If it’s Friday in the Muslim world…
…it’s a Day of Rage.
Brian at Snapped Shot spotlights some of the early outbreaks of fire and fury at Denmark, America, and Wikipedia. Check out his full photo gallery. Here’s a sample:
What’s next?
Watch out: They’re going to be burning snack foods.
Senior Muslim figures have said that they are shocked that a number of Walkers snacks contain traces of alcohol and eating them is therefore against their religion.
I have to wonder just how many of the protesters actually know what Wikipedia is.
Demonstrations also took place in Indonesia and Kuwait, where one of the signs indicated that the demonstrators are more than willing to sacrifice their sons for the cause. How comforting.

They.are.animals.
Hmmm. The “religion of peace” at work again.
By chance does anyone remember the last time someone was symbolically burning something of Islam’s, like we regularly see with out flag?
When are we going to WAKE up and put these people [animals] out of their misery! NUKE them NOW!!!!
Americans are too busy at Happy Hour to be out burning other nation’s flags in a frenzy of hate.
No, not animals, the inevitable product of centuries of living in a truely godless society, brainwashed by the same forces that want to run (ruin) our own government, press and edication system.
P.S. NUKE them NOW and let history decide if we were right or wrong!!!
Looks like an early Obama victory celebration. They need the practice.
Never wanting to correct. Just my two cents.
And they claim we’re racists?
Nah. That’s too specific in what their distration is, Soap, for others that may be watching Dancing with the Stars or other worthless shows. How’s about this:
Nah. They typically refer to us as infidels. It is liberals here in the U.S. that refer to us as racists.
Islam, Islam…where’s your two cents? Any one want to condemn this?
I take it day in and day out on my religion, but then again, I don’t complain about it. See how it’s done?
Video: Islam:What the West Needs to Know - Full Version, ENGLISH
1 hr. 39 min. – Jan. 16,2008 Quixotic Media
Everything you’ve always wanted to know about Islam but were afraid to ask. The feature documentary that discovers the basis of Muslim violence in the Koran and the life of Muhammad.
Brainwashed by one of the MANY forces that want to ruin our society!
Among others?
Federal
EducationIndoctrinationSocialists
Anarchists
ProgressivesRegressivesCongress
The Senate
The ACLU
Radical Islam
And the list goes on … sadly and much to our detriment.
Your comments are over the top and I’m sure they do not represent the sentiments of the owner of this blog or the thoughtful and rational people who comment here on a regular basis.
Maybe you’re a CAIR plant? Toss in some incendiary comments, get a quick screencap, and then rush out a press release on “racist, Islamophobic websites”.
Get lost.
Good call Barry F.
Nail/head.
What got their turbans in a twist? Another cartoon of Obama? Oh, no, sorry, it must mean they’re venting their wrath over another Muhammad cartoon. Can I throw a hissy fit over the representation of brunettes vs. blondes in the cartoon busines? Darn.
What a bunch of ignorant cretins. Pakistanis are a very educated people (they’re certainly flocking to other countries and those countries’ universities). Makes you wonder why more moderates of this “religion of peace” don’t speak out more.
This episode is just one more example that terrorists and their sympathizers won’t go away just because the Dems want to ignore them. This is the result you get when people tell you what to think and what you should be… either that or what the typical Obama supporter would do when you say “mean, mean” things against their rock star.
I was gonna riot and burn stuff in the streets today too but I have to work.

emjem,
Haven’t seen you post much up until recently. I have to say I am becoming a big fan of yoor’s.
Keep up the good work!
It’s funny how views change after one has taken an in-depth look at a topic. Having read all of Robert Spencer’s “Blogging the Qur’an” then viewing these photographs of the actions muslims have taken, to me, they appear now as just a caricature of themselves! The religion of eternal outrage, dangerous but sad at the same time. Lost souls.
“We like Muhammad”? Okay, then why…
- Are you setting yourselves up to be photographed, when a hadith (saying of Muhammad) forbids pictures of living things?
- Is one of you wearing a tie, which to some people represents the cross, when Islam teaches that Esa (Jesus) didn’t really die on the cross, it was a stunt double?
Tantor/Barry/Box:
I thought this would offer more clarity to the current “dilemmas” Americans face. Is this a multiple choice question?

lgm (#19)
Wow! My computer just spazzed. Sorry guys. Here’s what I was preparing to post:
lgm (#19)
Cute trick. I read a quote once that I believe applies here: “Speaking of racism in relation to religion and not a race is a disservice to language and intelligence.”
