Opus Censored? (Worry over insults to Muslims?)
The Official Berkley Breathed Website ^ | Berkley Breathed

Posted on 08/23/2007 11:52:05 PM PDT by burzum

Notice on Berkley Breathed Website:

The Opus strips for August 26 and September 2 have been withheld from publication by a large number of client newspapers across the country, including Opus' host paper The Washington Post.

The website also has what looks like part of one of the censored strips which shows Lola Granola in Islamic headgear claiming to be a radical Islamist!

It looks like we have a new entry into the infamous censored cartoons list (Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons, South Park, and Opus).

Posted in 'vanity' since I haven't cited a news article.

There are few greater forces to snap a lib into reality than to have a great big stinking "Fatwa" slapped on him.

Ya’ know, it has not been too long since the rug-rider street went all ballistic over a cartoon with an out-house drawn in it. Seems the camel-pokers assumed the crescent moon on the door was a direct insult to their cult. Of course once they are in full bray, you cannot convince them that outhouses have been portrayed like that for a lo-o-o-ong time.

The cult of islam must be eradicated.

I don’t think there is any way to denegrate Islam enough.
Ya don’t see Christians running around killing folks just because they aren’t your type of Christian or non Christians.

Newspapers are more than willing to print government secrets and keep a precise count of war deaths (of ours, not theirs).

But a risque comic strip and they’re all, “Oh noes, stop the presses!”

If the topic of this cartoon were about Christians or Jews you can bet it would be printed and defended on the basis of free speech.

Islam imposes a threat to the whole world which is far worse than deforestation, nuclear destruction or AIDS. It is an insidious, devilish disease creeping into the veins of the world. Every individual must realise the destructive and evil nature of this religion, for it eats away at the very foundation of humanity which is an individual’s ability to think individually and act accordingly. The following articles logically analyse different aspects of this so called religion and bring forth the true nature of Islam...

why?

...it takes a while to sink in, but what he's telling them is that allah cursed the jews because...they are extremists!"

I'm just geting my head around the concept that with islam the first rule is 'do unto others whatever evil you will (inshallah) and blame everyone else for it!

It's the 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you' turned totally on it's head, so to speak.

The more of those imams I watch on Youtube the better I understand. Did you observe the faces on the 'worshippers'?

btw, anyone who equates a mosque with a church, or islam with any religion on earth needs to listen to the imams spewing forth hatred and death.

Thanks.

My head starts to spin when these imams and their rationalizing gets going.
