Burger King will be withdrawing and changing the logo for its ice cream cups because, if one looks very closely and has a good imagination, the logo appeared to some Muslims to look sort of like the word Allah in Arabic if it was viewed from just the right angle. Not wanting to offend, Burger King caved in to the constantly complaining and whining Muslims who seem to find some offense in just about everything these days. One has to wonder just how many Western Muslims can even read Arabic.
The Taliban found offense in the ancient statues of Buddha in Bamiyan, Afghanistan, and blew them to bits. These Muslims also found offense in several smaller and much easier to destroy ancient clay and wood-carved statues at the same location. All of these irreplaceable pieces of history were destroyed because some Muslims found them offensive. Should the great pyramids of Egypt be destroyed if someone finds them offensive?
The Taliban also found music, flying kites, dancing of any kind, women leaving the house without a male family member, and balloons offensive. Any woman leaving the house without being covered from head to toe was so offensive that she risked being beaten to death.
Strict Islamics find the human female body offensive and feels every woman should be covered from head to toe. Muslims will tell you that they cover their women out of modesty and respect but this simply isnt the case. Strict Islamics believe a woman is born in sin and is just one living, breathing sin that needs to be covered at all times so that the public cannot see her shame. If a woman crosses a man's path while he is praying, he must begin anew because the woman is offensive to Allah.
An incomplete list of people Islamics also seem to find offensive is: all Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, ex-Muslims, and all non-Muslims.
These days, it seems that Sunni Muslims find Shia Muslims to be offensive as well.
Also offensive is any reference to the Quran by non-Muslims that does not expound on how every word is perfect and written by God himself. Anything less than complete agreement is an offense that often carries a death sentence. Just ask Salman Rushdie, author of Satanic Verses, who had to hide for years to stay alive, and Theo Van Gogh, who paid with his life for speaking the truth about Islam.
This past week, Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts suggested that since virtually every terrorist attack around the world has been carried out by Muslims, it might behoove us to listen in on what is being preached in American mosques. Just as a reminder, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing was planned with the assistance of Muslim cleric, Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, better known as the Blind Sheik. As expected, the Council of American/Islamic Relations (CAIR) went ballistic. To no ones surprise, CAIR did not claim that Islamic governments dont eavesdrop on Christian churches. Of course, Islamics dont do that; Islamic governments just burn churches down, occasionally with the people still in them.
Strict Islamic countries find women wearing white socks sexually provocative and offensive. Pictures of humans or animals are offensive and men who shave their faces are offensive. Card playing is offensive. Girls attending school and receiving an education are also offensive. Women who vote are also offensive.
A woman daring to leave her home without permission even to rush her sick child to a doctor is offensive. Of course, female doctors are offensive so any woman requiring medical care cant receive it because all the doctors are men.
Islamics also seem to be offended by: America, Great Britain, Poland, Israel, Australia, Spain, Italy, Japan, Russia, and New Zealand, just to mention a few countries. Interestingly, Islam doesnt seem to be as offended by France or Germany.
In fairness, what Islam doesnt find offensive should be examined. Many Muslims did not find the murder of 3000 people on 9/11 offensive. Saddam Hussein, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands fellow Muslims, was not offensive. Forbidding the practice of other religions in an Islamic country is not offensive while daring to question what might be going on inside a mosque in America, is terribly offensive.
The murder of thousands of Iraqi Muslims doesnt seem to offend Islamics, as long the killing is being done by other Muslims. If an American soldier kills a Muslim trying to kill him, that is offensive. The beheading of helpless prisoners by freedom fighters is not offensive. Putting mass murderers in a prison camp that provides good food, allows time to pray, provides copies of the Quran and prayer rugs, gives medical and dental care, and allows Islamic clerics to provide the prisoners with religious council, is offensive.
The Quran touching the floor is offensive but urinating on or burning the Bible is not. Profiling people from Islamic countries that support terrorism is offensive but imprisoning Christians for wearing a cross is not.
Teaching people about Islam is encouraged, but teaching Christianity is a beheading offense.
Islamics are not offended when Omar Ahmad, co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, declares that it is the goal of CAIR to replace our Constitution with the Quran and is incensed if Americans are offended. After all, that is being disrespectful of the Quran. Any American who does not want the Quran replacing the Constitution and who speaks out against Islam is immediately labeled an Islamaphobe. When Islam is involved, there is no freedom of speech.
Another thing that doesnt seem to offend many Muslims is the killing of a ten-year-old rape victim. She must have been asking for it. The little vixen soiled the family name and was probably wearing white socks. Also not offensive is the stoning to death of women who are merely suspected of being with a man not their husband. Hanging college students who dare to speak out against oppressive and cruel ayatollahs isnt offensive to many Muslims either.
Muslims are not offended by the age-old Islamic tradition of forcing their young daughters to marry their 60-year-old uncles. Girls as young as 12 are forced to marry their cousins and occasionally even their half-brothers. This is done to keep the family money in the family. However, this practice also produces the genetic defects caused by constant inbreeding.
What Americans should find offensive is how the media, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), CAIR, and American leftists recoil in horror if a cruel word is said about Islam as they all set about the business of destroying our own Christian-based society. As socialists and atheists slowly remove all traces of God from America, Islamics are standing ready to fill the void with Allah and Islamic law. Any American who doesnt believe that we are war with Islam isnt paying attention.
Americans need to wake up from their liberal-media and television-induced stupor. CAIR and the ACLU do not represent American culture but they are both being allowed to destroy it. That offends me. It should offend you.
Self ping for later ... rolling for work NOW!
BUMP
Well I'm offended by Islam. Period.
I have no respect for BK since they caved to these cave dwellers.

Islam is the greatest threat that faces civilization today. This hand-chopping, women-stoning, pedophile-worshipping cult wants to see us either dead or converted. I believe there is a third option - the eradication of islam from the nation.

This explains a lot.
Technology is offensive to Muslims, but using suicide pilots in 757's and 767's and firing AK47's and RPG's and rigging IED's is not.
This is a well-written piece. It characterizes perfectly Islam's many faults without stroking the baser emotions. Sadly, however, if Barbara J. Stock tried to publish this in the mainstream, she'd be charged with a hate crime.

Watch the language, please.
islam (lower case intentional) was invented by an insane child-raper named mohammed so the the people in hell would have something to laugh at. The only possible use for the koran is for house traning a puppy. Or several
I just changed the litter in my felines cat box - a task I do far too rarely. The stink that wafted to my nostrils from the horrid debris made me think of islam; a putrid, violent death cult bent on destroying the world. Maybe i'll dump the cat's poops over at the mosque...

Great article. Anybody who doesn't realize this is a spiritual war, hasn't been paying attention!

You are all so "Islamophobic". Islam is a peaceful, tollerant religion. It is inclusive, democratic and wholly compatible with Western civilization. It contributes greatly to the eclectic, diverse multi-ethnic, muticultural, faith-rich societies we are all so priveledge to live in.
Oh. Actually. Hang on. That's not entirely true.
The truth, hidden from us by lying career politicians (on both right and left), hacks and fanatical white "liberals" is somewhat different. Islam is an odious, repressive, backward, medieval desert relgion. It's adherents despise western society, seeking to worm their way into it, and take it over from within. The only contribution Muslims make is to blow us up, sponge off our taxes, and have honest, right-mined patriots branded "racist" and "islamophobic".
You may well think it can't happen in the States. Well, it's happened here in the UK already. In Yorkshire the battle against Islam has already been lost. We have surrended our once proud cities, let our churches be converted to mosques, and let the heads of our children be filled with lies. Let this be a warning to you all.
