"Quite a few threatened mutilation and death."

Well, maybe he should act in the manner described in the Torah, and kill them first.

Actually, if someone threatened me in such a manner, as a Christian I might employ the same strategy.

"Osama" is now one of the most popular names for new born Arab males.

Bumping.

I hate when different papers change the title of the article. Sorry I eneded up posting a duplicate thread

Given the nature of Mohammad's "ministry" in which he used the most modern weapons available in his day to kill or assimilate the nations of his world into his belief system, how can anyone deny that he would do the same today?

If some people take this cartoon as offensive i think it's funny that they are offended.

[Grut]

Just ask the Arabs currently being held in detention without being charged with a crime. That's how it works in totalitarian regimes.

'Arabs' like Yaser Hamdi?

My all time favorite Marlette cartoon:

[Celtjew Libertarian]

After all, we don't need constitutional protection to run boring, inoffensive cartoons. We don't need constitutional protection to make money from advertising. We don't need constitutional protection to tell readers exactly what they want to hear. We need constitutional protection for our right to express unpopular views.

Just wanted to see that passage again.

No one is less tolerant than those demanding tolerance. A certain humorlessness, self-righteousness and literal-mindedness bind them. Despite differences of culture and creed, they all seem to share the egocentric notion that there is only one way of looking at things -- their way -- and that others have no right to see things differently.

Here is my answer to them: In this country, we do not apologize for our opinions. Free speech is the linchpin of our republic. All other freedoms flow from it. I realize this may be a repugnant concept for many of those who wrote, but let me be clear. I do not apologize for my drawing.

As a free verse writer of poetry I wish to add a huge AMEN to this author/cartoonists thoughts! This is the United States of America, what he draws and what I write are our opinions, thoughts, feeelings, etc. We have the right to express them with out running around apologizing for them!

[SAMWolf]

If we can't discuss the great issues of the day on those pages of our newspapers, fearlessly and without apology, where can we discuss them? In the streets with guns? In cafes with detonator vests and strapped-on bombs?

The prefered methods of the likes of Hamas, PLO, Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

I'm so sick of the Liberals with their opinion of "You only have the right to say what you want, as long as it's something I want to hear"

Great post - thank you.

"My only regret is that the thousands who e-mailed me complaining felt that my drawing was an assault upon their religion or its founder. It was not. It was an assault on the distortion of their religion by murderous fanatics and zealots."

I wonder if Mr. Marlette knows that it's the moslem fanatics who are true to the moslem scriptures, not the "peaceful" moslems he's thinking of.

[reg45]

I kept thinking Camel.

[desertcry]

I can't remember CAIR or any other muslim group apologize laudly for what their murderous muslim brothers did in the name of Allah on 9.11.01. It's well over a year now, and we are still waiting.

IMHO, Doug Marlette is a great cartoonist (FAR better than, say, the unfunny what's-his-face who draws Doonesbury). (My church wound up on his skewer list at least once but it doesn't really count, I guess, because it echoes a joke we make about ourselves). It was a sign, though, that the local paper was turning left when, sadly, they dropped his "Kudzu" strip. Now I have to read it online.

No one is less tolerant than those demanding tolerance.

That's the most devastatingly succinct description of the left that I've heard yet.
