Velvet Jesus? Velvet Elvis? False Idols!

Velvet Muhammad? Allahu Akbar!

The Biggest, Baddest Prophet of All Time!

Seven startling similarities between Elvis and Muhammad:

* Both have a cult-like following.
* Elvis built his career on rock. Muhammad built his career on a rock.
* Millions of pilgrims flock to Graceland. Millions of pilgrims flock to Mecca.
* Elvis served in the military. Muhammad led the military.
* Elvis was born in Tupelo, Mississippi. Muhammad also came from nowhere.
* Both had a real taste for virgins.
* Both live forever in velvet.

Velvet Prophet paintings protest the presence of a medieval culture in the 21st Century. We witnessed a clash of civilizations when Jyllands-Posten published cartoons critical of Islam. Both mainstream and radical Islamists responded with violence ranging from violence to the human right of free expression to physical violence. We cannot allow the modern world to be held hostage by an ideological anachronism. The Islamic World understands that the free exchange of ideas would inevitably lead to the demise of an inferior culture. Their response represented the temper tantrums of a child who simply does not want to grow up. Child psychology tells us not to give in to their demands. +

maz2 "The Islamic World understands that the free exchange of ideas would inevitably lead to the demise of an inferior culture."

There's nothing inherently "inferior" with respect to Islam. It will eventually be modernized just like christianity has over the past five hundred years. The radicals know this which is why is why most of their violence is directed at other muslims whom they consider apostates.

ROTFLMAO Maz!! ;-)

But isn't it the Quran that references Jews as monkeys and rats...perhaps that is where Hitler got the reference to mice. ;-)

And don't forget Piglet.

The telling thing about the 'monkeys and rats' reference is that Muslims claim the same lineage as Jews from Abraham. Pretty much uncovers Islam for the bullshit that it is.

Islam will never be Christianity. It's impossible for a faith based on twisting Jewish and Christian texts to suit it's own ends; a faith based on hate towards anybody who is not like them - to have an appeal outside it's largely uneducated and impoverished victims. They'd have to edit out half the Koran and white wash Moes life and evil actions.

Really makes the case for keeping religous fundamentalists, wherever they are, away from any education and government.

Islamic leadership is in the 14th century. Muslims, all over the world aren't going to want to be anything but free and in the 21st century. Our strategy shouldn't be nuclear but subversively developing insurgency

Tom and Jerry were not even created by Disney. The cartoon is an early creation of William Hanna and Joseph Barbera who also brought us the Flintstones and Hucleberry Hound. Reference: http://www.tomandjerryonline.com/.

A quick google search on the surnames Hanna and Barbera indicate the Hanna is likely of German background (From Hanan, a strong city in Hesse Cassel, Germany. Hana, Saxon, a cock; figuratively, a leader, a chief man). Barbera looks to be of Spanish origin.

Maybe Prof. Hasan Bolkhari should do his homework. If he's looking for a Disney character to attack - how about Bambi? Or maybe will be kicking himself for blowing his load on Jerry when Mickey is such a great target!

Something very remarkable is happening around the globe and, if you want the short version, a Muslim demonstrator in Toronto the other day put it very well:

“We won’t stop the protests until the world obeys Islamic law.”

Stated that baldly it sounds ridiculous. But, simply as a matter of fact, every year more and more of the world lives under Islamic law: Pakistan adopted Islamic law in 1977, Iran in 1979, Sudan in 1984. Four decades ago, Nigeria lived under English common law; now, half of it’s in the grip of sharia, and the other half’s feeling the squeeze, as the death toll from the cartoon jihad indicates. But just as telling is how swiftly the developed world has internalized an essentially Islamic perspective. In their pitiful coverage of the low-level intifada that’s been going on in France for five years, the European press has been barely any less loopy than the Middle Eastern media.

Jose always sees light at the end of the tunnel because of his personal contacts. A small numbr I'm sure, because there is nothing in the British news that would lead one to believe that his friends represent even .1% of the British Muslim community. If there is a Martin Luther in the Muslim world we could be awaiting his unveiling at any moment, but don't blink because his lifespan will be remarkably short without the support of the silent moderates.
The world's chances of seeing the anti-christ unveiled before Islam's saviour arrives on the scene is much greater, unfortunately.

I know.. don't feed the trolls, but joses latest drive-by is too much to pass by.

What we are seeing is the epitome of multicultural think... all cultures are equal and therefore non either superior or inferior.

IMHO, a religion/culture that does not provide equality for 1/2 its population (women), preaches and proscribes hatred for other human beings, jails and torture political dissidents and homosexuals and has had no significant scientific or artistic advances since 800 AD, is in fact "inferior".

