I didn't know that there was a religious zealot behind the film - good to know.

It could be kind of 21st century crusades! Still fundamentalists are fighting over their religious dogmas.

Yes, Sayed, we see fundamentalists fighting over their dogmas. What an example of religion as a destabilizing force, each of them claiming to be all about peace of course.



... a small number of Coptic Christians, by no means representative of the full Coptic community, have made alliances with right-wing evangelical Christians and virulent Islamophobes in the U.S. This alliance is behind the film...





They hope that by destabilizing Egypt, Muslims will come off as crazy, violent people, and that U.S. relations with a government seen as hostile to Israel will be strained. Their mirror image—radical, right-wing Islamists in the Middle East--continues to stoke anti-American rage across the Middle East...


Inside the Islamophobic-Religious Right Alliance Whose Film Sparked...

I realize those behind the film were what I described in a another post as "trailer trash." However, to refer to my previous question, and in terms of intentional poking the Islamic faith in eye with a sharp stick, how is this piece of crap video any different than "Let's All Draw Mohammed" day that was popularized a year or so ago or, for that matter, Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders's film Fitna, which portrays Islam as a bloodthirsty, psychopathic cult?

Honestly, I'm not surprised.

Go insult something islamic and watch the fur fly, the fatwas get issued, the religiously righteous shout and beat their chests ... and watch people die.  It already has been alleged that the violence surrounding the film Innocence of Muslims may have been used as a cover for those who attacked the US embassy in Libya and killed Ambassador Chris Stevens.  Rather an interesting fillip, considering that said film was made by an American.

So when will the flip-side occur?  When will some islamic filmmaker attempt to create something so obscene and over-the-top that it inspires hard-core christians to take action against muslims and further justify their jihad against the people of "The Great Satan"?!?

To Both Sides: don't look now, but You're Being PLAYED!!!  Maybe you haven't noticed, but there are those out there who want you showing the absolute worst of your religion, so that they can justify their own agendas.  Do you like this?  Do you like being used as pawns in a game you're not even aware of?  Do you even CARE???

Hell, are you even listening?  Honestly, I'm dubious.

Great summary of religion, Sayed!

From Atheist Meme Base:

'Your BULL-SHIT is more BULL-SHIT than my BULL-SHIT', a priest and an imam say to each other -- Christianity vs. Islam debate


The various holy scriptures tend to include both statements like "1+1=2!" and ones like "2+2=3!" Perhaps we should also add "3+3=3!" (true with the factorial).

It's analogous to the list of "commandments" from "Kissing Hank's Ass", which includes

2. Use alcohol in moderation.
6. The moon is made of green cheese.
7. Everything Hank says is right.
8. Wash your hands after going to the bathroom.
9. Don't use alcohol.
10. Eat your wieners on buns, no condiments.

Sometimes there's an official religion.

One year in prison! It could be due to the pressure of Muslims' undemocratic protests.
