RE: I’m not, doesn’t affect my Faith one way or the other.

I’m not talking about your faith, but your Lord and Master.

Do you not even feel any anger when Jesus Christ Himself is being insulted?

Jeff Dunham was prescient with his Achmed the Dead Terrorist character:

“I KILL YOU!”

If anything, pity for the person insulting him.

The only time I look at USA Today is when I get a free copy in a hotel.

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

No one lost their lives over that one.

Lots of them in the USA.

The play — CORPUS CHRISTI ( where Jesus is portrayed as a homosexual ) is just one example.

Here’s another one — The Virgin Mary covered with Elephant poop. Now, that was called “art” and I believe paid for by tax payer money.

I actually feel BOTH — Anger ( righteous anger ) and pity.

The liberals/democrats who are the news media love Islam because Islam shuts down free speech and is totalitarian, demanding total submission and slavery to a central authority.

USA Today thinks it will be allowed to keep their heads by sucking up

But even if I feel anger, I would never demand for the government to censor them.

No one is talking about censorship, I am talking about how one would FEEL personally.

Anger would be a natural and I believe, understandable reaction. Violence is not.

For the same reason why USA Today is allowed to print incredibly stupid columns like this. Freedom of the press.

I think maybe a lot of folks aren’t really aware of how vile this rag is. I saw on a lot of threads it was being compared to MAD magazine. So I looked it up and it is absolutely nothing like MAD magazine, it is made by extreme secular and liberal humanists for an adult audience. The stuff they do about Christians and Jews is pretty disgusting.

Freedom of speech is not selective. I may not agree with what they write or draw, but I would (if French) defend their right to do it.

Otherwise those of us, who are Christian will go the same way....and isn’t that the intent of Islam....to silence those with whom they disagree.

Me too, they shouldn’t ever have been attacked for it or censored. But it’s OK to say something is completely vile when it really is completely vile too. Especially when it is being compared to MAD magazine, I mean that’s complete bullcrap.

“and that both adultery and “sodomy” should be punished by death”

I guess buggering little boys and animals doesn’t count.
