Taking on Lego terrorists

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 5, 2008 07:41 AM

Wow. Imagine if these Muslims groups were as vocal in their criticism of actual jihadists as they are in expressing their “disgust” with toy terrorists:

A range of Lego-style fighting figurines – including an Islamic terrorist militant – has sparked outrage among Muslims. The toy mini-figures, made by American Will Chapman, includes a masked terrorist bandit with an assault rifle, grenade launcher and belt of explosives.

Shocked by the playthings, British Muslim organisation the Ramadhan Foundation has branded the figurines “absolutely disgusting”.

Chief executive Mohammed Shafiq said the figures were “glorifying terrorism”.

He said: “I don’t think there’s any difference between someone that shouts hatred through a megaphone and someone that creates a doll that glorifies terrorists.

“As a parent myself, I’m going to teach my children respect for the law and respect for each and every community.

“These are the lessons parents should be giving to their children – not lessons about weapons and violence.”

The toy firm, BrickArms, is here – but “Mr. White” is now on backorder.

    “Hey, Joe? It’s been a slow day for us so far.”

    “Think we can get outraged about something, Bill? How about teddy bears named Muhammed?”

    “Done already and they let the woman live.”

    “Hold on…here we go! Legos that look like terrorists!”

    “PERFECT! Let me get my bomb vest on and we’ll go express outrage at this!”

    Let’s continue that abstract thought process Einstein- Do you believe there’s any difference between an adult male who rapes a 9 year old girl and an adult male who enters into a contractual marriage with a 9 year old girl and then consumates the union?

    The BrickArms website doesn’t say anything about Muslims, Islam, or terrorists (at least on the page selling the “BrickArms Bandit – ‘Mr. White’”). The author of that article is guessing at it.

    Here’s a tip: If some Muslims stop looking and acting like terrorists, then people will stop associating toys like this with them.

    This is a great quote from the SunTimes columnist Neil Steinberg:

    How can those so indifferent to the hurts they cause be so sensitive about perceived slights?

    That pretty much sums it up for me.

    Just one more reason to allow any future kids I have access to my old Lego chest, which I’ve not been able to get rid of.

    Lego is a dutch company, as I recall. Good on them.

    Besides, lego men are yellow. As my liberal betters inform me, Muslims are categorically “brown” people. They’re mocking a plastic Adam Gadahn.

    If we can’t have Lego terrorists, the terrorists have already won.

    Cair does not condemn terrorism and you are indeed a simpleton if you believe that, but again you believe that abortion mills are bombed by Christian terrorists daily. CAIR also has aims to take away first amendment rights but they do it so slowly that most people don’t notice. Examples are that one can’t be critical of Islam or you are branded as a racist or bigot in doing so.

    One opponent to this toy says:

    Chief executive Mohammed Shafiq said the figures were “glorifying terrorism”.

    The koran says:

    Koran 8.60: “Prepare for them whatever force and cavalry ye are able of gathering to strike terror, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies, of Allah and your enemies.”

    Koran 4.56: “Those who have disbelieved our signs, we shall roast them in fire. Whenever their skins are cooked to a turn, we shall substitute new skins for them, that they may feel the punishment; verily, Allah is sublime and wise.”

    Koran 47.4: “Therefore, when ye meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks and when you have caused a bloodbath among them, bind a bond firmly on them.”

    Koran 4.89: “They but wish that ye should reject faith as they do, and thus be on the same footing as they, so take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah. But if they turn renegades, seize them and kill them wherever ye find them, and take no friends or helpers from their ranks.”

    Koran 8.39: “Fight them until there is no dissension and the religion is entirely Allah’s.”

    You tell me. Which is worse? Legos, or the koran?

    I suppose the Japanese and Germans would have considered my toy soldier set back in the ’60′s having included German and Japanese soldier figurines with assault rifles, grenades and belts of explosives “absolutely disgusting.”

    Hey, my US soldier figurines had to have an enemy to fight and kill, after all.

