I say close all our embassies in the middle east, bring home all our personnel and troops, stop the foreign aid to these countries and lets start helping Americans here at home. All the other western countries should be following suit. These countries are nothing but timber boxes ready to explode. Let them reap their own violence, we don't need our sons and daughters to be sacrificed over extreme religious beliefs and be in the middle of secular violence.. It's time we start minding our own business and if countries are in the mist of a civil war, let them deal with it.
When will we all learn that we can't force our ideology and belief systems on other countries. It gives us nothing but heartache and pain to watch our innocent and brave soldiers die for dirty oil, corporate and government agendas.

i think its fair to say this is now becoming a anti western movement now. not just targeted at the u.s
What is the "Islamic Flag"?

Jesus said you may speak against the Son of Man, but the one thing he would not forgive was to blaspheme (slander,scoff,ridicule) the Holy Spirit. So, i just ignore people when they make fun of Jesus. They wouldn't make fun of him or ridicule him or us if they knew what he did for them and all of us.

In a considered and proportionally insignificant response to these acts of terror, I am drawing a series of cartoons, depicting The Prophet Mohammad in a variety of different modern day roles. I've just done one of him as a Transgendered ladyboy, pole-dancing outside the Mosque. Another of him stood, ragged and filthy on a street corner, offering himself to passers by for crack money. And my favourite, as a poor, raped 13 year old Yemeni girl giving birth to her rapists baby in a jail cell, the day before they stone her to death for adultery.
I'm only doing them for my own amusement though. I'm not going to upload them or anything, because rather than lighten the mood somewhat (as they do for me), they might get taken the wrong way, by people with no sense of the satire, and actually inflame the situation. Still, it's quite gratifying from my end. It's how I manage to stay so optimistic in the face of such madness and horror.
By looking for any grain of humour, no matter how inappropriate, and lolling, lolling, lolling, with a laugh that will be written of in days to come, as "The Holy Chuckle".
And laughing as we go, we shall bestride the World like a Colossus of Divine Lulz, spilling our Healing Humour like an infection of Sacred Jollity over everyone, Moslem Christian, Discordian or Jew. Let him who has no joy in his heart be bathed in the panacea of our gentle scorn.
That's the plan, anyway. Anyone have a better one?
I'm sitting here reading your comment over and over and over AND I was hoping I read it wrong but I didn't. My question is WTF ARE YOU WRITING?
Please correct me if I am soooo wrong but why the hell would you draw cartoons like this knowing that this kind of stuff making people flip-the-hell-out and go on an rampage?
I bet you will tell me that, its your freedom of speech right?
If you actually read what I said, there's a bit saying that I was only drawing for my own amusement. I also stated that I had no intention of uploading and posting them online. Just how can my private scribblings make people "flip-the-hell-out and go on an rampage?" I'm not going to censor my own drawings, in my own home, just because some frothy fundamentalist, in a country far away might take offence. They're never going to see them!
And as for "freedom of speech", I'm British, and have no constitutional right to free speech.
Actually, wrong. I'm not advocating any type of violence at all. My post describes my totally non-violent coping mechanism in response to the mindless violence of others. I haven't added to the sum violence of this debacle in any way whatsoever.
Just by you saying this is why the world is itching and dying to pour more violence into the world because of your amusement right?
You wrote "my favourite, as a poor, raped 13 year old Yemeni girl giving birth to her rapists baby in a jail cell, the day before they stone her to death for adultery."
Its s#!* like that makes me sick to my stomach and throw up!!!! You really pissed me off!!
Are you suggesting that the above statement and the scenario it describes are somehow pleasing to me? That it doesn't make me sick to my stomach to know that this # goes on in real life? Because if you are, you've obviously got no sense of satire, and your choosing to take offence at my post is a reflection of your own issues, rather than of my intent. People are getting killed over pointless schadenfreude, yet you seem to be focusing on your own reaction to an imagined slight that you seem to think I've offered you.
I'm not the bad guy here, I didn't burn any Embassies or flags, rape any girls, or shoot any diplomats. I didn't call for any violence, or make any judgements. I didn't directly insult anybody. So, yanno, get over it, and focus on something real.
Judgemental? Much? If I want to "sit around with nothing better to do than draw cartoons of a bunch of b.s" then who the hell are you to tell me what I'm doing is worthless? I'm not doing it for you, I'm not sharing the actual cartoons, I'm not doing anything that impacts on you, or anyone else. And your comment, "Expressing those kinds of thoughts of joking around is what gets people angry." is a really facile thing to say.
Well it must not be "so private" if your describing what your thinking of whether you uploaded or not because now " I am " responding to you in the matter of question. If drawing those things elevates your mood to make you happy in the thought of people suffering well kudos to you my friend. But you have already gave me the visual picture of something that's very senseless ignorant in my opinion. Obviously WE know you never committed these acts however, why must we be reminded of the horrific acts done in real life by someone who wants to sit around with nothing better to do than draw cartoons of a bunch of b.s. The simple fact that you had to share your mental thoughts on the whole matter and give me a visual pictures of someone who must be sick or suffering from something ill, tells me you get off like these sort of things. Expressing those kinds of thoughts of joking around is what gets people angry. The only difference between the filmmaker and you is...nothing.

Just a thought. I don't think Americans like swaping a chief in the middle of a war. Kind of handy and convenient I think, for the timing. The way our current one has acted, he didn't seem that surprised. Do I think he would do something like know and not act? Yes, yes I do. He may even keep the door unlocked. Cowards and traitors are so predictable.
