in response to reader comment: Dueling Fatwas

Submitted by the Grand Infidel of Kaffiristan (Australia), Oct 6, 2010 at 02:51

Mr Curmally , from Pakistan , writes:

" Perhaps we are not as tolerant as we used to be at a point in time. "

Yes, perhaps not.

" Besides there are a lot of subjects other than religion that you can exploit or make fun of."

That is true, the bizarre customs of many Islamic lands is something else we could focus on. But then you'd be missing the whole point of people's reactions to islam's fanciful assertion of superiority etc. If you look a little deeper - what non-muslims are doing is holding up a mirror - and saying -' this is what you believe - these are the effects of your beliefs.''

If muslims don't like what they see it's their problem