    “These are the lessons parents should be giving to their children – not lessons about weapons and violence.”

    Lesson about weapons and violence given to children are essential, if done in an appropriate manner, so they know how to deal with each rationally as an adult.

    Not every moment will be filled with love, peace and joy in an adult world – unless you live in Obamaland.

    Especially in Europe, there have been many radical-Muslim street mob-scenes, composed of protesters holding signs like “Behead those who mock Allah”, and effluent along similar lines.

    Question:

    Does anyone know of counter-protests, wherein someone holds up a sign saying something like “Allah has sex with donkeys”, or some such?

    If so, I’m just wondering to what extent there’s a double-standard reaction by the media, police, etc?

    I see. So the toys that depict ACTUAL TERRORISTS are “absolutely disgsting, but the REAL Terrorists they remain silent about.

    Why is he not going public against those of his faith that have made such a toy possible? In true Islamic fashion, they continue to remain silent about those that have commited over 12,000 separate terrorist acts in the name of Islam since 9-11, and will only speak out against those that call them what they are.

    When Muslims begin to rise up, expose all those that they know to be terrorists based on OUR definition of the word, then maybe we should listen and take them seriously. Until then, they should just shut up and return to bowing down to their falsr moon god.

    “glorifying terrorism”. What, and you guys don’t? The martyrdom videos, and the posters all over Palestine of murderous thugs who blew themselves up killing others don’t glorify terrorism?

    “As a parent myself, I’m going to teach my children respect for the law and respect for each and every community.” O.K., how ’bout you start with the Jews?

    “These are the lessons parents should be giving to their children – not lessons about weapons and violence.” Yeah, besides, the madrass will teach them the latter.

    …This lgm guy, there is no way he is for real. He comes in here to joke obviously.

    frontierguy,
    I thought that at first when I noticed lgm several months ago. I now have no doubt that lgm is serious. He goes over to Kos or similar and thinks he sees a really slam-dunk put down on the conservative movement. Then he’ll come over here and drop his little “coup de grâce”. His points and method of delivery or so juvenile and shallow. When others try to engage him he does not respond. Every now and then, he’ll have a follow up post or two, but it doesn’t matter. They’re all empty words, hypocrisy, non sequiturs, or just bizarre. It’s as if he thinks, “this will get them” and hits the submit button. He probably thinks he can singlehandedly bring down conservatism. I know that he cares about how people react to him because several times he has remarked about people insulting him. lgm is not trying to be outrageous or funny; he is trying to be “cool” and to be king-of-the-hill. Instead he comes of as immature, unoriginal. He is supposedly a math teacher and refers to himself as a “technical person”. I know he is really proud of that and has probably fallen into the intelligence trap
    It wouldn’t be surprising if he also suffers from Asperger’s syndrome
    Anyway… that’s my take on him.

    I can’t make up my mind whether lgm should stay or go (up to Michelle). For a long while I wished that he would be banned because of his annoying posts. Now, I find myself looking for his posts. It’s like watching a really stupid movie – so stupid that it is fascinating.

    I’m up late (3:30am CST) because I’m afraid to go to sleep. I had sinus surgery today and I just don’t know how sleep will work tonight. I guess I should try.

    Oh, no doubt. Everyone hates the real terrorists. We just don’t all agree on who the real terrorists are.

    When conservatives condemn terrorists, they generally mean Al Q’aeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, et al.

    When progressives condemn terrorists, they mean Big Oil CEOs, parents who homeschool their children and anyone who drinks water from a disposable platic bottle.

    When muslims condemn terrorism, they mean Israelis, the American military, immodest women (who don’t wear chadris) and homosexuals.

    But yes, we all hate the real terrorists. That’s a trivial point.

    CAIR’s website is illegal. In fact, CAIR itself is illegal.

    That’s right: in a legal sense, CAIR no longer exists.

    The only actions in which CAIR can legally engage involve dissolving the organization and distributing its assets.

    Whatever will witless dhimmis who cite CAIR as a prime example of moderate islam do?
