I don’t care who you are… I don’t care whose political kool-aid you drink… the folks at Right Wing Stuff have got themselves some funny apparel. For sure, Islam is a blast! 
And notice the smiley face… that’s an American symbol that means: I’m making a joke, and that I don’t think all Muslims are suicide bombers, but that if you can’t take a joke you should lock yourself in a lightproof, soundproof cell. That’s what the smiley means.
And really, I think I’ve been a bit derelict on not mentioning anything about the insanity going on right now… over some cartoons!? Christians are being tortured and killed simply for believing in God, and these other folks are bloodthirsty because of a cartoon?! I’m watching Muslim protesters holding signs calling for the death of the cartoonists, the newspaper editors, and all other infidels (foreign or domestic). Should I mention that these people don’t have a particularly peaceful track record? How about the Jewish cartoons that the Islamic press puts out? [mark this day because it ain't gonna be often that I link to the ADL]
How often have we seen Christians blasted in the US media? Yet, I don’t remember Jerry Falwell organizing the burning of the New York Times or the French Embassy… maybe I missed it. I couldn’t even tell you the last time the Southern Baptist Convention beheaded someone and leaked the tape to FoxNews… maybe I missed it. I couldn’t even tell you the last time the Greek Orthodox Church bombed a Roman Catholic Church because they wanted to increase their influence in Queens!?… maybe I missed it.
And I don’t hear much outcry from the Islamic community, here or abroad, for all the atrocities and animal behavior… maybe I missed it. Maybe I’m a hypocritical rabble rouser. Maybe I don’t understand the virtues of killing women and children and destroying buildings over a cartoon.
Yep… I missed it.

Thanks for the plug.
Stifling speech is what fascists do best, whether they’re Nazis or Muslims.
You have turned my brain onto cafepress and the possibilities…. and in the meantime you have some GREAT stuff there. So thank YOU. I need to get an “Islam is a blast!” mug for work as a testament to my total commit(t)ment to diversity.
Great post! Balance is severely lacking in this cartoon fiasco, as your musings point out.
This hysteria underscores a huge difference between Christianity and every other religion, especially Islam. Christians understand that the world will hate us. Jesus set the stage by responding with love to insult and injury, and he taught us to expect the same treatment; and, for the most part, we do. Islam is, obviously, not in concert.
A Muslim martyr ends up in paradise and asks for his 72 virgins. They appear and they ask him what he wants. He says, “I have just sacrificed myself with 100kgs of high explosives against the pork eating infidels”. One of the virgins picks up an eyeball and a finger, and says “we have not been able to find anything else, what do you want to do now”?
A Muslim runs to his village elder. He asks the elder if he heard the news. A group of Muslim youths have detonated a nuclear bomb in Russia, Europe and the USA, killing themselves and millions of others. Half of Europe Russia and the USA have been destroyed. The elder turns to the young man and says, “shame, I wonder what drove them to do that”?
Q What do Muslims call a Jew living in a Muslim Country?
A One Jew too many.
Q Am Israeli Jew desperately needs a heart transplant, He gets one from a Palestinian Arab. The operation turns out to be a success. Unfortunately he can’t help stop throwing rocks against himself.
Q How do you know a Mussie is lying?
A His lips are moving
Q What is the difference between a Muslim Martyr and a Christian or Jewish one?
A The Christian and Jewish Martyr says I am willing to die for my religion, the Muslim says I am willing to make YOU die for my religion.
Let’s all remember where all of this comes from. The Muslims have been spreading Islam by the sword for years. They spread across north africa and invaded the Iberian peninsula. Europe would be muslim right now if it werent for their being stopped in AD 702 @ the battle of Tours. Even then, the “Reconquista” of Spain took until shortly before columbus sailed in 1492. The Muslims in the middle east were at contant war with the byzantine empire until it fell in 1454. The Ottomans thereafter launched canstant invasions into europe, making incursions as far as Vienna, Austria, where they were turned back by the king of poland, John III Sobieski. Now, they still war with Hindu India and Jewish Israel. Killing as a form of conversion has been a tradition for hundreds of years.
I made a mistake. The Battle of Tours was in 732. And there is no formal war against India, but there are ethnic cleansing riots
On a more serious note I notice that in the majority muslim country like malaysia a handful of christian converts who tried to build a christian church, and the muslims authorities bulldozed it down. Now you try and bulldoze one mosque in majority christian country like europe or the USA and you have WWIII!

For those who have a lack of education and come from places where education is replaced with fascism …news flash: ISLAM THE FASTEST GROWING RELIGION IN THE WORLD
Has been around for more than 1400 years and is growing exponentially. If you think that you can get rid of it by war, think again…The Mongols thought the same, however they themselves became Muslims and patrons of Islam. The Mongols were the epitomy of genocidal maniacs such as Hitler, Stalin, Bush, Saddam, etc.
However, it was the power of peace in God that subdued the mighty Mongols. The same way earlier it subdued the Mighty Iranians/Persians, Turks, Indians, Arabs, Africans, Europeans, and so on.

Well, Saracen, I know that that Islam is, unfortunately, the fastest growing religion in the world. Heres a few reasons why.
1 They convert what they conquer, and they conquered a lot
2 It is illegal to convert people from islam to another religion in Muslim countries. Talk about equal treatment of religions by government.
3 In Europe, the average Christian family has only one or two children. The average Muslim family has, 10, 12, 14 children. In the span of two or three hundred years, max, they will have control of Europe, Aim Europes armies at Isreal, and, after that, they will send their armies into the religion tolerant Western Hemisphere, (Namely America and Canada) By that time, India will be islamic, and they will move from there to try to convert southeast asia and China. Militarily Impregnable Russia will be the last to fall.
Of course, we could end it all now if we turned the deserts of north africa and the middle east into glass with nuclear weapons. Bomb Iran! or is is Barbara Ann? Wink Wink.
@ John3Sobieski :: I’ve heard it said that if you removed the oppressive Islamic authorities from a Middle East country you’d learn just how few people there really were Muslim.
Yeah, I could believe that to some degree. But then again, people don’t blow themselves up for nothing, and I don’t think people would demand death for a teacher who named a teddy bear Mohommed because those demanding death didn’t truly believe
Yeah, that’s a good point about the teddy bear. Ok, in general I agree that there is much less common sense and class out that way. I can’t apply to any individuals before getting to know them, but in general absolutely…. they’ve proved it over and over. They’ve EARNED the stereotype.
But, have you seen (and I’m sure you have) left-wing activist students over here? Spoiled brats whose brains are filled with cobwebs and who have done nothing significant in their lives for anyone but themselves - they go to college and get their cobwebs replaced with leftist bile by hippie Marxist professors… then they go to their rallies and demonstrations to scream irrational statements at the top of their lungs. I think they could be convinced to strap on explosives, too.
I don’t know about being able to convince hippies to strap bombs to themselves. After all, they’re all about peace and flower power and crap like that. All they have the balls for is criticizing others and spitting on Vets. When it comes to action, though, I doubt if they even know what a trigger is on a gun. or a bomb
