100% agreed. I saw this in the paper this morning. WTF at "warning Matt and Trey." That's pretty much like saying this death threat shit is "normal."

It really is making it sound like the weather forecast is a bit iffy.

"Just so you know guys, there's a 70% chance of insane fucking religious extremists, so you might want to bring along a nice warm Kevlar jacket."

NO. This stuff should not be dealt with by warning people. It should be dealt with stopping that kind of insanity.

If they survived the scientologists they can survive the radical Muslims!

I don't anticipate they'll be harmed. This is still really stupid, however.

There've been a shitload of attempts on the life of that cartoonist, some of which have come way too fuckin' close to succeeding. I hope Parker and Stone's houses have really, really good security, as that's the only thing that's repeatedly saved the cartoonist's ass.

Oh, waah. South Park makes fun of everyone. What makes Islam so fucking special?

There's a fundamental difference between two key world-views going on, and it's gonna hit the Full Metal Jacket fan one of these days.

Some people think it's "Islam vs. Christian (or Judaeo-Christian)", some think it's "East vs. West", but it's not that simple, because there are people in any of those groups that fall on one side or the other.

The two world-views are:
  1. People who believe that individual human rights are paramount, and that two of the (if not THE) most important are freedom of expression and freedom of belief. These are people like whoever really said* "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." These are people who don't see a need to have the Ten Commandments or a crêche on government property, or who are willing to see them beside menorahs and what-have-you. These are people who are comfortable with themselves, their thoughts, and their beliefs; comfortable enough to be able to listen to differing views and beliefs and not feel threatened. As well, they tend to use reason ( ... )
