    I know what thread this is heading to... :rolleyes:

    Honestly, though...they take their religion *WAY* too seriously.

    Terrorist #!: "Yes, lets burn down buildings and burn flags in the "true Spirit of Allah"!

    Man with half a brain: "Mumble, mumble, mumble."

    T1: "What's that? Allah would condone this type of behavior and is a *benevolent* and *kind* god?!?!?"

    T2: "Let's secretly worship the Christian god...that dude gets pissed off really easy!"

    T1: "Yes, and we will call him Allah too!" :shake: :rolling:

    I really don't think that's fair, BA, and Kitrax you should know better as well.

    It's insults and ignorance like that which has caused problems anyway. You will get fanatics of every religion, you will also get people who will use religion as an excuse for violent ends and reasons for unacceptable behaviour. But there is absolutely no reason to mock the way a religion is practiced or what they worship.

    As long as there are people claiming that their religion condones the wholesale slaughter of those who are not of the religion then we'll damn well insult said religion as much as we like.

    Good on ya Barmy!

    Even if you're insulting people who have nothing to do with and do not condone the actions of the extremists in any way?
    It's like saying "Hey, those Christian fundamentalists are a bunch of nutcases! I will now use this to justify verbally assaulting a non-fundamentalist Christian!".

    Um, Kitrax at least kept it pretty clear that he was talking about terrorists. That was good Kit.

    Oh come on, it's a joke; I guess a few people in this thread ought to be raising their hands as well. :hahaerr: Not to mention that this is most likely a picture of the very people who are rioting because they can't take a joke, right in the middle of rioting! If singling out the exact people you're making fun of is generalizing, I must have really missed something in English class. :shake:

    I find this just as funny as a bit on Mind of Mencia when he showed a picture of two attractive actresses with raised arms after saying, "Raise your hand if you want to bone Carlos Mencia." :lol:

    If the picture actually had anything to do with Barmy's line, it would be funny. But it isn't.

    I'm gonna make Harbs a prophet (pun intended) if y'all can't deal with this as a joke. Any more serious stuff (other than "not funnny", which is within the thread) like political analysis and other Alley material will mean a swift change of location. ;)

    Hehe, that was a good one. In our own homes, we should be allowed to make all kinds of joke we want to, and if someone else does not like them, who cares, that's their problem.

    Personally, I'm not offended by Barmy's statement: after all, these fanatacists have taken things WAY too far, and all they're doing is inspiring more satire.
    Personally, I'm offended by Abomination's belief that the actions of a tiny minority justify verbally ripping on the religion as a whole, which just ain't right, y'all.
