Fundamentalists always amuse me. They have a penchant for getting into a fervor, and a tad frothy, whenever something occurs that highlights their inability to take a joke.
Islamic Fundamentalists even more so because they try to take things to the extreme, what with threats of death to the infidels and all that.
Needless to say, I find THIS immensely humorous….
Someone at Dan Savage’s blog started it, then Michael Moynihan at Reason picked it up, now I feel obliged to help push it out there. Says Moynihan:
I will be employing my tremendous skill as an illustrator, of course, and expect that my colleagues will do the same. If they refuse, they will be declared weak-kneed, namby-pamby, quisling infidels and will be shamed on this blog (Though such idle threats rarely work these days; perhaps I could threaten them with a painful death, which seems to do the trick). If readers would like to show their solidarity, please email your Mohammad masterpieces to me here: mmoynihan at reason.com. The best ones will be published on Hit & Run, which, along with the concomitant death threat, is reward enough.
beautiful. I can’t wait to see what happens…

I think most Muslims can take a joke, but it only takes a few to make an issue out of something. Like the South Park brouhaha over portraying Mohammad in a bear suit. I noticed that the so-called jihadis who threatened Trey/Parker (who produce the show) had their own web site hacked within a day, filling it with cartoons of Mohammad and mullah’s kissing little boys (were they Catholic too?). Good stuff.