(I wish I knew who to attribute that quote to.)
emjem,
Okay. Now I am developing an unhealthy attraction! LOL
Ha! I know, it’s so hard to find time for a good riot and flag-burning these days…
If it is a quiz, emjem, it probably needs to be graded on a curve for some folks.
Nice try crapweasel. I don’t recall saying anything about race.
I wasn’t aware that the liberal/lgm definition of “racist” includes those who classify others based on behavior alone.
Lgm decided instead of creating his own ideas that he will insert others’ instead. Lgm, why don’t you pitch yourself into a terrorist sympathizer frenzy in front of your impressionable math students just to show what a dope you truly are? Are you a quizling or what?
Stop being such a dupe…. now run along and teach your students how to mathematically calculate the effects of global warming on the average teenage brain. I’m sure that will be extra relevant when global cooling comes along to make you wear an extra parka.
lgm – if the shoe fits …
lgm,
Isn’t that you in the second picture all the way to the right – er ah, turn that picture upside down – all the way to the left?
Most people need a reason to get all hot and bothered.
Muslims just need a place.
If Muslims didn’t have anything to get mad about, they’d just get mad about THAT!
Know how to tell a Muslim is mad about something? His eyes are open!
lgm is a teacher?
Shocking.
Wonder why you never see anyone burning Pakistani flags?
Box:
You’re making me blush. I’m really trying to bring in a new era of Betty Boop… only this time with combat boots. My husband would take it as a complement… after he showed you his array of weapons.
Seems every day, Moslems are burning and rioting somewhere in the world. Almost entertaining, wondering where next. Like most people here, I’m too busy to riot and burn. Got to make a living. I would like to make a suggestion and a point. This is a pretty good site, I’ve found, for discussion of a lot of news and events. There is certainly quite a diversity of opinion here. I find that quite informative. May I suggest we hold back on the name-calling and insults. Using it really cheapens one’s own opinion. We all want respect and have our opinions n I certainly don’t respect an idea/opinion when it starts out with name-calling. Thanks.
Barry:
Is that a Bell Curve or an S Curve? Some of those folks need choices and conditions otherwise how would they pass the test? Either that or ask any middle school student and they’ll just say, “can we have an open book test?”
self-edit time: I meant compliment.
Just as it’s not “racist” to expect people to learn English, it’s not “racist” to classify questioning a religion (because there are white, black, Asian, and Arab Muslims) as being violent.
There is violence inherent in Islam above and beyond any world religion. Violence that continues to this day (so the argument that religions were *once* violent is a non-starter). Islam is the only religion that really, consistently acts as if it’s still the 16th century (even ice and falafels are haram because they didn’t exist in Muhammed’s time). That airplanes, nuclear warheads, and advanced weaponry didn’t exist in Muhammed’s time is a merely an inconvenience, I guess.
Islam is a religion that forcibly oppresses women and girls, that severely punishes homosexuals and other infidels, and sentences those who convert to another religion to death. They riot over cartoons. They riot over teddy bears.
At the same times, Christians boycott drivel like The DaVinci Code and we’re classified as ignorant, backwater rubes. But I notice Tom Hanks and Dan Brown are not in hiding, fearing for their lives – not even from the supposedly dastardly members of Opus Dei.
Meanwhile, authors like Salman Rushdie, cartoonists, reporters and “apostates” live with the very real danger that they could be executed for “offending Islam.”
Look at what happened to Theo Van Gogh – slaughtered in the street. Or Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who lives in fear for doing what we do on a daily basis (free speech).
That multiculturalist loving, diversity tolerant liberals heap all religion together as either being bad, or draw disingenuous connections between Islam and other religions (specifically Christianity) is frustrating and just plain wrong.
There is a vast difference. Some cultures are not created equal, and not all religions are bad for humankind.
Sadly, however, as it stands right now, Islam is a problem to the peace and security of the rest of the world.
The solution is not to ignore it, PC it away, or work to eradicate all religion but to specifically and firmly deal with terrorism, radical Islam, and jihadi apologists. And to defend people like Ali, Mark Steyn, and other justified, educated, and correct critics of Islam from the speech police and politically correct gestapo.
But, then we are assuming that they are all literate by giving them an open book test, emjem. We aren’t necessarily dealing with the cognitive elite in a lot of cases.
On February 22nd, 2008 at 10:15 am,
Cool. I like weapons. I have several and I bought the wife a P3AT.
Not to worry though. I have an unhealthy attraction to Ann Coulter too! I might as well include Michelle while I am at it!
I am a sick man!
graysonret, the lack of respect is mutual.
