Remeber that ashat Judge Moore who seemed to cry just as much when his 10 little commandments went away?

Remeber the uproar and hatred from the Christians in our own country? They were SCREAMING mad. The angry demonstrations? The vile comments form them? Remember? All over a statue.

One and the same. One and the same.

I live in Alabama, so I'd like to get in on some of these bounties that Christian protesters put out about the 10 commandments monument. Where could I go to get names and numbers?

Frankencow: Submitter: Muslim Imams are NOT CLERICS!!!

Yeah! They cannot turn undead, nor can they heal wounds. Also, bladed weapons are not forbidden to them! Get yer facts straight!

Anyone who uses these threads to bash Islam is just ignorant. A few radical nuts don't represent the entire Muslim religion any more than Fred Phelps or abortion bombers represent Christianity. Go take your hate over to FreeRepublic--you'll fit in better there.

" Yousef Qureshi said he had personally offered to pay a bounty of 500,000 rupees ($8,400) to anyone who killed a Danish cartoonist, and two of his congregation put up additional rewards of $1 million and one million rupees plus a car. "

1 million and 1 million rupees plus a car??? Im confused.. so what is the total reward? 2.5mil rupees? 1,500,001 rupees? 1,000,000,500,000 rupees? 4,500,001 rupees?

How much is the car worth? Are we talking a Rolls or Ford? Is this like one of those trick SAT questions???

Huzah! Someone else reads filibustercartoons I see.

I know in the USA and in most civilized countries it is against the law to put a contract out on some one.

Why isnt someone arresting the a-hole who put out the hit?

Well in that case I say we all pool some $money$ together and put a bounty on cleric Maulana Yousef Qureshi's head. Seriously.

You think that idea's a little rediculous? He's the idiot offering money to kill a cartoonist for a drawing for fark sakes!

\I don't think I'll ever understand the anger these people possess.
\\This is clearly about more than just an insulting cartoon.

"I live in Alabama"

Why?

Oh I am sorry, I had the Judge Moore group confused with the people that BOMB health clinics. My bad. (Actually, I thought they were one and the same.)

Now that is one HARDCORE cartoon, Boinkers. ( 2006-02-17 05:45:25 PM )

/I could see them actually getting p1ssed off that THAT ..

Also, if some one did kill this Danish gent, would the car be shipped free of charge to the killer? Or is this some sort of scam....

Stiletto_the_something_something

They're just ignorant...ignorant, I tells you!

the_gospel_of_thomas
Yep, time to up the ante a bit...

See, this cleric is the latest candidate for my proposed US Govt hit list. The way it works is that every time one of these dung-scented, 13th century cave-dwellers puts out a bounty like this or praises kidnappers, we put him on the publicly-posted list. Then, anytime anyone ANYWHERE is attacked by muslim extremists, we randomly kill three of their people from the list, at a ratio of 3 to 1.

1 Danish cartoonist killed by an uneducated, futureless suicide bomber = 3 pain in the ass clerics randomly selected and sniped into the welcoming arms of Allah, may his beard be forever anointed with the glorious blah blah blah.

Nothing prevents assholery quite like the potential for violent personal accountability.

/Got your fatwah right here, Mohammed.

Barricaded:

That mentality works real well for the Jews doesn't it.

"We live yet we refuse to learn."

Oh and BTW assuming the bounty is 2.5mil rupees that is only ~$42,000 for us Americans. Im guessing the car is probably like beat up AMC Pacer painted with pastel Indian designs...

mark937: All this over a cartoon? Come on people. It's just ink and paper.

Isn't that what Bush thinks of the constitution? Besides, haven't you heard that the pen is mightier than the sword?

Radicals fly planes into buildings, blow themselves up in various areas of the world... and the inaction by the rest of thier religion is deafening.

Radicals burn buildings, and put bounties on peoples heads over a cartoon, and the inaction by the rest of thier religion is deafening.

Lets fix this plain and simple.

Muslim nations should get, by and large, isolated / ignored by the rest of the worlds forward thinking (and relatively laid back) societies until they squelch the idiots in thier ranks causing all this uproar.

If rational Muslims can't do this, or don't have the will to do it, too f'in bad. They'll at least know who sunk thier ship. Over a cartoon.

/knows this will never happen, profits are worth more than people to this country.

can we please just pull a giant hiroshima on these ignorant bastards over in the middle east? they're probably just pissed off because they live in a giant sandbox.
/waits for angry replies

WTF is this "dumbass" tag for, it should be asisne. Although carictures of jesus smokin crack world have whitey riotin'!

Actually, I don't think many would and they (christians) usually don't over sacriligious depictions. I go to a Jesuit (catholic univ) and there was a really amazing art show here of all of these different depictions of christ. One of them was the "Ascension of Slim," where Christ was performing a delicate surgery of removing a leg from Dr. Dre and putting it on Slim Shady. And there was another Jesus rug that people wiped their feet on. Even my most hardcore christian friends were able to laugh. So I don't know that it's just a different degree, i'd say it's a separate kind of reaction all together.

