A SHOUTOUT TO THE FRENCH SATIRICAL PUBLICATION’S NEW CARTOONS RIDICULING MUHAMMAD

OBAMA: Please forgive us for having Freedom of Expression. If I get reelected I’ll have more flexibility to limit it for you. Would you like us to change our treatment of women and gay people to please you, too?

While Barack Obama has been too busy proving he can’t crawl low enough in his attempts to please the homophobic and misogynist Muslim world the French satirical publication Charlie Hebdo defiantly ran an issue with multiple irreverent cartoons featuring Muhammad, the central figure of Muslim mythology. 

This action came after the latest round of those Muslim sacraments called murdering, rioting and burning which were held to commemorate the 9-11 attacks and to allegedly protest a youtube video showing Islam the same irreverence that all other religions deal with on a daily basis – and deal with in a civilized way. The French magazine was showing the solidarity for Free Speech that all people with a backbone should be showing.

Congratulations to Charlie Hebdo and to the French government for not rounding up the “offensive” magazine (though they did try to discourage them from running the issue) and for HAVING THE FORESIGHT TO SHUT DOWN EMBASSIES IN 20 COUNTRIES to safeguard their diplomatic staffs and their families. They also have claimed they’ll have a zero tolerance policy on Muslim violence over the images of Muhammad, since the blood-soaked religion he founded perpetuates the superstitious savagery of Continue reading →

FAQ’S ABOUT THE HOMOPHOBIC AND MISOGYNIST SAVAGERY OF THE MUSLIM WORLD

” Youtube videos are creations of the devil and have caused every act of Muslim violence going back for centuries!”

 It’s your old buddy Balladeer, but you can just call me “the puppet of Jews” like Muslim fanatics do. With the barbaric and backward Muslim world proving yet again that it is incapable of coexisting with the modern world and with the weak and inept little man in the White House pretending Youtube videos justify killing people it seemed like a good time to address some Frequently Asked Questions about the hate-filled and blood-soaked religion called Islam’s latest attempts to intimidate people. So let’s look at a few FAQ’s about The Religion of Perpetual Outrage.

Q: Are you one of those cowardly non-believers who will only criticize Christianity while giving Islam a free pass? 

A: No, I criticize all religions and regard them all as fascinating mythology that should never be taken literally. Muslims are the only ones who violently insist their religion should be above that sort of criticism.

Q: Isn’t it, like, mean ‘n’ stuff to criticize somebody’s religion?

A: No, it’s only rational to subject all of the world’s religions to criticism and satirical irreverence. Other religions, especially Christianity, have to put up with it on a daily basis and their practitioners may complain but they remain civilized and don’t kill anybody or burn down buildings or launch make- believe “spontaneous” riots over it. Islam and Islam alone reacts in this barbaric and unacceptable way which does nothing but make people despise Islam even more than they already do.

Q: Is it appropriate to grovelingly point out ad nauseum that not every man, woman and child who practices Islam is participating in this murderous rampage?

A: No. That is just an argument used by people trying to justify their own gutlessness. You’ll notice those same people don’t point out to Muslims that “not all Christians” or “not all Americans” made Youtube videos critical of Islam. Those spineless people only use such arguments to pretend they are taking a principled stance by siding with Islam. It helps them avoid facing up to how craven their behavior really is.

Q: What would it take to Continue reading →

MUSLIM WORLD PROUDLY REMAINS THE LAND OF SUPERSTITIOUS SAVAGERY

I don’t recall Christians committing acts of violence en masse when tax dollars financed anti- Christian works like the photo of the crucifix soaked in urine or of figures from Christian mythology sculpted in feces. 

When Jesus, the central figure of Christian myths gets mocked and is virtually a recurring character on shows like South Park nobody gets killed and there are no savage masses of Christians storming buildings over it. 

When cowards like Ricky Gervais pretend to be “edgy” by posing as Jesus on the cover of a magazine no Christian mobs fill the streets carrying out acts of violence.

No, superstitious savagery like that is perpetuated in the Muslim world alone, just as Islam is the most homophobic, misogynist and backward belief system in the world. 

The press coverage of the latest barbaric behavior from the Muslim world is typically cowardly and is loaded with snide references to “the Israeli American” who made a film treating Islam with the kind of irreverence that Christianity gets treated with on a daily basis.