BT
I wonder where they get those 12-star ‘American’ flags from.
I think we should send those people burning those flags some good old hotdogs so the fire doesn’t go to waste.
eq – thanks – you have a very polished way with words – I rank you up there right alongside retfireman and bear.
Obviously, from the clearance rack at their Third World Big Box Mart.
Wonder if AlGore is concerned about the “carbon-footprint” these wackos are creating from all their flag burning.
I’m sure in the spirit of multi-cultural embrace he’ll offer a discount on some carbon-offsets. It’s the right (or is it left) thing to do.
Why does anyone pay attention to lgm? He never has anything remotely interesting to say. Cutting and pasting is something my kindergarten students can do. He’s just like snausage. Post and run. I personally think that PBoilermaker is right calling him a crapweasel because that’s what he unleashes on this blog. I don’t agree with Rusty on much of anything, but at least he sticks around for the debate.
I like your post there, EQ. That was very well put together.
EQ,
Great post as always.
How could I forget to add you to my list! Shame on me!
You have’nt been paying attention. THERE ARE NO MODERATES that is why you don’t hear them.
It’s interesting that what we see in Islam is Christianity of 800-1000 years ago. At one time, women could have businesses along with their male counterparts. Unfortunately, society turned against them. For a long time, witches were considered a superstition, until one pope said it wasn’t. That started the mass burning of women/girls as witches. Men were burned for heresy. Christians were a violent people in Europe. One reason for the Crusades was to stop Christians from “killing each other”, and direct that violence to the Moslems. The Church became more powerful and controlling. With the plague and the Renaissance, the Church finally lost some of its power. At some point, I suspect Islam will “mature” too. But, until that time, it is a serious world threat, both to other religions and itself.
Navywife:
I agree with you about lgm. He’s a troll of the post and slither under a rock variety. I hope he’s not posting during one of his planning periods (if he is a teacher). What would happen if the kids had to (gasp!) work on their own?
We’re his social experiment- not the harmless kind but the kind with really sharp teeth. He’s the gag gift that keeps on giving.
I also do admit, since I’ve worked with liberals in education (oops, they’re progressives now sorry), I’ve become acquainted with their hypocrisy and their ham-fisted, permissive rule of public education. Liberals like lgm fascinate me in a study the rats, see where they run sort of way.
Can’t we all just get along?
Thank you all. You’re making me blush.
EQ:
Awesome post and great take. Personally, I think some muslims need a really good martini to take the edge off. Either that or a really good Antarctic ice bath to chill out after a good day of raging (I’m an Anglo-Saxon by ancestry and after a good bit of raiding, pillaging, and war waging, you needed a good pint, some wenches, and a good scrub to take the residue off). Of course, those were the good old days. /sigh/
emjem24
I find it difficult to avoid challenging the resident trolls too. It is almost impossible to let some of their idiotic statements go without some response. I don’t believe this lgm character is a teacher. I think he’s a student who gets access to his teacher’s computer when he leaves for a coffee break. Maybe I’m just delusional because I have two daughters in public school and I’m hoping he’s not one of their teachers.
Blind Mule:
Perhaps, they’re so small in number as to appear invisible under the naked eye or a really handy magnifying glass? Without the moderates, who’s keeping Mookie over in Iraq in his place? Iran?
Here’s hoping that enough people will see these brutes’ actions for what they are and moderate accordingly. Yes, mine is a faint hope…
A moderate is one who holds his/her finger up to see which way the “wind” is blowing, before making a decision or statement. They have neither a liberal base nor conservative base. They just agree, depending on who they are talking to, at that particular moment.
Navywife:
I hate not to agree with a fellow military spouse but this time I hate to say it but he has as profile to go along his verbal incontinence. Just click on his name and you’ll see for yourself.
I hope your two daughters are getting the best possible education for them. Unfortunately, since there seem to be a plentiful supply of liberal teachers, I’m sure they will come across a few during their public school careers. As for post-secondary education- well, liberals are all over the place.
emjem24
Well, that is shocking! Not that he’s a liberal and teacher, just that someone who is a fellow teacher lacks the intelligence or guts to stick around for a debate.
Unfortunately, one of my freshman’s teachers is a big lib and brings up politics in class often(sometimes it is relevant). I try to give both my daughters all the information and they usually come to the same conclusions I do since it only requires common sense.
Wow and professor at that!
I’m not impressed.
anyone got the bratwursts? Let’s have a cookout by the old glory campfire
How to catch a troll
I like this version of burning Americans much better.