/irrelevant

Ok, they want us to ban comics they see as offensive...

But what I want to know is, if there was a religion in which Allah was an offensive word, would they stop saying it not to offend?

*throws stone at Snarfangel*

at a ratio of 3 to 1.


hmm, yes, where have I heard of this tactic being employed before.... I don't really want to Godwin the thread, so I'll just make a general statement that this is exactly the kind of thinking that despotic tyrants use. Pretty much every one of them....ever (including Saddam, for an added ironic bonus).

so, your proposal will not be rejected out-of-hand by our current administration. but, I think ultimately our remaining representatives and judiciary are *just* democratic enough to see that we don't make this an official policy.

"Radicals fly planes into buildings, blow themselves up in various areas of the world... and the inaction by the rest of thier religion is deafening."

You forgot:

Radicals send 100's of thousands of young men and women halfway around the world for no reason to kill and die on foriegn sole.

Just because you are white does not excuse your actions.

Car in question...only blown up once, slightly.

Hmm...fark this.

Too bad we couldn't have Danish cartoonists offering $1m bounties on the heads of clerics.

Mohammed Cartoons.

/particularly useful when causing an insurgency

Bendite... I think the difference is that I'm talking about publishing the list as a deterrent, to say that we're holding ALL OF YOU (imams, clerics, etc.) who go public with your rabble-rousing, crowd-stirring ways accountable for your actions. Once you're on the list you're on notice that we know you're a troublemaker. This lets them either A) change their tune and expose themselves for the cowards that they are, preferring to send others to the "glorious" afterlife they keep promising, or B) keep up the sh#t-stirring and invest in kevlar.

If the Israelis are doing this, it's news to me.

I have a bar of soap at my house, which I do not idolize. But if any one of you should even draw a cartoon of it, I will KILL you!!

You must understand that it is a good, honorable bar of soap and should not be put on a pedestal or idolized in any way. But I warn you, do not draw it or you are worthy of death.

stiletto_the_wise:

You left out the 170+ campus bombings in the 1970s by the peaceful "New Left."

Well now I'm wondering how many Danish innocents are going to die, or at least have attempts made on their lives, before action is taken to halt this situation. We need some international sanctions, huge (there have been some voices or reason, but they haven't been very loud) moderate Muslim counter demonstrations, something.

"Just because you are white does not excuse your actions."

You'll have to make this statement to someone who actually voted for the people doing this. Sorry....

There have been far more anti-war protests and actions from "whites" than anti-terrorist protests and actions (that I've seen) from Muslims.

/welcomes evidence that proves otherwise.

Frankencow: Submitter: Muslim Imams are NOT CLERICS!!!

*pages thru the Player's Handbook*

I don't see any racial restrictions on Clerics...

I heard Bill Maher or maybe Bill Reilly say that this is just a setup by the Catholics so they could divert attention away from their boy buggery scandal, and get back to shagging.

why do you all hate freedom so much? We all laud our freedom to publish naughty images, yet we deplore their freedom to violently protest. Perhaps it is you who are jealous of their freedom. After all, you are not free to violently protest, and that's got to stick in your craw!

/you know what true and absolute freedom is called? Anarchy.

Laughing.Boy

Yeah, maybe so, but I've not seen any Imam's weilding maces or casting Creeping Doom.

I will say that Islam seems to be a few centuries behind the times. Isn't there some way to get them to join us in this century? or even just get up to last century? Could we donate our old VCR's and televisions to them or something ? seriously. I have an old Sony walkman and I could dig up my Commodore. To me, it's junk, but for them,.... what are these idiots lacking to live in the present ?

Submitter made me chortle.

dbaggins... oh for the love of Pete. First of all, I'm not sure you can avoid godwination simply by nibbling around the edges and not mentioning names.

But I'm not suggesting we start killing imams and clerics willy-nilly just to make a point. I'm just saying we put some teeth into our expression of dissatisfaction with their actions. They already know that the entire non-desert dwelling population of the earth doesn't go for their crazy fundamentalist jihad bs. So let's explain it to them in the only language they understand.

Barricaded:

Actually the Jews vowed to kill 100 arabs for every Jew killed. It was their way to suggest that Jews were that more important than Arabs. It is a sign or arrogance.

Once we free ourselves of countries and religions (ALL OF THEM), we will have world peace.

Dr.Zoidberg

...and that's got to stick in your craw!


somehow, that seems like a completely Zoidbergian thing to say.

You missed out option C) Completely ignore the threat in the hope you'll make them a martyr for their cause.

/P.S. They'll totally go for option C)

Laughing.Boy: *pages thru the Player's Handbook*

I think they're more like Bards, able to fire the passions of their fighter and barbarian party members with their verses. Also, like Bards, they can be powerful, but are also kind of lame and you have to be pretty devoted to play one.