To claim or believe otherwise leads to absurdity.

BY MARK STEYN SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST

In five years' time, how many Jews will be living in France? Two years ago, a 23-year-old Paris disc jockey called Sebastien Selam was heading off to work from his parents' apartment when he was jumped in the parking garage by his Muslim neighbor Adel. Selam's throat was slit twice, to the point of near-decapitation; his face was ripped off with a fork; and his eyes were gouged out. Adel climbed the stairs of the apartment house dripping blood and yelling, "I have killed my Jew. I will go to heaven."

Is that an gripping story? You'd think so. Particularly when, in the same city, on the same night, a Jewish woman was brutally murdered in the presence of her daughter by another Muslim. You've got the making of a mini-trend there, and the media love trends.

Yet no major French newspaper carried the story.

This month, there was another murder. Ilan Halimi, also 23, also Jewish, was found by a railway track outside Paris with burns and knife wounds all over his body. He died en route to the hospital, having been held prisoner, hooded and naked, and brutally tortured for almost three weeks by a gang that had demanded half a million dollars from his family. Can you take a wild guess at the particular identity of the gang? During the ransom phone calls, his uncle reported that they were made to listen to Ilan's screams as he was being burned while his torturers read out verses from the Quran. + more here:

Muslim Preacher on Temple Mount: Restore Worldwide Islamic Rule
Arutz Sheva ^ | Feb 26, 2006 | Hillel Fendel

Posted on 02/26/2006 9:42:17 AM PST by ml/nj

Sheikh Ismail Nawahda, preaching to Moslem masses on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on Friday, has brought it out into the open: the call to restore the Moslem Khalifate, or, "Genuine Islamic Rule."

A plan for the "Return of the Khalifate" was published secretly in 2002 by a group called "The Guiding Helper Foundation." The group explained that it wished to "give direction to the educated Muslim populace in its increasing interest in the establishment of Islam as a practical system of rule."

This past Friday, Feb. 24, however, the plan went public. Sheikh Nawahda called publicly for the renewal of the Islamic Khalifate, which would "unite all the Moslems in the world against the infidels."

The Khalifate system features a leader, known as a Khalif, who heads worldwide Islam. Assisted by a ten-man council, his decisions are totally binding on all Moslems.

According to the Foundation's vision of the Khalifate, significant punishment can only be meted out for 14 crimes, including "accusing a chaste person of fornication," "not performing the formal prayer," and "not fasting during Ramadan."

The Foundation recommends working to restore the Moslem dictatorship using a system of small groups around the world. The purpose is so that the "enemies of Islam" who "will definitely try to stop us" will have a "much harder task, if not impossible, if they are faced with a myriad of small groups of differing locations, ethnicities," etc. This method also "ensures that if one group... is found and cut off, other similar groups will remain undetected." +

Thanks maz2

From the Montreal Monthly Muslim News; (via LGF)

Calling on Muslim to embrace western values, or in this case Australian values, is merely coded speech calling on us to leave our faith. For believing Muslims our set of values are based on the Quran and the noble example of the prophet Muhammad. If we look deeply into the sickness of what passes for “western values” one can see why we choose Allah over human made systems of morality and conduct.

Allah unambigously says in the Holy Quran:

“O you who believe, obey Allaah and obey His Messenger, and the people in authority among you. And if you dispute over anything, refer it to Allaah and His Messenger if you really believe in Allaah and the Last Day, that is best in terms of consequences.” (4:59)

“And he who does not rule by what Allaah sent down, it is they who are the disbelievers.” (5:44)

“And he who does not rule by what Allaah sent down, it is they who are the wrongdoers.” (5:45)

“And he who does not rule by what Allaah sent down, it is they who are the rebellious.” (5:47)"

Thanks maz2 and Artemis.
That's the part of all this that makes me go hmmmm. Shari'a law seems to be a basic tenet of the religion of Islam. When we tell them no Shari'a in Canada, we are not asking them to separate church and state in the way we are used to thinking of it. Church = State to them.
Or at least that is the way I have led to see it.

So, that either means Islam in Canada must be fundamentally different than Islam elsewehere, or we simply exclude them from immigration.
I hope that in a generation or two, if we make it that far, that the Western version of a non-theocratical Islam can be an example to the rest of the world.

Sorry to post twice in a row, but I really enjoyed the article by William Gardner today at http://www.williamgairdner.com/
I don't always agree with him but he always makes me think.
The one comment that struck me was in the second last paragraph;
"There is not much difference between being called to kneel and ask forgiveness before an Imam, or before one of our many Human Rights Commissioners. "

That Tom & Jerry bullshat reminds me of a tirade by another religious fundamentalist/fanatic: remember Jerry Falwell's tirade against Twinky Winky the purple Telletubbie? LOLOL.

