CALVIN AND HOBBES — AND MUHAMMAD

[Hane]

February 8, 2006 - Ann Coulter


As my regular readers know, I've long been skeptical of the "Religion of Peace" moniker for Muslims — for at least 3,000 reasons right off the top of my head. I think the evidence is going my way this week.

The culture editor of a newspaper in Denmark suspected writers and cartoonists were engaging in self-censorship when it came to the Religion of Peace. It was subtle things, like a Danish comedian's statement, paraphrased by The New York Times, "that he had no problem urinating on the Bible but that he would not dare do the same to the Quran."

So, after verifying that his life insurance premiums were paid up, the editor expressly requested cartoons of Muhammad from every cartoonist with a Danish cartoon syndicate. Out of 40 cartoonists, only 10 accepted the invitation, most of them submitting utterly neutral drawings with no political content whatsoever.

But three cartoons made political points.

One showed Muhammad turning away suicide bombers from the gates of heaven, saying "Stop, stop — we ran out of virgins!" — which I believe was a commentary on Muslims' predilection for violence. Another was a cartoon of Muhammad with horns, which I believe was a commentary on Muslims' predilection for violence. The third showed Muhammad with a turban in the shape of a bomb, which I believe was an expression of post-industrial ennui in a secular — oops, no, wait: It was more of a commentary on Muslims' predilection for violence.

In order to express their displeasure with the idea that Muslims are violent, thousands of Muslims around the world engaged in rioting, arson, mob savagery, flag-burning, murder and mayhem, among other peaceful acts of nonviolence.

Muslims are the only people who make feminists seem laid-back.

The little darlings brandish placards with typical Religion of Peace slogans, such as: "Behead Those Who Insult Islam," "Europe, you will pay, extermination is on the way" and "Butcher those who mock Islam." They warn Europe of their own impending 9/11 with signs that say: "Europe: Your 9/11 will come" — which is ironic, because they almost had me convinced the Jews were behind the 9/11 attack.

The rioting Muslims claim they are upset because Islam prohibits any depictions of Muhammad — though the text is ambiguous on beheadings, suicide bombings and flying planes into skyscrapers.

Is there a statue of Ann Coulter that I can bow to?

I repeat my paraphrase from an earlier post which cuts to the heart of the issue: Kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.

Read this:

http://www.conservativecrusader.com/...slam%26quot%3B

It references a Reuters story that includes various professors saying the cartoon rioting is the West's fault.

They blame scientific prejudice and the "same type of Aryan superiority that led to the holocaust."

A professor from Notre Dame says there are examples of violence from Buddhism, Hinduism and other religions. He then cites one example, Ghandi being shot, and goes on as if he's just named dozens off hand.

Another learned fellow tells readers that it's a western misconception that Islamic law forbids depicting Allah or Muhammad. This despite the fact that it's been Muslim leaders telling us it's Islamic law, as they call for beheadings.