Blind Mule:
While I understand your point of view on the self-perpetuating stupidity that is trolls, I still would like nothing better than to put the troll liberation front out of business. Maybe the use of comedy is our best weapon.
Where would our comic relief go if we didn’t have people like Mookie telling liberals where they can stick their peace, love, and happiness dance? The world would definitely be a less funny place for sure.
PBoilermaker said (#30):
I didn’t define anything. I only wanted to put the MM view “religion of hate” next to an expression of hate from our side. I didn’t make up any of the words or definitions.
emjem24 said:
LMAO
I think you may be right.
Describing them as animals is congruent with their behavior, lgm. It is not an expression of hate.
You erred.
lgm – That still doesn’t work for me. You’re comparing the unfounded hatred that Muslims have for pretty much anyone who isn’t Muslim with the hatred many non-Muslims have for the religion that regularly commits heinous crimes and sends children and the mentally ill to die to make their point.
#69 On February 22nd, 2008 at 1:51 pm, lgm said:
“I only wanted to put the MM view “religion of hate” next to an expression of hate from our side.”
This sentence perfectly illustrates the difference in worldviews.
While these crazy barbarians are trying to kill us and establish sharia and a caliphate over the entire world, poster #69 feels it is important to show that there is “…expression of hate from our side.”
Polar opposite worldview, moral equivalence, rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic all rolled into one compact package.
If the stakes were not so existentially high, that sentence would be LOL priceless.
One really could not make something like that up.
Where? Defining those who engage in violent, dangerous and rabid behavior/riots as “animals” isn’t racist. Any group that engages in that behavior are animals because that level of violence, with such unwarranted reason (or really for any reason) and who treat their fellow man the way radical Islamists do does very little to make a case otherwise.
It isn’t hate that we express to Islam; it’s self-defense. When one party shows hatred and attacks, the other party has to use self-defense. It’s isn’t hatred or racism.
Lgm:
You seem to have all the pretensions of goodness without the appearance of it (props to Jane Austen “Pride and Prejudice”). It would seem that your grasp of religion is the kind that glosses over the lack of acceptance of all others by one in particular. It would seem in your high, educational, ivory tower you have forgotten the real world in all its complexities. It would also seem that math can calculate precise conclusions but the human heart escapes your grasp, dear troll.
If you actually want to have a substantive debate about the merits of the “religion of peace” vs. “the religion of hate,” perhaps you need to renounce your membership from the Troll Liberation Front. your analogy is incongruent to the actual sad state of events. Perhaps, CAIR will let you sign on as an honorary member?
<self-edit… Your… capital letters are so much better!
graysonret – Good call. I didn’t want to say hatred toward Muslims, I was typing quickly here at work and couldn’t come up with better wording. What I feel towards these Muslims is more a combination of disbelief, digust, sadness, and anger.
emjem24 – (OT) Possibly my favorite book ever.
RR:
I’m a huge fan of Ms. Austen. She was a keen observer of human character… especially of the craven kind. She was an author of a different caliber altogether. Too bad most publishers gave her a lot of junk for being a woman and paying her such a pittance for her books. Pride and Prejudice is definitely a book for the ages.
emjem24 – I had a lucky semester in college where, for one time only, an elective literature course was offered that was exclusively the complete works of Jane Austen. Still, after reading all six of her novels and one uncompleted work, Pride and Prejudice remained my favorite.
RR:
Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will always be my favorite book from her. I was lucky enough to read it in high school. I was a bit of a bookworm and had my head in every regency period British literary work I could find. Another favorite book of mine is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (a bit more Gothic) which delves into some of the same issues as Jane Austen.
I actually had a semi-tolerable, 10th grade, Language Arts teacher (a liberal) who was always nice to me. She opened this small town girl’s eyes a lot with these two books. Their authors encouraged me to write, express myself, never give up, and to become a writer. I’m sure they’re still shaping the minds of young people today (the ones who read and want to make something of themselves that is).
(Everyone else – sorry to have hijacked this thread)
emjem24 – When I was in junior high I was looking for something to read (a bit of a bookworm myself) and my mom gave me her old copies Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre. I love them both right away. When I was in 12th grade P & P was assigned and while most of the class groaned I eagerly opened the book for the third time. And if I remember correctly, the Brontes were also marginalized because of their gender, even writing under masculine pen names.
[Actually, my mom is in a book club through church and she convinced them to take on some classics. They're reading Jane Eyre right now and I got the pleasure of lending her the copy of the book that she gave me so long ago.]

When these riots happen, about every week, I would really like to see a trailer full of show pigs released in front of the Muslims. I bet they would run for their moon god worshiping lives.
