look, i don't mean to sound harsh, but - allah was actually bi-curious.

buddha was just a fat, selfish prick and i heard that vishnu had a shady past in 'exotic male dancing'.

it worries me that people want to remove art its publication because they don't like it. not good.

Their religion forbids the image of Muhammad from being used in art, because they feel it promotes the worship of the image of the prophet, rather than the worship of their god. This is why you normally see him portrayed like this:



In typical Muslim fasion, they think they can force their views on the rest of the world. Since they take the position that theirs is the one true faith, the concept of freedom of speech and choice is irrelevant to them. Earthly laws are nothing comapred to the will of their god. So...

I can see why they wouldn't want that news getting around!

The nice aliens even brought them this rock that they can run around once a year, while screaming out a bunch of ancient jibberish.



Someone tell Tom Cruise that they missed the trip on the alien spaceship by a few centuries.

You absolutely see me say the same thing about Christians and Jews around here. I tear into Mike Huckabee for trying to discount evolution or global warming on religious grounds. Or the fact that the planet is older than a few thousand years. Or the copernican model. Or Columbus discovering that the earth was round.

I respect anyone who respects me. I'm not tearing into all Muslims. But when a vocal few open up their mouths and say something pompous and idiotic in an attempt to get me to conform to their beliefs, then I am going to respond with scorn and disrespect. Why? Because a) in America, we enjoy freedom of speech and b) I guarantee you I endure more scorn and disrespect for being an atheist.

Part of freedom of speach is tolerating the opinions of people that you completely diagree with. Honestly, if your faith is strong, then this is the sort of thing that should not be bothersome. It should roll right off your back like water off a duck. When people ridicule me for my lack of faith, it does not bother me, because I know that I am not the one devoting my entire life to the fantastical fabrications of an ancient civilization that lacked the scientific knowledge to explain how the universe works. If this bothers you, then maybe that is because part of you is questioning the merits of your beliefs.
