Such good little dhimmis.

They’ll be the first to go if the Muzloids ever get the upper hand.

ANYONE who spends a single penny to buy an issue of USA Today is contributing to the progressives’ anti-American propaganda efforts.

I’d encourage folks not to take a copy of USA Today off of a hotel counter unless it is to IMMEDIATELY throw it in the trash.

Psst, they also attacked Catholics and the Pope.

[Democrat_media]

At age 53 Muhamad the prophet of Islam married a 6 year old girl named Aisha. This “religion” is a sham. Muslims follow and will kill anyone who says anything about their pedophile terrorist prophet. Islam is a sick cult with the goal of world domination. It condones pedophilia. Islam doesn’t deserve respect but ridicule.

And, we thought Hitler, Nazism, and the SS were the ultimate in evil. Even considering their slaughters and the resulting deaths of 50 million worldwide they were juvenile delinquents compared to what these monstrous savages have planned.

RE: Psst, they also attacked Catholics and the Pope.

And Catholics have every right to be angry....

The difference is Catholic church teaches us to “love your enemies”, not kill them.

Here’s a question — Would the Pope demand that the French government censor Charlie Hebdo for what they did?

[skeeter]

Leftists do not believe in freedom, so naturally they think its understandable that someone would blow away another who 'provoked' them with free speech.

Lessee them repeat this when some tea party guy has had enough slander and attacks the NYT.

Does anyone get the feeling that all Mainstream media is being given feeds from the Politboro.?.?

And Catholics have every right to be angry....

I'm not, doesn't affect my Faith one way or the other.

There is a book just recently released that QUESTIONS whether Muhammad himself ever existed...



The thesis it explores is one that has been too little considered by English-language scholars: What are the reliable historical grounds for crediting the canonical narrative of the origin of Islam?

The author, Robert Spencer shows that there is, in fact, no historical evidence at all that Mohammed ever existed, and that the tales about him were written long after he was dead and were often fabricated to justify one tribe's actions over another. Even the stories about Mecca being an important center of trade appear to be fabricated as its location would preclude it from serving this purpose.

That would of course include, the story of his marriage to the 6 year old Aisha...

I fail to recall a similar column by USA Today criticizing the artwork “PissChrist”.

No one lost their lives over that one.

So, why should we try to understand “Muslim anger”.

We have clearly understood Muslim anger for 1400 years.

Islam is the single most evil force in the world, that has held 1.5 billion people in backwardness and slavery.

Who gives a rat’s @ss if they are offended?

Being offended doesn’t not give one the right to murder.
