The sensitivity of crybaby Muslims

Posted on January 1, 2010 by Michael

A Somali man was shot after trying to murder a Dutch cartoonist.

A Somali man believed to have ties to terrorist groups was shot as he allegedly tried to enter the home of Danish political cartoonist Kurt Westergaard — known for his controversial depictions of the Muslim prophet Mohammad — on Friday, police said.

The man was only shot in the leg and hand and will survive, but it’s unlikely that his injuries have caused him more harm than the cartoon. Not real harm, of course. He’s just another crybaby Muslim who is demanding undue deference for his insane beliefs. He has no basis, no evidence, no good logic, no method by which to come to any sort of intellectual satisfaction for anything he seems to think (as is the case with Christians, Buddhists, Scientologists…), so he lashes out when anyone dares to confront his ideas. As is the case with those who crafted the Irish blasphemy law, he cannot handle any sort of religious criticism. He hates the idea of individual liberties and free speech. He’s a selfish, small man. The worst of it is that he’s just the cry – the whine – for religious respect embodied.

The biggest irony of this all is that Westergaard was actually criticizing people for exploiting Muhammad in order to legitimize terrorism.

Now the Republicans are really reaching

A Guantanamo inmate has been transferred to U.S. soil for trial.

The first terrorism suspect to be brought from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the United States for trial appeared Tuesday in federal court in New York, where he pleaded not guilty to 286 murder and conspiracy charges in the bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya.

Okay, this all seems to be on the right track. The man is being given a trial because, despite probably being a terrorist, he is still a human being. He has rights that are not unique to Americans. But wait! That has nothing to do with why he’s here.

But conservative lawmakers opposed to closing Guantanamo lashed out at moving Ghailani into the U.S. justice system. “This is the first step in the Democrats’ plan to import terrorists into America,” House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) said in a statement.

Wow. Boehner apparently thinks the Obama administration is setting up terrorist training camps. I know there’s spin in politics, but this is just absurd. Beside that, aren’t U.S. prisons already terrorist training camps? We send non-violent and minorly violent offenders to prison where they learn how to be better – and more violent – criminals. And isn’t it the Republican stupidity of “HE IZ SOFTORZ ON CRIME!!1!” that got us in this mess?
