   “We are so disconnected from the conflict zone,” Bilal said. “I wanted to bring that picture closer.”

   Well Wafaa, if you wanted to get up close with the conflict zone, you could enlist in the armed forces–either side, in fact–instead of playing with your joystick all day. Just sayin’.

   Bilal, 42, said his art is a personal attempt to deal with the deaths of citizens in the country of his birth. The artist said his brother died in Iraq in 2004 from a U.S bomb.

   Sweet! Hey Bilal, what did the U.S. bomb do to the rest of your brother’s cell?

   Put together an exhibit of MOHAMAD killing people, chopping off heads, raping and maiming. See how long it takes for that exhibit to go on display!!!

   “The game itself is not an act of terrorism,” said one protester. “But it simply promotes it.”

   Does that idiot have any idea of what that statement means?

   Calling yourself an artist should Not absolve you from the consequences of your actions. For additional commentary on this subject please go see Ezra Pound.

   I would have the Secret Service roust scumbags like this and haul them in for some serious questioning. Make them miserable for a few days before releasing them. Actions have consequences.

    Yeah, add fuel to the “Bush is a fascist” fire. We know that’s bull, but lefties won’t understand that threatening the president is against the law and blame Bush for being anti-speech.

    I’m predicting, here and now, that if Barack Obama becomes president not only will stuff like this result in fines and/or jail time, but a plethora of other penalties. You criticize Obama in any way, shape, or form you will not only be unpatriotic and guilty of treason, but a raving racist, too.

    “Dissent is patriotic” only if lefties don’t like who’s in the White House.

    Hey Wafaa! Is Robert Maplethorpe in your 5? You two have that edgy art thing going on, so you should get together sometime soon. That way the swat team only needs one net for you two poinyoins!

    Rogue:

    You’ll need a shovel to nab Mapplethorpe. According to Wikipedia:

    Mapplethorpe died on the morning of March 9, 1989, in a Boston, Massachusetts hospital from complications arising from AIDS (surprise, surprise); he was 42 years old. His ashes (like his johnson) were buried in Queens…

    Emphasis mine.

    Gee, how did I miss that bit of news? 1989 huh? His crap art must be worth a fortune by now. Thanks for the update, now I gotta go cash in on that “Piss Christ” lithograph I’ve got lying around here somewhere.

    As a conservative artist, I am finding it harder and harder to refrain from doing and outrageous piece that goes after the left. I of course would not advocate the assasination of anyone but the fact is I will guarantee you that I can come up with something equally outrageous that the left would scream foul about, before I do it I will have to make sure that I have a legal fund set up, because I will definitely be questioned and arrested for my 1st amendment right as the moonbat artists claim. Most of this stuff is not art it is trash hideing behind freedom of speech.

    So his response to the loss of his brother and fellow countrymen is to design a mechanism that propagates and glorifies mindless death and mayhem, extending loss to others? Ridiculous!

    A creative thief like your Uncle is more admirable to me than these no talent hacks like Bilal. A real artist can get away with alot. For his last twenty years or so Pablo Picasso “paid” for everything by check, making a 5 second sketch on each. He knew that no one was going to actually deposit his checks but they might sell them. So he effectively created money and got away with it.

    Has anyone cheked if this “artist” is related to the AP fauxtography and terrorist enabler stringer from Iraq? Be something if we are letting family members of terrorists in.

    Agreed!

    What gets me is, this is the same crowd that has one coniption fit after another in protest of gun ownership rights, using spurious stats to cite guns as the culprits for any perceived increases in violent crimes and mortality rates, while never acknowledging the possibility of a direct coorelation between the glorification of violence in the media and its effects on society.

    They are narrow-minded hypocrites, and every bit as responsible for increases in violent crimes as the tools [guns] that are misused in perpetrating them.

    Well, most of the time, liberal arguement isnt based on fact, or logic (and i’d point to every time i’m verbally slapped lgm down as examples), nor do they care about the consequences of their actions.

    They simply do something because of how they feel.

    And that is a dangeous prospect, when one is ruled completely by their emotions and dont ever try to rationalize or logically decide matters based on fact.

    I just want to thank the Sate Department for continuing to allow moon god worshipers into this country.

    Keep up the good work Condi, and give yourself a bonus on the tax payer dime. Please, do not worry about the southern border, and American citizens security.

    Did you enjoy the video of trying to murder the POTUS Condi? Chertoff, are you awake?

    No reversal, just a one time face to face to hear Iran’s response. You’ve been misinformed.
