In an effort to make lemonade from lemons, an international coalition of Islamic sects today announced it would launch a sophisticated new public relations campaign to burnish the religions image by capitalizing on the popular association of Islam with responsibility.
The move comes in the wake of riots by Muslim youth in France and major bombings by Muslim suicide bombers in Jordan and Iraq.
Our research shows that people associate Mormons with family, Buddhists and Hindus with non-violence and Muslims with responsibility, said an unnamed spokesman for Federated Islamic Religious Entities. When major news breaks around the world, its usually accompanied by claims of responsibility from a Muslim group.
The coalition will launch a $50 million advertising and PR campaign, funded by anonymous donors in a variety of Arab states, built on the slogan: Were Muslims and Were Responsible.
It will also sponsor spectacular events that generate interest in Islam and strengthen the association with responsibility.
Were trying to get the most bang from our PR buck, the anonymous spokesman added, We want to own the word responsible in the consumers mind.

Yes. They are responsible for burning and crushing 3000 Americans on 9-11. Responsible for sawing the heads off of bound and secured hostages (including women). Responsible for blowing up weddings in hotels. Responsible for shooting hundreds of school children in the back. About time they took some responsibility.
What We Are About To Do Here Is What The Good Lord Would Call A Cleansing of the Wicked. I Call It A Good Old Fashioned Texas Ass Kicking.

Responsibility?? Yeah, if you count that Muslims are responsible for 99.9% of all terrorist activity in the world. Is that the kind of responsibility to which you're referring?

So Islam, exercise some positive repsonsibility and hold those who are tarnishing your image accountable for their behavior.
