This is true too. It goes back to "them" always sporting for a fight, never
"us".

Good try, Lawrence, but no cigar. As American Westerners, you and I have
beheaded 30,000+ innocent Muslims in Iraq and 6,000 to 10,000 in Afghanistan.
The blood of innocents drips from our hands. Don't feel so magnanimous in your
new-found liberalism.

Being Western rather than Muslim, Mike, I have no need to behead you.

I like very much and have great respect for Judy Evans and David Savory, but I
insist on my right to be offensive.
I agree with much that they argue, but I agree more that I have the right as an
individual human being to speak my mind whether it offends others or not. Or
even to speak my mind hoping to offend others. I know of no right not to be
offended. This rightwing, militaristic, devil-take-the-hindmost, coin-op
culture offends me from dawn to dusk. I accept that and go about my business.
Every word out of George Bush's mouth is an offensive insult to any intelligent
human being. And I promise you, if this war against the Muslims being waged by
Bush were not ongoing, none of this cartoon business would be happening. Not
one Muslim would be in the streets were we not in Iraq. So this too can be
laid at the foot of our beloved Security Hero George "Stasi" Bush.
