All This Fuss Over A Cartoon!?

Out of all the things in the world that should piss people off, I never thought a cartoon would be one of them.

I read and article on Yahoo! News (Cartoon Protesters Direct Anger at U.S. ) about all these Muslims in other countries getting upset and starting riots, over some cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad. From what I understand, Islam forbids any illustrations of the prophet. Ok cool, but let’s take a look at this.

Ok first, I’m willing to bet everything I have (and it’s not much) that the person or persons who drew the cartoon is in no way shape or form a Muslim. Therefore, I don’t think they are obligated to abide by their rules and beliefs. Just because their Muslim doesn’t mean everyone in the world should bend over backwards for them and live by their teachings. If that was the case, then these Muslims should abide by some rules of Christianity. Let’s see, what rule should they live by? Oh, how about the one about having one wife!?!?

Secondly, whoever was behind the cartoon has the right to express their opinion, whatever it may be. From what I understand, the cartoon originated from a newspaper in France and was never shown in any of these countries where the people are pissed off. BUT, because they hear someone on the radio talk about it, they feel the need to get pissed. Here’s an idea, why don’t you get pissed at the fact you live in the middle of nowhere and no matter where you turn you see this lovely color of brown. Get pissed at the fact that when you shower or bathe your dirty within 2 minutes because of all the dust and dirt from the desert. Get pissed at the fact your own people (radical Muslims) are giving you a bad rep!!! Did that ever cross your mind!?

Finally, if we here in America got pissed off and started riots every time some one in one of these countries wrote, said, or drew anything that went against what we stood for, I don’t think there would still be an America. These people, well I should say these RADICAL Muslims, have been doing and saying stuff against America since they day their fathers missed their birth because he was with his 3 other wives trying to make more RADICAL Muslims. We just wanted to be left alone but no, your pussy ass “hero” Osama bin Laden had to rattle this dog’s cage. So what is he doing?!? Hiding in the mountains while the rest of you are getting bad reps. But yet you still continue to help the bastard hide. Here’s an idea, get rid of the bad apples, do something good for once and THEN everyone will change their opinion about you and stop dissing you every chance they get. DUH!

So in conclusion, it makes no sense for the Muslim world to be pissed off about a stupid cartoon! It was just something someone did to get a laugh at the image the bad apples in that particular group have created. We Americans take hits like that all the time and you don’t see us getting all bent out of shape about it! So quit blaming every image problem you have on everyone else when everyone in the world knows who you should blame. So to all the RADICAL Muslims out there, you are my close encounter for today and everyday until you actually do something to help yourselves!

I am so glad I am not the only one who gets upset about people thinking we should all abide by their beliefs, but they, for some reason, do not have to abide by ours. You had so many good points in here, and I am glad someone just came out and said them because we have all thought them at one point in time or another!
