This little news item caught my eye:
Ohio car dealership blasted for jihad ad, Sun Sep 24, 5:51 AM ET
COLUMBUS, Ohio - A car dealership’s planned radio advertisement that declared “a jihad on the automotive market” has drawn sharp criticism for its content but will not be changed, the business said Saturday.
Several stations rejected the Dennis Mitsubishi spot, which says sales representatives wearing “burqas” — head-to-toe traditional dress for Islamic women — will sell vehicles that can “comfortably seat 12 jihadists in the back.”
“Our prices are lower than the evildoers’ every day. Just ask the pope!” the ad says. “Friday is fatwa Friday, with free rubber swords for the kiddies.” A fatwa is a religious edict...
...The Columbus chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations decried the ad as disrespectful.
“Using that as a promotional pitch when so many are dying from the criminal activity of suicide bombers, that’s not funny,” chapter president Asma Mobin-Uddin said. “I don’t think it’s appropriate when it causes real pain. It exploits or promotes misunderstanding in terms already misunderstood or misused.”
Hey, f*ckhead, LISTEN UP!
If guys are dying and suffering from being suicide bombers there’s an easy way to correct it. STOP BLOWING YOURSELVES THE F*CK UP!
Disrespectful Asma?
Well, considering I see and endless stream of images of my nation’s flag being burned and trounced on, I see effigies of my faith’s temporal leader being burned, I witness my faith’s houses of worship being torched and destroyed throughout the Islamic world and a litany of other instances of insensitivity and disregard for the beliefs and tenets I and others adhere to... well, you’ll just have to pardon me if I don’t share your dismay.
Yes, it’s righteous indignation by the very same people who burned down embassies over a bunch of cartoons.
