This would make a wonderful Ramadan gift. A New Dark Age is Dawning has a link to them for sale at the Cafe Press store.

Calling these ignorant freaks in Sudan human garbage is just too kind. Oh so peaceful, effin SICK animals...

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
give a pig a prophet's name

glorify the godly swine
and thank him for his bacon

.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
outlaw all teddy bears

before some little kids
try to honor a prophet

.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
pay your teachers with DEATH

for visiting to help out
your ungrateful country

The problem is, Dave, that merely "acknowledging" that the barbarians are at the gate (or, as in the case of much of Old Europe, already in the citadel) is not sufficient. They need to be brought into the 21st century (hell, I'd take the 19th at this point), and the first step is not merely "acknowledging" the difference in the cultures but affirmatively stating that our modern Western Civilization is superior to their savagery and Sharia.

I don't think you read closely enough, Benedict. This is taking place in the Sudan not in San Diego. In this case the barbarians aren't at the gate, they're at home doing what they've done for 10,000 years. And, if you'd cared to read the links, you might have concluded that their complaints are far less Sharia than they are the traditional tribal practices that are older than Mohammed.

We don't have laws against naming teddy bears "Mohammed” here in the United States and, yes, that's vastly superior to the poor, benighted places where ignorant illiterates are acting out their tribal beliefs and calling them “Islam”.

I won't be holding my breath on how that worked w/ North Korea during Clinton's adminstration and them getting their nuclear reactors going producing plutonium for their bombs.

What are you smoking, Bennie? Who, exactly, do you imagine is going to be "brought into the 21st century" by being told his culture is "inferior" and "savage"?

This is the stupidity (since we're calling things by their names) that makes the Republicans incompetent to conduct foreign policy. Diplomacy 101: You get what you want by either (1) trading for it or (2) persuading the other guy that what *you* want is also what *he* wants. Not by (3) trumpeting your superiority and his inferiority.

I don’t excuse it; I simply acknowledge it.

Is that a position you are willing to take?

Including of course Joshua, his "real" name.

I understand that some Jews are actually so mocking of the One True Faith as to name their children after Our Savior.

If we followed the example of Sudan and jailed religious offenders we could not only restore the dignity of our Christian Nation, but we could also put a stop to the immigration problem pretty damn quick.

Anyone named Jesus would run for the border in short order.

What is linguistically interesting is the variation within the Muslim world in the appropriateness of using the name Mohammed. In most of the Muslim world this is a common name for boys, but in Turkey it is considered inappropriate to give a boy the same name as the prophet. In Turkish, the name Muhammed, which closely reflects the Arabic original, is reserved for the prophet. If you want to name your son after the prophet, you must name him Mehmet, the Turkicized form.

Of course, since the poor little boy whose teddy started this is named Muhammad, it appears that Sudan is in the mainstream on this issue, if not on the consequences.

(My little boy always wanted to name betta fish, etc., after himself, up to & including proposing his own name for his little brother. He thought it was bogus that we said that last was a bad idea.)