There is even a Broadway comedy called The Book of Mormon, ridiculing Mormon beliefs but since Mormons are civilized there were no Continue reading →

A GREAT BOOK EXAMINING MUHAMMAD’S MENTAL STATE

Sujit Das’ work Islam Dismantled: The Mental Illness of Prophet Muhammad is a much- needed critique of the founder of Islam. It’s easy to find books criticizing the founders of other belief systems from around the world but when people are brave enough to subject forever-intolerant Islam to these same rational examinations the cowardly political correctness police pretend it’s “hate speech” or “Islamophobia.”

I’ve mentioned in the past my personal belief that Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, was a mentally unbalanced man who Continue reading →

ISLAM’S WAR ON WOMEN CONTINUES: HERE’S HOW YOU CAN LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD

 Regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog will remember the heroic Irshad Manji, a Muslim woman who is openly lesbian and has been working with other Muslims to initiate reform in Islam. Irshad’s book, The Trouble With Islam Today, was discussed in a previous post here in which I also lauded her courage in dealing with the threats of  physical violence which she and her fellow reformers face on a regular basis.

Manji also heads the Moral Courage Project at Continue reading →

TERRIFIC BOOK – A GOD WHO HATES: THE COURAGEOUS WOMAN WHO INFLAMED THE MUSLIM WORLD …

 At Balladeer’s Blog I’m always open about how much contempt I feel for American liberals because they are too cowardly to subject Islam’s misogyny and homophobia to the same criticism they subject Christianity to. I’m an ardent non-believer in ANY religion and see the gutless silence of the politically correct left to be an obstacle to convincing the Muslim world into ever joining the 21st Century. ( And no, whiny liberals, I’m not a conservative. Just read around my blog and see. )

If people had been as cowardly about criticizing Christianity we’d still be living like the 1600’s Puritans or Continue reading →

A TERRIFIC BOOK EXAMINING RELIGION VS REASON: THE CLOSING OF THE MUSLIM MIND

 Regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog know that I consider all religion to be mythology and that none of the world’s “holy books” should be taken literally. Most religions are civilized enough that their practicioners can deal with that viewpoint, no matter how angry it makes them. We all know which religion would be the one exception and the book The Closing of the Muslim Mind by Robert R Reilly provides a great deal of insight about that religion.

Reilly’s book covers the conflict between religious literalists and rationalists in the Muslim word from the 9th century C.E. to the 11th century C.E. Obviously, the Continue reading →

A SHOUT-OUT OF SUPPORT TO MUSLIMS PRESSING FOR REFORM OF THEIR RELIGION

Irshad Manji

 On December 26th, in Amsterdam, two Muslim speakers who favor reforming and modernizing Islam were addressing a public roundtable on the subject when the meeting was disrupted by a gang of members of the Muslim fundamentalist group called Sharia4Holland. They attempted to shout down the speakers, demanded the event be stopped, threatened and spat at the speakers  and accused them of apostasy, an offense punishable by death under Islamic law. Police were needed to deal with the assault. 

The intruders were so proud of all this that they even posted a video of it at their group’s Youtube site. The name Sharia4Holland may sound like satire, but there’s also a group called Sharia4Belgium, and I can’t help wondering if the pro-Sharia groups also have organizations called “Death2TheInfidels” and “WeH8Apostates”. 

The two Muslim speakers were Dutch parliamentarian Tofik Dibi, 31, and NYU Professor Irshad Manji. Manji was born in Uganda in 1968 and is lesbian. She is also the best-selling author of The Trouble With Islam Today: A Muslim’s Call For Reform In Her Faith.    

Speaking about the experience with the intruders from Sharia4Holland, Manji had this to Continue reading →

GUESS WHAT RELIGION THE SO-CALLED “SANTA KILLER” BELONGED TO?

Aziz Yazdanpanah, who allegedly committed the hate crime of killing six members of his family and then killing himself this past Christmas morning was also outraged that his daughter was dating someone outside his “faith.” If you guessed he belonged to the outdated, xenophobic, homophobic, misogynist religion called Islam you’d be correct. And let’s face it, the only people who couldn’t have guessed are delusional left wing political zealots who think they’re somehow “sticking it” to delusional right wing political zealots by whitewashing the Muslim faith in the many incidents like this that take place. 

I’ll point out again that I’m a non-believer when it comes to religion, and I think all such beliefs are just mythology, but even I have been unable to ignore the Continue reading →

MILESTONES IN THE HISTORY OF STUPIDITY: ISLAM AND “HONOR” KILLINGS

Regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog are familiar with my view of all religion as mythology. Most religions are civilized enough that their practitioners can deal with that type of viewpoint. Islam, of course, is the exception, and perpetuates superstitious savagery like killing people for drawing pictures of Continue reading →