Mind you, as fundamentalists go, if I had to choose between the two, I would far sooner embrace Falwell's brand of it, over any of those crazed Islamist nutbars.

But then again, I don't have to choose either of them now do I?.... Whewwwww! :)

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. Steven Weinberg

If it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever. Woody Allen

Jose is part of the British disease that infected Canada when all the union hacks and lib/lefties came here after Thatcher was elected. Put on ignore.

We aren't surrendering until they hold Wile E. Coyote hostage.

Even if his arch enemy collaborates with the Islamofascists, US Special Forces have special powers to alter the grim beheading.

Mind you, as fundamentalists go, if I had to choose between the two, I would far sooner embrace Falwell's brand of it, over any of those crazed Islamist nutbars.

Best to remember that it's a Christian country that protects your right to choose.

I don't think anyone wants the Islamic fenatics to change or abandon their beliefs. If they don't like our country's costumes and beliefs they are free (as Australia states) to go back to where they can freely practice their religion.

What is wrong with these people? What makes them be like this? Did you see the room full of students taking notes while this "professor" went on about Jewish mice? Scary indeed that these people are close to having nukes. As Irwin Daisy said, if you look at how the Koran twists Christian and Jewish texts it quickly becomes apparent that the whole thing is based on lies. They have to kill anyone who may know different.
Scary

Muslims claim that theirs are the true texts.- however , much as Christian and Jewish Texts were altered in their verbal form they were well documented and written down by the time Mohammeds caravan rolled through the Christian and Jewish centres and he heard or misunderstood them.

Good evidence that he was both dyslexic and epileptic. --- much like Moses( epileptic and stutterer)and Simon Peter(epileptic only) , Caesar(epileptic only)

Why is it that Australians are smart enough to recognize that Islam is indeed a threat to their way of life?

Meanwhile Canadians, after that idiot Trudeau decided that multiculturalism was the way to go.

Well I think I have the answer. Prisoners of Her Majesty founded Australia, while many of the founding Canadians were inbred Remittance Men from the French and British aristocracy.

The Koran takes the Torah, the Talmud, and the New Testament, puts them in a blender, mixes up the characters in time and space, has God asking Abraham to sacrifice Ishmael not Isaac, and then basically says that the Jews lied in their version - even tho the Torah had been around some 2000 years and for sure in written form for 1000. It is thought that Mohammad may have been a yeshiva student or studying to convert to Christianity. He proclaimed himself the last of the prophets and was very upset when the Jews and Christians of his time did not take him at his word.
Fundamentalist secular leftists do not get this because they do not want to recognize this as a continuation of the story that begins with the book of Genesis. The Bible is not dead, it is a living tradition and we are living out a chapter right now. Muslims see themselves as descendents of Ishmael. Read about Ishmael in Genesis. It is uncanny in its description of today.

Wait'll the Islamofascists get a load of that other cat-and-mouse duo "Izzy and Scratchy"!

In the UK this past summer, a city council office banned any representations of Piglet or pigs because a Piglet figurine coffee cup (or something) offended one of the muslim council members who happened to see it in someone's cubicle. (see: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2005/10/04/do0402.xml&sSheet=/portal/2005/10/04/ixportal.html)
Around the same time, Burger King felt compelled to recall the packaging of its ice cream desserts because muslims complained the swirl on the package looks like the arabic word for Allah. (see: http://news.scotsman.com/uk.cfm?id=1951292005

It's a slippery slope....no wonder then that emboldened by the capitulations of these frivolous things, muslims then escalate their threats over some innocuous cartoons. What's next?

You've heard of Biblical criticism - the study of the Bible as a historical piece of literature. Why do we never hear of "Koranic criticism"?

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/HB07Ak02.html

More revealing than the refusal of the mainstream American media to repost the Mohammed cartoons is the disappearance of more dangerous material previously available. Newsweek's "Challenging the Koran" story of July 28, 2003, has vanished from the magazine's website. The government of Pakistan had banned that issue, which among other things reported a German philologist's contention that the Koran was written in Syriac rather than classical Arabic, translating the "virgins" of Paradise as "raisins". As I observed before, the topic of Koranic criticism has disappeared from the mainstream media. Since the suppression of the Newsweek story the Western media have steered clear of the subject.

ol hoss, re: "Best to remember that it's a Christian country that protects your right to choose."

