Okay, so for many years now we've been told by the Mohammedans Moslems Muslims that it's incorrect to refer to them as "Mohammedans," because of course they do not worship Mohammed and such a practice maybe makes them appear to be idolatrous, which of course is offensive to Muslims.
But consider that the whole Danish cartoon flap is over fears of illustrators rendering an image of the Prophet Muhammad. Apparently we are being told, now, that such an image itself is offensive.
Sounds like idolatry to me, or pretty damn close to it. So which is it? I'm just, you know, askin'.
And they say the West doesn't understand Islam. I think I understand it all too well.
Posted by Craig Ceely at May 1, 2006 01:10 PMI do admire, and am a little jealous of, the beautiful artistic technique of those cartoonists. Wish I could do that. I'd plaster cartoons of Islam's Prophet all over the place.
And a cartoon, being a satirical rendition of the subject, is just the right technique for their god damn Prophet.
I want to laugh at Islam's creature.
