There you go, Googs. Up there is Mohammad's head. Below is the head of Herve Cordara, severed by a follower of Mo, and used to decorate a fence in Lyon. Nice!
The upsets of the last couple of days came after President Obama had his Iftar Dinner, marking the close of Ramadan at the White House, at which the prez made the following pertinent remarks:
The Quran teaches that God’s children should tread gently upon the earth and, when confronted by ignorance, reply “peace.”
I think some of God's children, or the prez, must needs take a remedial reading course in the Quran. That's what I think must needs.
Yes, we are, all one family. It's a beautiful thing, family, with all those familiar values, peace and charity and forgiveness and hate, it's a beautiful thing, says I.
True, that. We all come together, Catholics, Presbyterians, Jews, Sunni Muslims, Shiite Muslims, the whole nine yards, we come together and massage each other's prostates and just have...one big collective orgasm spewing our bodily essence of peace and charity and forgiveness all over each other. It's a messy affair these Iftar dinners.
I do! I worship the Confederates who fought for the preservation of slavery just as I worship Sgt. Nathan Bracken who was killed at Fredericksburg trying to exterminate slavery. The important thing is that we not hate slavery or slaveholders or the Ku Klux Klan or lynchings or Jim Crow. The important thing is that each side did their duty and could have switched sides and done their duty without regard to who they were killing with and who they were killing. The important thing is to kill, to kill those who did their duty and believed just as strongly in the Divine Right of slaveholding as those who believed slavery was Original Sin. There is no qualitative difference between a sincerely, firmly held belief in slavery and lynching and an equal belief that slavery and lynching were a curse on America.
I think that's right. I know two Muslim lawyers personally, I think they are honorable people, they are friends. It's ignorance that keeps us apart, that is all it is.
We saw this play out recently at a mosque in Arizona. A group of protesters gathered outside with offensive signs against Islam and Muslims. And then the mosque’s leaders invited them inside to share in the evening prayer. One demonstrator, who accepted the invitation later, described how the experience changed him; how he finally saw the Muslim American community for what it is --
peaceful and welcoming. That’s what can happen when we stop yelling and start listening.

That is truly a beautiful story, very inspirational, but there were some details that the prez elided over in relating that inspirational story. The mosque in Arizona has been under constant FBI surveillance for no good reason, for the only reason that the two Sons of Mo who made the mistook of attacking the Garland Texas "Draw Mohammad" contest, and who were sent to meet the 47 virgins by a crack-shot off duty police officer, those ardent students of the Quran's teachings of peace and charity and forgiveness and how to construct pressure cooker bombs, acquired their reading comprehension skills of the Quran from this self-same Muslim holy tabernacle. The prez elided over that inconvenient truth.
I have stood four-square, you can look it up, for verbal provocation of Islam. We should lure the snakes out of their holes, to borrow from Mao Zedong, lure them to free-speech "Draw Mohammad" events all over the country, every day of the week. We should be locked and loaded and when we see someone who is what he is, a Muslim murderer, and looks like who he is, a Muslim murderer, and he worships Mohammad and he is armed, we should kill him preemptively as soon as we see the blacks of his eyes. I am for the kind of verbal provocation that we saw in Garland and we need more such verbal provocations and we should kill all Muslims who come to our verbal provocations. Draw the snakes out of their holes, Maoie said, and then cut off their heads. That is what America should do.
America won't.
