Protein Wisdom (via Instantman) has the outrage du jour - Italy wanting to haul into court an author insufficiently friendly toward Islam.
Makes you want to scream, "Stop the Towelheads!" just to make sure we still can.
The TurkeyBlog, of course, believes that there is a fair part of virtue in Islam and that if its practitioners could just muster the same levels of common sense that Jews and Christians (even the Creationists) apply to their religion, things would be hunky dory.
The TurkeyBlog just wishes selected Muslims would stop blowing themselves up and doing other things to make him look like an idiot for respecting their faith.
Speaking of idiocy, the sharpest bit is Charles Austin's note on one of our idiocies:What if someone uses a lit US flag to ignite a Koran at the same time that someone else uses a lit Koran to ignite a US flag? Just imagine the indignation that would flare up from all quarters to such performance art. Which pyromaniac has committed the greater sin or crime (since they aren’t synonymous—yet)? Better yet, what if we print the Koran on a large US flag. Would burning this Koranified US flag then be wrong in Mr. Conyer’s eyes? I imagine by the time we got done, both sides of the case would be led by attorneys from the ACLU.
