I feel pretty much the same, and Sharia law is already in effect in Dearborn MI. Anyway, I sure hope they served BBQ’ed pork at her contest.
Folish to do it anywhere shitrria law applies, but not in the USA.
when Bill O’Reilly and conservative Laura Ingraham said it was foolish of Pam to insult over a billion Muslims by hosting a “Draw Muhammad” contest
In war it is normal business to insult the enemy
OK, so I had to bug out before Rush finished his point,
but I assumed his conclusion, and it was BRILLIANT.
Don’t refuse to make a homo “wedding” cake on the basis of your own faith,
but refuse to make it because it’s offensive to Muslims.
I’m really tempted to try this line of reasoning on a libinlaw just to watch her spin.
So Laura and bill think it is “wise” to gradually, or maybe rapidly succumb to shariah - even before formally adopting it - in the face of a billion Moslems?
But I am very surprised, and very disappointed, in Laura Ingraham. I thought she had a more grounded understanding of the word “freedom”.
I don't have cable anymore (free at least). Can someone tell me, was Ingraham really that much against Geller?
I seem to remember some of the critics being all for that movie bashing the North Korean leader no matter how much of a threat he could potentially be. I thought that was in poor taste mainly because it was intended to be a ridiculing of a world leader and the movie itself was offensive in content to even me (having nothing to do with Jung). But pretty much everyone was good with that. This was a private contest with the intended audience just themselves, or at least very limited.
Good to hear, O'Reilly is way wrong on this and keeps digging his hole deeper.

O’Reilly and Inghrahm were TOTALLY wrong on this one. JMHO!
I really appreciate where Lloyd Marcus was coming from initially. He heard O’Reilly and Ingraham and then he finds himself going wobbly, thinking he is wrong and perhaps they are right about not offending a billion Muslims.
It seems to me that most of us Christians do try to restrain ourselves, particularly in public venues, from unnecessarily offending people (Muslims) who have been mostly silent towards us even though they have a contingency among them who has proven to be vicious and deadly. They still say nothing, so there is an element of restraint we have been practicing with regard to the “silent majority”.
Geller blew all that up. She was right to do so. She said something that resonates with me. She said about Garland, that it was an act of “defiance”. Geller showed the world what defiance reaps, among even conservatives. Yes, it places small town peace officers at mortal risk, while the citizens are safely tucked away in their houses oblivious to what is going on. O’Reilly said that Jesus would not have provoked the Muslims. Think about that. Actually, wasn’t Jesus provocative? The approach may be quite different, of course, but the end is the same— to provoke.
Geller gave ISIS a teachable moment. No one else has. How in the face of evil does shaping us toward utter tolerance teach us a shred of resistance? Without defiance there is no resistance.
This is a big “thinking” deal. We need to defy those here who would nefariously reshape the thinking of America, to have us instead tolerate evil rather than muster courage and fight it with our voice.
We must find our voice.
