I didn't see #6 behind the bars in the foreground.

The Koraniacs are a bunch of sissies. They and Europe deserve each other.

Something tells me Mark Brown *is* a receiver. ;)

[Luke21]

He lost me with his "Prophet Mohammed" stuff.

"Oddly enough, there might be violent protests from Muslims over mockery of Jesus."

Yeah, the mohammedans took to the streets when their 'revered' 'prophet' Jesus's followers were blown to bits, beheaded and pillaged non-stop on nearly every continent the last few decades and centuries. /sarc

Secondly, these anti-Christian tests that Brown is proposing have already taken place and we know the results: in the case of 'Piss Christ' and dung covered Mary, most anger was non-violently directed at the federal government for financing such literal waste. And, more recently, supposed pop singer Kanye West posing as the crucified Christ on a Rolling Stone cover was greeted by Christians with a collective shrug and the thought that, even with all his money, Kanye is still a loser. Can you imagine an effigey of Mubombedd immerrsed in piss? The resultign riots would be Romper Room compared to the cartoon reactions. We have to hit back hard in the escalating culture wsr!

A liberal friend almost stated uncategorically that she would have Muslims knocking dowm her door, rather than the US continue to fight this "phony war on terror.

Unfricken believable. She's Jewish too...

The Lord even forgave those who killed Him.

"Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do."

If something is true then it can within the test of criticism, while a false prophecy cannot, therefore one needs to question the motive to silence the criticism of Islam, as if what are they afraid the world or themselves will find out?

And do you ever notice the MSM always uses the term "the prohet Muhammed" but never the "Lord Jesus Christ?"

[LM_Guy]

That was too - too FUNNY !!!!!!

[Sonny M]

Why doesn't Brown put his ideas where his mouth is and publish some obscene cartoons about Jesus -- find out what happens?

Lets not encourage him.

He might wind up getting federal funding to do so.

Well .. Jesus was beat up, spit on, vilified, kicked, nailed to a cross.

Hmmmm?? I don't recall anybody taking to the streets to protest and killing people and burning down churches and businesses.

And .. I agree with you .. you cannot equate the SON OF GOD with the "prophet" Mohammed.

This is a good time to note something I've wanted to point out. It's probably not gone unnoticed here, but I've yet to hear it mentioned in the old media.

It's funny how these riots start on friday and become murderous and violent, but then they tail off all week and blaze up again the following friday. Obviously it is the moolas and ima'ams in certain mosques that are inflaming their sheeple.

We should shut down any mosque that preaches hatred, and turn it into a McDonalds.

Observation:

The name of Jesus is used on the web, more than twice as much as Muhammad. The cases when Jesus is referred to as lord or Lord Jesus Christ is about 11% of the time. While Muhammad is refereed to as "prophet Muhammad" about 16% of the time. Not much different for the added title for either in common usage on the web which pretty much reflects equal respect for both religions in western culture.

However compare washingtonpost.com, Associated Press Reuters combined for the last 60 days; Jesus and Muhammad appear in about the same number of articles, which is understandable with Christian and the cartoon controversy as news stories, yet consider that Jesus has been referred to as lord or Lord Jesus Christ only 1% of the time, while Muhammad is refereed to as "prophet Mohammed" 69 % of the of the time.

If the press reporting isn't blatantly anti Christian, then what is? And why are the cartoon Nazis protesting when their prophet is not only respected in Western media , but the media is going out of their way to trivialize Christan's while paying great tribute to a prophet who has yet to prove he really is a prophet which literally means somebody who brings the news of well being to mankind?

Good analysis. msm outlets all over the country are rationalizing to themselves why, since the cartoons ARE the news that are "causing" riots and deaths, they are not printing this news.

[Truth Table]

We know what Christ went through for our sins. Heck, Mel Gibson did a very good job portraying it in the Passion.

Does this Yahoo actually think that Christians would go up nuclear if he drew what he describes? If it was plastered all over the front page of the NYT? If a college of all of what he describes was plastered on the Washington Post?

He just does not get it. He just does not get Christians.
