Muhammed cartoonist attacked

[tsig]

Please. Everyone I know (save a dozen or so people), work, teach and interact with are Muslims. I also happen to sleep next to one every night. You have to look elsewhere find your bigot because there is none at this address.
Given the fact that people have rioted and called for the tortuous death of Vilks and other cartoonists, I think that getting a mere headbutt was indeed lucky for him.

You don't notice that calling for his death is wrong?

Not a big surprise. I think he was lucky to get off with just a headbutt and broken glasses.

All I can say cannot be posted here. Sometimes profanity is appropriate, perhaps.

Anyway, if Allah is really Akaba, He would not mind a cartoon and he would not favor someone who attacks someone who draws a picture.

That's "Akbar"...

Vilks does _not_ deserve violence. He _is_ lucky that he didn't fare worse and he _is_ a crap artist who does pick on an easy target. All of the above can be true and not contradict each other. Of course, if he _really_ had some guts he would have picked on Scientology. But _then_ he'd be in for it.

Can't say I disagree with that.

Now, if we could only get the Scientologist to sue Islam and Islam to declare a Jihad on Scientology...

 

[Skeptic]

These death threats are becoming, sadly, so common as to attract less and less attention. If things go on like this, statements like "Oh yeah?! Well, Jihad on you!" would become part of the everyday exchanges in pubs.

Now that would be interesting, two of the most violent ideologies at each others neck.

I'd bet on Islam on that case. Sorta hard to sue when you're missing a head.
