels who say, 'God is the third of three:' for there is no God but one God: and if they refrain not from what they say, a grievous chastisement shall light on such of them as are Infidels."

Bump. And lets keep it that way.

The Koran does not call you infidels. It speaks of Judaism and Christianity as sister religions.

Koran 9:30, The Jews say Ezra is the son of God, while the Christians say the Messiah is the son of God. Such are their assertions, by which they imitate the infidels of old. God confound them! How perverse they are!
