One thing to add to your list, to confuse the Left:

Mad Mo on Homosexuality:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If you find anyone doing as Lot's people did, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done.

On the day of 9/11, I got a copy of the Qu'ran and read it cover-to-cover. I wanted to know my enemy better. Since then, I've also read big chunks of the Sunnah (the records of the acts of Mad Mo). The more I read, the more I realize he was a raving psychopath, and that anyone who admires him is either completely ignorant of Islam, or is also a raving psychopath

Is that referring to the citizens of Sodom, or to Lot's daughters?

Or do they just plug in whatever is most convenient to their own ends at the moment?

Dang, in this context, that almost sounds like a double entendre.

Book 38, Number 4449:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If anyone has sexual intercourse with an animal, kill him and kill it along with him. I (Ikrimah) said: I asked him (Ibn Abbas): What offence can be attributed to the animal/ He replied: I think he (the Prophet) disapproved of its flesh being eaten when such a thing had been done to it.

Shame on you! A being as horrible as Muhammad needs everybody's intercession with God to keep from meeting a fate like that of that poor French Jew who was tortured for 3 weeks and died of his injuries. Never forget that Muhammad married a 6-yr. old and consummated the marriage when she was 9. Do we not always say there's a special place in hell for pedophiles and Europeans? Muhammad's place is especially heinous - hence, justly, peace be upon him.

, and must be called instead the saviour of humanity. In my opinion, if he was to be given control over the world today, he would solve our problems and secure the peace and happiness which the world is longing for

Jesus Christ was not a Prophet,He and only He(Jesus) is the Savior of the world,...born of a woman seed and the Word Of God.Mohammad is dead and always will be....Jesus is alive and is God that was come to earth in the flesh.

Why do cultural leaders hold Shaw in any kind of esteem? Maybe because he was one of the founders of Fabian Socialism and a die-hard atheist.

All those plays have something to do with it.

I'm only familiar with a handful of his plays, ("Arms and the Man", Man and Superman), and I missed the politics in them. Maybe it's because, any thing controversial he slipped in is not longer, or maybe because, unlike George Clooney, he felt he couldn't make a living by hitting his patrons over the head with things they may not approve.

Anyway, what I've read of him seemed mediocre and dated. IOW, he's not Shakespeare, or even Ben Hecht.

He actually made a habit out of proclaiming himself superior to Shakespeare. But his work is as explicitly political and entertainingly so. His plays were published with extensive Prefaces (which some claim to be superior to the plays themselves) which made the politics clear for those who missed it. He didn't give a whit about offending the audience and actually reveled in it. People were scared of him. His correspondence with Winston Churchill is classic.

Shaw to Churchill: "Enclosed are two tickets for the opening night of my new play...for you and a friend...if you have one"

Churchill to Shaw: "I cannot attend Opening Night but may attend the night after...if there is one."
