Perspective

I have to admit that I missed this one.
Two attacks happened within days of each other and I had already forgotten one of them because I only saw it in the news one time.
Then it went down the memory hole.
Thanks to Pamela Gellar article at American Thinker, I won't forget that the media are ignoring the roots of evil behind the latest attack in Mumbai while they pile onto Christians and Conservatives over the attacks in Oslo.
While they examine every tenuous link they can find between their ideological enemies and the Norwegian Nut Job, there is no effort to show people who is urging Islamic Fundamentalists to kill innocents.
Not just complaining like those "right wing crazies", but calling for mass murder.

Thank you Pamela for putting things into perspective.

Wilders wins

Geert Wilders; famous for the film Fitna, which tells hard truths about Islam, has won in court by proving that his speech is protected by the law.
The court decided that his opinions (and facts) did not rise to the level of illegality despite outrageous reactions from the people he was exposing in his film.

If we let people rule our behavior and speech by their selective outrage, we will have no freedom.

New MOAB?

While it is hard to say if acts of vandalism against followers of Islam that can easily be perceived as hate speech are on the increase, they are getting more attention.
From bacon spelling "Pig" outside a Mosque, to a pig's head thrown amidst worshipers; stories of actions against Moslems are getting more attention.
I won't condone acts that are just outright offensive and hateful, but I can see why people need to vent their frustrations and one way is to imagine methods of outraging those that support outrageous acts.
In one case, a proposal for a "prank" was to build a MOAB (Mother Of All Bacon) bomb that would "harmlessly" spray pork fat all over the ground zero mosque location in order to defile it into uselessness.
I would laugh at the proposition but not at any intention to actually carry out the act, which would be way beyond "Prank".

Saw this one coming

South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are now targets of Muslim hate.
No surprise since they portrayed Mohammed in a bear costume after making it clear that they see the prohibition of showing his actual image is ridiculous.
I imagine their point is that you can inspire Muslim hate even if you don't break their stated rules.

My opinion is that any religion that cannot stand question is a false religion, and any God that does not allow question and doubt is a false god.
