If I had my way with violent men
I’d simmer them in oil,
I’d fill a pot with bitumen
And bring them to the boil.
I execrate the terrorist
And those who harbour him,
And if I weren’t a moralist
I’d tear them limb from limb.
Fanatics are an evil breed
Whom decent men should shun;
I’d like to flog them till they bleed,
Yes, every mother’s son,
I’d like to tie them to a board
And let them taste the cat,
While giving praise, oh thank the Lord,
That I am not like that.
For we should love the human kind,
As Jesus taught us to,
And those who don’t should be struck blind
And beaten black and blue;
I’d like to roast them in a grill
And listen to them shriek,
Then break them on the wheel until
They turned the other cheek.
Why would you Draw Muhammed? Because some people get offended and say you can’t.
You know whats offensive? Killing or attacking people because of a drawing. Censoring people who are exercising their right to free speech, as if free speech is allowed only when it does not offend you.
This event has taken off in a big way. Draw Muhammed Day started off as a couple of kids trying to make a point using a Facebook group. The idea caught on, and it has cannonballed into something big and controversial, you’re going to see a lot of Muhammed pictures across the internet today. Some countries have gone to the extent of banning Facebook and some websites. If moderate Muslims truly believe in free speech, they ought to be supporting the people who are drawing these images, even if they don’t necessarily like them.
Here is my own random rendition of Mo. I was kind of imagining Jesus and Mo in Vegas, having a good time before one of them marries a nine year old. But didn’t think stick figures would get it across. So, for what it’s worth, here is Muhammed in a poker game.
An idea to end the practice of burkas / hijabs being worn in the west: Instead of making it illegal for women to wear the burka, lets make it mandatory for prostitutes to wear it.

Please direct criticism and death threats: here (NSFW). Thank you, come again.
Pat Robertson, a conservative christian american televangelist with a large following, recently implied that legalizing gay marriage would be a slippery slope to legalized bestiality. Notably sex with ducks.
I think as a society we’ve gone beyond the point where bigotry should be treated with respect. It deserves to be treated with derision. Most people will come round, once they realize that its not acceptable to be a bigot any more.
With that in mind, check out this great response to Pat Robertson.
