Anyone have a link? Is there really a patron saint of humor when you need one? Huh? Guess I am a little slow tonight cause I am clueless....

tightloop Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Merlin....it is about some comics that offended the Islamic people.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiDale Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Come on Merlin, get your finger out of the....outlet, and watch the news, read a paper or listen to the radio. Jihad is upon us man, the towel heads are boycotting cheese for Christ's, uh, Mohammad's sake: Followers of Islam around the world have been making similar calls for the past week in response to 12 cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammad as a terrorist, published in Dutch daily Jyllands-Posten last September and reprinted in a Norwegian magazine earlier this month.

Sam38 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 If you go to Michelle Malakin's blog the whole story is there, including links to the comics - which weren't that funny except for the bomb in the turban one. http://www.michellemalkin.com/ DVC, Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiDale Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Thanks Sam! Exactly what I was looking for. The bomb head was good, but I liked the "Stop! we're out of virgins" one best.... Buy Butter Cookies! And Legos.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Wow... Read here and scroll to the bottom and read/look at some of the "jokes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 It got the Danish in "trouble", not the Dutch. Apperantly a couple of muslims got very pissed. I guess you could see that one coming from a mile away... I didn't find the cartoons very funny actually (not because they were provocative, though I must admit that I don't really like jokes with a primary goal other than being funny), but to react as if your world collapses... I would just shrug and move on, but I guess I would not be a good fanatic in any kind of religion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 BTW, it was the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten that first published them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carinab Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) Sweden and Switzerland seem to frequently be confused by the geographically challenged as well. Danish - Dutch, it's understandable in this instance Dale, as there have been some high profile murders in the Netherlands related to the criticism of Islam.

spook Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Only the Norwegians, Swedes, Danes, some Fins and Icelanders are Vikings. We just make cheese, together with the Swiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Orr Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) Making fun of the beliefs of others..... Like we don't have enough problems between Muslim and Christian believers already.

AikiDale Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Normal people can discuss Religion, Politics and maybe even sports. Fanatics on the other hand must be pointed out, pointed at, ridiculed and shamed into oblivion or we risk giving their self righteous insanities credence. There were many Christians very upset over some obscene art work displayed in prominent places not long ago. The "art" was in poor taste to say the least but I do not recall masked and armed Jesus freaks kidnapping artists and demanding the whole world surrender. And just to keep the humor in this thread I have a question: If Muslims have not been able to depict the prophet for the last 1400 years how in the world did they recognize him in a cartoon???