Now, I write show pigs, because they look better in pictures. I myself prefer Whittiker show pigs from southeast Oklahoma.
How about a water cannon modified to shoot out pulled pork? No – waste of good pork. Maybe a vat of pig’s blood?
Let’s take the home-grown approach, cpodug.
Second rate frozen pork chops from a skeet thrower.
Well, great to see some people who have read Austen and other classics. I have read Austen, but have to admit, my favorite was “Silas Marner”. Sorry.
These days you wonder if anyone reads them anymore. When I was working in Fairfax County Schools, the “classics” were shown as movies to the students, even though they were terribly done and totally inaccurate. After watching a Patrick Stewart movie (Moby Dick) with students, I asked the teacher, “Why did you show this movie, being so inaccurate to the book?” He replied, “It’s the only way I can get them to know the story.” Pretty sad, in my book. No pun intended.
#88:
There are mammoth foundational/structural problems with our education system that, I believe, cannot be tinkered away.
What will be needed is wholesale cleansing of the Augean stables.
The back of the teachers’ unions (NEA and AFT) will have to be broken.
Education will have to be removed from the grip of the “educationsts”.
A far less expenseive, far more efffective, far more responsible alternative to four years of college will have to be developed.
This is just for starters; of course, this will have to be accompanied by a sea change for the better in our overall society/culture.
I’m not sure that the necessary changes for the salvation of our nation/society/culture will be able to be brought about in our current cold culture war.
That we are living at a critical (in the historical sense) time, with tremendous, existential consequences deriving from the decisions we make, is something of which I am being more and more convinced with every day that passes.
Pray – pray very often and fervently – for our country.
I agree, Granite. The worse classes I saw, were the history classes. (History has been a hobby of mine since I was in college). Kids are using calculators in Math and have no idea how to do simple arithmetic. They don’t get the idea of logic and reasoning…so important in understanding concepts. English is terrible…why is everyone talking in “similes”? (I’ll let you all look that one up). Physical Ed is optional and we wonder why they are getting fat. Cafeterias have a lot of nonsense food. I’m no longer there anymore…I worked with kids that were on ventilators and needed someone close by to make sure all was okay…but I’m sure things haven’t changed. It’s all about pushing the kids through the system and getting them out the door. Education be damned.
graysonret and granite –
My husband and I have not yet had any children but I sure have fears about the educational system in this country. We’ve already discussed the possibility of homeschooling if we find the public school system to be too much to bear.
(graysonret – Silas Marner is by George Eliot – and I’m sorry to say I’ve never read any of her work. I just finished a book, maybe I will pick that one up next.)
***I’m seriously sorry about completely hijacking this thread (but I just love talking literature.)
RaisedRight…yes, I knew that George Eliot was the author (AKA Mary Anne Evans)
Sorry I didn’t post it right. Anyway, not all educational systems are equal. Some are better than others. Yes, check what the school system offers, before deciding on other options (home-schooling).
Hey literature lovers, you guys are ruining my humor with the show pigs.
Let’s see, ah yes, the water cannon sounds a bit mean, and 60ish. The skeet thrower might put a Muslims eye out. Kind of like a Daizy BB gun you always wanted for Christmas.
Of course, a two thousand pound bomb would work on the riot, but who wants to clean it up?
I’m waiting for someone to come out with the ALLAH AKBAR candybar. Made with nuts and gooey sap, and in the shape of, dare I say it, Mohammed.
Pigs are very intelligent, more so than even dogs… I do not approve of eating them.
But they can be trained to attack
jus sayin
Look at all those minority Muslims out there making trouble and a bad name for the majority of peace loving moderate Muslims. Those jerks. If only they would behave so that the moderate Muslims could just go about their lives without bad Cyber-Bullies like me calline them what they are.
So, I probably shouldn’t tell anyone that I named my Pleko fish (those are the bottom feeding sucker fish that eat all the waste products and algae…the scum suckers) Mohammed and Osama. I changed their names after the teddy bear incident. My 8 and 10 year old daughters thought it was funny that I named my scum sucking fish those names, and I think they started to flourish wit the new names as well.
Oh well, wouldn’t be a Friday after prayers without “the Religion of Death” having a temper tantrum about something.
I wonder if anyone will tell them that just because they have recently decided that they should not have images of Uncle Mo in their “religion” that it doesn’t mean squat to those of us that do not adhere to that death cult and we can draw him all we want? No? Oh well.
Phew, lgm’s on our side now!
All I can think of is Robert Barone’s description of his future brother-in-law “That guy has squirrels juggling knives in his head.”
