It’s back! Saudi cleric revives controversy over adult-suckling fatwa

Yes, you read that right, and our You Might Want to Read This Sitting Down Department sends its suggestions that… well, you know. Why would something this wacky make a repeat appearance? What kind of weirdo would suggest such a thing? Who, indeed? (Insert awkward silence here.) Muhammad, actually, according…

And now, a moment of moral equivalence from the Iranian media

The implication here is absurd, but predictable. That is, the notion that 6,000,000 Jews killed in the Holocaust, as well as the millions of members of other groups the Nazis attempted to exterminate, is an atrocity equal to a cartoon about Muhammad, or jokes about Islam in general. Frankly,…

Cartoonist originally behind “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day” apologizes, Iran gloats

Whatever she may think now, hopefully Molly Norris will someday realize that launching “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day” was the right thing to do for the sake of free expression and to shine a spotlight on the double standard that too many Muslims — even ostensibly “moderate” ones — demand for…

S. African Muslim leaders urge followers to react (“responsibly”), castigate paper for not suppressing free expression

Amid all of this uproar, three simple words bear repeating: It’s. A. Cartoon. Indeed, imagine if this level of indignation were directed at those who commit atrocities at the urging of Islamic scriptures? Note also the sense of entitlement to special treatment. “Muslims urged to react,” from iAfrica, May 22…

Emos in Saudi Arabia?!

Man, I thought this horrific trend was on its way out. Apparently, it’s surfacing in—of all places—Saudi frickin’ Arabia! The Saudi religious police have arrested 10 women for dressing emo-style. For those that do not know what an emo is, the link explains:
The trend is characterised by wearing skinny black jeans, tennis shoes, colourful T-shirts [...]

Resigning DOJ Attorney Worried about “Violent,” “Criminal” Black Panthers

Christian Adams, a key attorney working on the Department of Justice’s voter intimidation case against the New Black Panthers, has recently resigned. His primary reason — and what has been emphasized in the resignation coverage — is the controversy Adams and some of his colleagues have been embroiled in after the Department’s dismissal of the [...]

Oops! Black Children Better Off with Married Parents

No serious person believes our “private” lives have no impact whatsoever on society at large. Furthermore, such a person does also not believe that the number of fatherless boys in jail is just a coincidence. To put it more dramatically: the West’s expressive divorce culture has destroyed more lives than the bombing of Hiroshima.
But more [...]

No Motoon left behind!

We’ve received a few more submissions contributions for Everybody Draw Muhammad Day. Here they are: From Raven: From Gravenimage: From WM (and we realize this may be offensive to Looney Tunes fans and the National Pork Board):…

South African adherents of the Religion of Peace warn of “backlash” after court injunction against Motoon is denied

This case offers proof yet again of Sam Harris’ observation (quoted by Brad Thor here): The position of the Muslim community in the face of all provocations seems to be: Islam is a religion of peace, and if you say that it isn’t, we will kill you. Of course, the…

South African cartoonist gets death threats for drawing in which Muhammad tells shrink, “Other prophets have followers with a sense of humor!”

Another worthy item for our Thank You For Proving Our Point Department. “Cartoon gets Zapiro death threats,” by Bianca Capazorio for the South African Press Agency and Reuters, May 22 (thanks to Rick): Days after an alleged al-Qaeda operative detailed sketchy plans to attack World Cup teams over cartoons…
