Tejek and others, you have called me biased against Islam. I tell you for a fact that I was not biased until I learned alot about Islam after 9/11...when I learned that in reality Islam is an antiquated religion of violence. You want to know why I have a bias against Islam, yet I seem to be so tolerant of Jews? Read the article below. How can you not love a people who are willing to laugh at themselves? They are very much like Americans. Nothing is out of bounds for American humor and so it is the same for the Israelis. Now let's contrast that with those freakish Muslims all over the world who have now killed many other Muslims in protest over CARTOONS! First, why are they killing themselves in protest over Western cartoons? Second, why are they protesting over CARTOONS anyway. Let it go, you freaks. Let's face it. Muslims just aren't very likable. I'm beginning to see why here in the US, we have a policy of funding the Israelis with $3B per year, while we only give a fraction of that to the Palestinians. Why would we ever want to promote a culture that is so shitty as that of the radical Muslims in that region? I don't want my taxpayer dollars going to those murderers. I'll tell you that much. jpost.com TA artist takes on Iranian cartoons By AARON WENNER While riots over the cartoon depiction of Muhammad continue to rage worldwide and controversy surrounds an Iranian newspaper's decision to hold a Holocaust cartoon competition, an Israeli cartoonist has come up with his own ironic - some say misguided - response. And it's attracting a wide audience. Amitai Sandy, 29, a Tel Aviv graphic artist, has launched the Israeli Anti-Semitic Cartoon Contest, a challenge, led by Jews, to find the best cartoons, caricatures and short comic strips that demonize the Jewish people. "We'll show the world we can do the best, sharpest, most offensive Jew-hating cartoons ever published!" wrote Sandy on his Web site. "No Iranian will beat us on our home turf!" Sandy told The Jerusalem Post that his intention was to challenge bigotry by using humor - an approach that officials at Yad Vashem are not convinced is the best idea.

EXACTLY! The world has become so used to Muslim terrorism that they don't think anything of a Muslim putting out a contract on someone. Now to be fair, Bush is putting contracts out on people as well. I guess the real difference is that Bush is putting contracts out on mass murderers, whereas Muslim clerics are putting contracts out on cartoonists and authors of novels. That's a big difference don't you think? It shows you how irrational and violent Muslims and the Islamic religion is. No, you are wrong; in fact, you have become irrational.
