The Mack Attack

Thought-provoking clap-trap for the skeptic-minded

HEARD THE ONE ABOUT THE MULLAH...?

Today's Mack Attack is aimed at religious zealots bereft of a sense of humor.
The BBC broadcast irreverent cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed on Thursday to help audiences understand "the strong feelings" sparked by a report of a Muslim backlash provoked by the cartoons' original publication in Denmark.
A BBC spokesperson said the cartoons were broadcast on the 13:00 news bulletin on BBC One, its main domestic channel.
First published in Denmark in September and later picked up by a dozen publications across Europe, the caricatures have provoked a firestorm of indignation in the Muslim world.
A few extremist Islamic groups, such at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, have threatened retaliation against citizens from the countries in which the cartoons appeared.
Many newspapers have reprinted the cartoons - including one depicting Mohammed with a turban-shaped bomb on his head - in a show of support for the Danish paper, Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten.
A BBC spokesperson said the cartoons were being used "responsibly and in full context to give audiences an understanding of the strong feelings evoked by the story" but I think the entire world is finally fed up with Islamic bullshit and they're beginning to show it.
As far as I'm concerned, free speech outweighs any religious protest, radical Muslim grumblings most of all. If this is the beginning of a holy war, bring it on and let's toast those bearded bigots while we still have the manpower and wherewithal to do it. Once Iran gets long-range missiles, our position will be somewhat weaker.
