ANOTHER MUSLIM CARTOON ARREST Sure is tough to be a cartoonist lately. The government of Bangladesh has ordered the arrest of another cartoonist for publishing a "blasphemous" caricature of the Prophet Muhammad. Muslim mobs publicly torched the paper, and, of course, you have the required protests. The angry Muslims want "exemplary punishment" for the cartoonist and the paper's editor. Want to see the "blasphemous" cartoon? Here it is, with a translation at the bottom.

It's totally innocuous. Too bad we can't say the same thing about radical Islamists.

Somebody should let the Democraps and other liberal clods in on that secret.

I don’t get it.
“Those people are crazy fanatics, and dangerous.
Somebody should let the Democraps and other liberal clods in on that secret.”
Why?
The Democreeps and liberals are also crazy fanatics and dangerous as hell.
It’s not exactly a knee slapper.
He didn't ask the name of the cat, but the kid just blindly followed "custom" by mentioning "muhammed" before everything. Essentially labeling muslims as boneheads who insist on doing everything the same way "muhammed" did it. The outrage comes because there is much truth on the observation. Just check out the correct way to use a restroom.
The bathroom I know (live in Saudi couple times, alas -— petroleum engineer and GWI).
Just figured out the “*” denoted the adult.
Still pretty piss-poor joke to get your head chopped off about; he should’ve told the one about Mohammed, the goat, and the 12 year old boy.
Don’t those people have jobs? Seriously . . . everytime they get a thistle in their panties, 7 million of their males appear and are really angry. Shouldn’t they be somewhere . . . like at work? Don’t they work?
Just another culture's version of "Queer and in your face!"
Somebody could really put a dent in local radicalism by setting a trap for them. That is, create an instant newspaper with things guaranteed to upset radicals. Then, when the radicals show up to riot and burn down the newspaper office and maybe kill those inside, waiting for them where they assemble in front of the office would be a car bomb.
By all appearances, it would seem that the crowd of radical Islamists was inadvertently killed by a radical Islamist, who was trying to attack the newspaper himself.
It is called counter-terrorism, in the purest sense of the word, and it quickly takes a lot of the wind out of the sails of the local hotheads.
If done as a systematic campaign, it can be highly effective. For example, starting fights between radical factions—a gang war to cull some of them—like between Hamas and Fatah. Put out hits on radical leaders, making it look like a different leader had him killed.
And since, whenever a prominent leader is killed, his followers have a “protest funeral”, the cemetery is an ideal place to preposition a very large bomb.
It doesn’t take a whole lot of this to really cool the jets of radicals.
"crazy fanatics" of Islams = "crazy fanatics" of Islam
too bad the Democrats are not on our side
This question confused the man, so he asked,"What has the religion got to do with it? It's an inflatable doll!"
"Well," explained the assistant,"The Muslim one blows itself up!"
A: None. If the lightbulb has died, it is the will of Allah, and it would be blasphemy to attempt to change it.
Three boys in the fifth grade at an Israeli school are playing measure the wienie; a Bedouin, a Jew, and a Palestinian.
The Bedouin pulls his out and it’s only 3 inches long. Not bad (remember this is the fifth grade).
The Jew pulls his Kosher sausage out and it, too, is 3 inches long.
Farook, the Palestinian boy, draws his out from his shorts and it is 6 inches long!
His two schoolmates are impressed: “That has to be the biggest wienie in the whole school!”
So Farook runs excitedly home and asks his father, “Abba, I have the largest penis in the fifth grade, is it that Allah has blessed me because I am Muslim?”
His father sighs and says, “no, Farook, it is because you are 19 years old.”
Yeah well, Islamic countries are still more open than Western countries...

Rules of Joking in Islam
Some people joke too much and it becomes a habit for them. This is the opposite of the serious nature which is the characteristic of the believers. Joking is a break, a rest from ongoing seriousness and striving; it is a little relaxation for the soul. ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azeez (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Fear joking, for it is folly and generates grudges.”
Imaam al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “The kind of joking which is forbidden is that which is excessive and persistent, for it leads to too much laughter and hardening of the heart, it distracts from remembrance of Allaah, and it often leads to hurt feelings, generates hatred and causes people to lose respect and dignity. But whoever is safe from such dangers, then that which the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to do is permissible for him.”
Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqaas said: “Set a limit to your jokes, for going to extremes makes you lose respect and incites the foolish against you.”
The amount of joking should be like the amount of salt in one’s food.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not laugh too much, for laughing too much deadens the heart.” (Saheeh al-Jaami’, 7312)
‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “Whoever laughs too much or jokes too much loses respect, and whoever persists in doing something will be known for it.”
So beware of joking, for it “causes a person to lose face after he was thought of as respectable, and it brings him humiliation after esteem.”
A man said to Sufyaan ibn ‘Uyaynah (may Allaah be pleased with him), “Joking is not right, it is to be denounced.” He replied, “Rather it is Sunnah, but only for those who know how to do it and do it at the appropriate time.”
Nowadays, although the ummah needs to increase the love between its individual members and to relieve itself of boredom, it has gone too far with regard to relaxation, laughter and jokes. This has become a habit which fills their gatherings and wastes their time, so their lives are wasted and their newspapers are filled with jokes and trivia.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much.” In Fath al-Baari it says: “What is meant by knowledge here has to do with the might of Allaah and His vengeance upon those who disobey Him, and the terrors that occur at death, in the grave and on the Day of Resurrection).
Muslim men and women have to be inclined to choose righteous and serious friends in their lives, who will help them to make good use of their time and strive for the sake of Allaah with seriousness and steadfastness, good and righteous people whose example they can follow. Bilaal ibn Sa’d said: “I saw them [the Sahaabah] jokingly pretending to fight over some goods, and laughing with one another, but when night came they were like monks.”
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) was asked, “Did the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) laugh?” He said, “Yes, and the faith in their hearts was like mountains.”
So you have to follow the example of such people, who were knights by day and monks (i.e., devoted worshippers) by night.
May Allaah keep us, you and our parents safe on the Day of the Greatest Terror, those to whom the call will go out on that great Day:
“Enter Paradise, no fear shall be on you, nor shall you grieve”
[al-A’raaf 7:49 – interpretation of the meaning]
L.O.L.......
It’s not a joke.
