Cartoon by the very courageous Bosch Fawstin
As an American, I believe that I have the right to say anything I please. I don't deliberately offend others. Rather, I use the rules of polite society to guide my choice of words. I would never make deliberately insulting or offensive comments about Mormons, Buddhists, Sikhs or Catholics. They don't attack me so I feel no need to attack them. If Muslims behaved in the same manner I wouldn't deliberately say anything offensive to them. But they don't. Of all the world's major religions there is only one that demands subservience of all the others. There is only one religion that routinely threatens others. There is only one religion that spreads by means of intimidation and violence. There is only one religion that is not willing to coexist peacefully with the others; Islam. And when Muslims tell me that I must not insult their religion, I am comfortable in telling them to go piss up a rope. I will not submit to threats. I will not abandon my right of free speech.
If you want me to stop deliberately insulting you then fix your religion and culture and come join the rest of us in the civilized world. Civilized people peacefully discuss and debate their differences. Savages use threats and violence. If you cannot live in the civilized world, please feel free to go back to your 7th Century Islamic paradise.

My blog, my rules. If you don't like what I write you don't have to read my blog. You can disagree, but if you act like a dick you're gone.
