#2 I think we need to see a chain of
MO.HAM.HEAD'S BBQ shops it's logo could be a cartoon pig named the Koranimal.

Think that's covered by free speech?

And yes, I do find Islam and many of the actions of Muslims to be offensive.

#3 Can't be a hate crime since it is protected free speech--call it artistic expression.

#4 Hate crime, no. Deliberately offensive and provocative, yes.

But I feel offended and provoked every time some towel-head-banger starts spouting off that Islam will dominate the world and Islam can't be insulted.

#5 The only thing I hate about this is that it's a helluva waste of perfectly good bacon.

#6 Just toss it in a bucket of pee with a crucifix and it's all good.

#9 Mebbe it was "Turkey Bacon"? What are the Islamic theological ramifications of that?