Actually, more to the point, it is a freely elected democractic, secular society that protects my right to choose. Fundamentalists of any religious stripe tend towards dogma and absolute control of their flock. Often, there is a very fine line between acceptable fundamentalism and religious extremism. I am not denying that Christian morality and viewpoints don't influence our society - however they play a lesser role in shaping and controlling our lives than would otherwise be the case were it not for our form of democracy and government.

Robert, re: "I don't think anyone wants the Islamic fenatics to change or abandon their beliefs. If they don't like our country's costumes and beliefs they are free (as Australia states) to go back to where they can freely practice their religion."

I suppose the "head in the sand" approach works for some people. But it is awful difficult for many of us westerners to just sit back and watch the atrocities carried out by the extremists in their own countries. I agree though that we should not be inviting extremists and fanatics into our societies, and we must start exporting the ones that are trouble makers back to their countries of origin. And the sooner the better.

But that is only part of the solution. The free world must play a role in standing up to the extremists and terrorists, in each and every corner of the globe. The evil genie is out of the bottle now, and it will not be content to just sit back within its own borders. They are out to get us, and we must face the threats they pose head on.

Actually, more to the point, it is a freely elected democractic, secular society that protects my right to choose.

Oh really, a country 80% Christian is secular?

I am not denying that Christian morality and viewpoints don't influence our society - however they play a lesser role in shaping and controlling our lives than would otherwise be the case were it not for our form of democracy and government.

I suppose it's the leftist education system that prevents you from knowing that the very laws that protect your rights come directly from scripture.

Equality before the law is uniquely Christian. Numbers 15:15-16.

There are some posters here who might well take off their fright wigs before they scare others into unattractive timidity. In the first war there were stories of the "Huns" spitting babies on their bayonets, but they were not true. In the second war there was lots of barbarism on all sides, but the most advanced nation of the West, Germany, seems to have done the worst. In Viet Nam there were stories brought out about Village Chiefs losing their heads, but later it turned out that the most
savage actions were often promoted by the CIA. In the first Gulf war we again heard about babies killed in hospitals by Iraqis', and that also turned out to be untrue.
In war you can say all the soldiers were brave, every one in every war because it is mostly true and there is not much point for looking around to find atrocities, there always are some in war. Perhaps one can avoid circulating or promoting atrocity talk not only because it is often untrue and it often turns out that very bad actions are done by the "good guys" but also because it lowers the level of society. It is like sitting in the mud, you just get dirty. It is necessary to deal with the wretched of the earth, not run around preaching hysterical hatred.

Warren: Oncoming

A very sharp essay from David Warren on the rise of Islamism: Oncoming. +

Even after the experience of the Great War, and the Depression, people on the eve of the Hitler war could not appreciate what was coming. It is only in retrospect that we understand what happened as the 1930s progressed — when a spineless political class, eager at any price to preserve a peace that was no longer available, performed endless demeaning acts of appeasement to the Nazis; while the Nazis created additional grievances to extract more.

This is precisely what is happening now, as we are confronted by the Islamist fanatics, whose views and demands are already being parroted by fearful “mainstream” Muslim politicians. We will do anything to preserve a peace that ceased to exist on 9/11. Not one of our prominent politicians dares even to name the enemy.

And from a mixture of fear of, and sympathy for, large, recent, Muslim immigrant communities in the West, we confuse domestic and foreign issues. I do not doubt the great majority of Muslims, in Canada and around the world, are decent, “moderate” people, who want no part in a “clash of civilizations”. But it has become obvious they can do nothing to stop the triumph of “Islamism” internationally, or oppose the fanatics proselytizing in their own communities.

Germany was full of moderate Germans, as Hitler rose; Stalin drove his oars through a sea of moderate Russians. While we must not forget that the Muslims are the first victims of “Islamism”, and may suffer most from its triumph, we are beyond the point where we can do more for them than destroy the tyranny by which they are enthralled. + more

ol hoss, re: "Oh really, a country 80% Christian is secular?"

That high, really? Perhaps (depends on whose figures you use), but in name only, I'd venture to say.

"Equality before the law is uniquely Christian. Numbers 15:15-16."

I did not know that, thank you for that bit of information.

I'd venture to guess that thousands of others before my time did not know that either, otherwise they could have saved themselves a lot of trouble during the inquisitions. :)

Christian Biblical illiteracy is a problem. That can be remedied, unlike atheists who simply follow others as flawed as themselves.

Like Stalin etc...

There are flawed individuals in every walk of society - including theologians, priests, ministers, etc.

Best plan is to avoid following anyone else's moral code, and work on improving your own.

Even the most glittering heros of our time have flaws.
