No One Murdered Because Of This Image | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

WASHINGTON—Following the publication of the image above, in which the most cherished figures from multiple religious faiths were depicted engaging in a lascivious sex act of considerable depravity, no one was murdered, beaten, or had their lives threatened, sources reported Thursday. The image of the Hebrew prophet Moses high-fiving Jesus Christ as both are having their erect penises vigorously masturbated by Ganesha, all while the Hindu deity anally penetrates Buddha with his fist, reportedly went online at 6:45 p.m. EDT, after which not a single bomb threat was made against the organization responsible, nor did the person who created the cartoon go home fearing for his life in any way. Though some members of the Jewish, Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist faiths were reportedly offended by the image, sources confirmed that upon seeing it, they simply shook their heads, rolled their eyes, and continued on with their day.

I guess we are all becoming hardened to this sort of thing. It is certainly worse than the Danish cartoons
a few years ago that had the whole Muslim world up in arms.

Kinda relates to these later articles:

Dear Muslims, Christians, Hindus, and Jews,

You’re living in the age of the Internet. Your religion will be mocked, and the mockery will find its way to you. Get over it.


If you don’t, what’s happening this week will happen again and again. A couple of idiots with a video camera and an Internet connection will trigger riots across the globe. They’ll bait you into killing one another.

Stop it. Stop following their script.



Mohammed movie embassy attacks: Don’t let Internet videos drive you to violence. - Slate Magazine






The Stupidest Post Ever By Will Saletan
Found via a tweet by @joshgreenman:

Will Saletan convinces the rioters to relax (if they read Slate and are susceptible to, you know, reason).​

The ridiculousness starts with the lead-in:

Dear Muslims, Christians, Hindus, and Jews, You're living in the age of the Internet. Your religion will be mocked, and the mockery will find its way to you. Get over it.
If you don't, what's happening this week will happen again and again. A couple of idiots with a video camera and an Internet connection will trigger riots across the globe. They'll bait you into killing one another.
​

Come on, why be "inclusive"?

with a comment after the link thrown in from sda for good measure:




The Mainstream Left Still Doesn't Get It

Is there not something mighty peculiar at the beginning of this new column by William Saletan on Slate:

Dear Muslims, Christians, Hindus, and Jews, You’re living in the age of the Internet. Your religion will be mocked, and the mockery will find its way to you. Get over it.
​

Amy Alkon sure thinks so.






Here’s a small fix:
Dear Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Jews and Progressive One-Worlders
You’re living in the age of the Internet. Your religion will be mocked, and the mockery will find its way to you. Get over it.

But, but , but, It's the religion of peace....:roll:

 

[L Gilbert]

"Religion of Peace"? Is that like "God of Love" in being a misnomer?

 

[WLDB]

But, but , but, It's the religion of peace....:roll:

No religion is the 'religion of peace.'

 

[DaSleeper]

No religion is the 'religion of peace.'

Let me google that for you

 

[L Gilbert]

IMO, the religion of peace has people in it that aren't so peaceable and the god of love ain't so loving.

 

[WLDB]

Let me google that for you

Witty. Im well aware that some describe Islam as such, but they arent the only religion claiming to be 'peaceful.' The die hard fundamentalists of all religions tend to be fine with violence and are only peaceful around those who agree with them.

 

[gerryh]

I and the god of love ain't so loving.

and you know this how? You've met him? He's told you?

 

[L Gilbert]

and you know this how? You've met him? He's told you?

yep. Read his book.

 

[gerryh]

yep. Read his book.

Yup, as I said in a different thread, ignorant. Also easily lead by others.

Sorry to hear about your problems, ger. But we all have our little glitches and I won't hold it against you.

Isn't that the whole point the onion is making?

 

[gerryh]

The fact that I can look at things objectively and not let others cloud my observations is one "glitch" I am happy to have. You should try it sometime if you're not already brain washed as to what is what.

Where can I find Muslim sourced pics of Jesus or Moses doing nasty ****?

I will draw some tomorrow. How raunchy do you like godly people?

A few hundred years ago the cartoonist would be burned on a stake. Western society has grown up alittle. African nations are barely out of the stone age. It could take a few hundred years more for them to get over it.

Grownups don't incite juvenile reactions and they do not take advantage of them either. The west has grown down not up. Look at the economy the wars the stagnation and the poverty. Where's the up Kreskin? The western stone age looms in the setting sun.
