And The Lord Spake, "Wtf"

Does anyone hear that clapping noise?

In the news today, they're talking about all the ruckus, uproar, shenanigans and goings-on that have been caused by this cartoon doodle from the Netherlands.

Let me say this again.

In the news today, they're talking about all the ruckus, uproar, shenanigans and goings-on that have been caused by this cartoon doodle from the Netherlands.

We're clear on what's causing this? Good. What is that clapping noise?

Muslims the world over have been deeply offended by the image of the Prophet Mohammad wearing a bomb head-dress. They have responded to these outrageous claims that the Prophet condoned violence... by burning down buildings and killing white people. Hey, the clapping noise just got louder.

If your religious faith is so fragile that a newspaper comic doodle in a different country causes you to form a posse, an "angry mob", if you will, and go forth seeking bloody retribution, then I really don't think you have thought this whole "Live in peace with all peoples" thing through. Yes, criticism of Muhammad is often equated with blasphemy, which is punishable by death in some Muslim states, and yes, Muhammad went to war a couple of times when the existing government didn't like his ideals. But he was also chosen by God, and spoken to by the Archangel Gabriel, to correct and perfect God's religion upon Earth, and unless I've missed my guess, most of those wacky Biblical proverbs had to do with "being nice to people".

I figured out what the clapping is. Muhammad is smacking his forehead everytime something like this happens. After a moment, he turns with his bruised forehead and says to Jesus, "Dude, I totally get what you went through in the Middle Ages now." Jesus just nods, and goes back to his Nintendo DS.

It was so hard to find something for the Pic of the Post, but I hope you'll enjoy this following sin against humanity.
