Muslims Offended -- what, again?

The Christians are at it again. An AP story in today's Star-Telegram reports on a Christian campaign urging Muslims to convert to Christianity.

According to the story, "Many Muslims and others consider campaigns like these offensive in both their timing and their goals." If I were a Muslim, I wouldn't be offended. I would just say "Thanks, but no thanks, you stupid infidel."

That was, in fact, my reaction to the recent admonition by Al-Qaida for all infidels to "convert to Islam or die." But I don't recall reading (in any newspaper) about any Christians who were offended by that statement. Maybe the Christians, rather than trying to convert people to Christianity, could simply teach Muslims some lessons in civility.

Lord knows, somebody should.

Are Muslims Prone to Violence?

Looks like the Pope has stirred up a real hornets nest - not that it takes much to do that nowadays. It seems that the Muslims are up in arms over the Pope's remarks last week quoting a 14th Century emperor, Manual II Paleologos (whoever he was), who criticized the Prophet Mohammed.

So far, Muslims around the world are making Emperor Manual's case for him - by murdering a nun, fire-bombing churches, and, in general, just making complete asses of themselves.

Even a simple cartoon is enough justification for some Muslims (tens or even hundreds of thousands, actually) to go on a rampage.

Here are the infamous cartoons that were published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten last year (oh, the horror).

Are these people so easily offended that they can display no dignity in the face of criticism? Do they not realize that their behavior validates every derogatory comment ever made against Islam and it's followers?

The Muslims' penchant for bombing markets, hotels, trains, planes and automobiles....even their own mosques....doesn't aid their cause. Western liberals try to rationalize the behavior of these scumbags - yes, that's right, SCUMBAGS - and try to somehow excuse it, but no one with any sense is buying their arguments.

Here are just a few of the atrocities commited by Muslims in the name of Islam:
The World Trade Center in New York.

The U.S. Embassy in Nairobi.

Subway trains in Madrid.

Nightclubs in Bali.

The Marriott Hotel in Jakarta.

Busses and subways in London.

All of these and most others are civilian targets.

What do the vast majority of peaceful Muslims have to say about the "hijacking" of their Religion of Peace?

::crickets::

I thought so.

An over-reliance on reason?

Former Iranian President, Mohammad Khatami gave a long, soporific speech at the National Cathedral on Thursday.

I couldn't bear to read the entire speech, but LGF clued me in to one of Khatami's comments that the West is the greatest victim of "over-reliance on reason." This may explain why it is impossible to reason with the Iranian government and other jihadist elements around the world - they reject reason in favor of their religious superstitions.

At Harvard on Sunday, Khatami denied supporting terrorist organizations. Of course, he also denied that Hezbolla is a terrorist organization.

Who let this creep into our country, anyhow?

Yes....I know....sad isn't it?

BTW.....has anyone decided just how to spell Hezbolla (Hisb'alla, Hizbulla, etc.)?
