Offensive People Offended

SEARCH BLOG: ISLAM and POLITICS

I'm beginning to think that this whole fear of al Qaeda and Islamic terrorists may be overblown. Just think about it... how can you attribute ferocious traits to a group of twits who are:
  • offended by puppies
    A police force has apologised to Islamic leaders for the "offensive" postcard advertising a new non-emergency telephone number, which shows a six-month-old trainee police dog named Rebel.
  • offended by women talking to them
    ''She behaved in an improper way,'' he said, whimpering. "She came very close with her whole body towards me. I couldn't do anything.''
  • offended by cartoons
    The cartoon, breaking all laws of respect of religions and beliefs [???], has created uproar among Muslims in Toronto and all Muslims who saw the cartoon or heard about it.
Kind of reminds me of certain Democrats who displayed similar traits after viewing the New Yorker cartoon of Barack and Michelle Obama.

The world sure is filled with a lot of humorless, easily-offended people.
The upside is that provides plenty of targets for blog material... like this guy.


ADDENDUM

By the way, where's the uproar about cartoons depicting President Bush like this?

or this

I guess it is politically incorrect for anyone except Muslims and Democrats to be offended... since satire and sarcasm and vitriol directed at Republicans are merely expressions of truth.
