#1 The seeming lack of a Muslim sense of humor probably will be their downfall.

#2 Actually the reverse may be true. If Islam allows humor, it allows freethinking and if it allows freethinking, it allows freedom of conscience and if it allows freedom of conscience, people can leave Islam without fear and if people can leave Islam without fear, the game is up.

#3 Hey, if that hooper dipshit from cair keeps spouting bizarre crap like this, they'll be completely marginalized. Well, except with the rest of the tinfoil hatters and crazies on the left. The more stuff like this they go after, the more paranoid and insane they look.

#4 In my opinion, Johnny Hart is *mildly* funny about one time in a thousand. When I saw the outhouse cartoon, I complained to my boyfriend about Hart taking up valuable real estate in the funny pages. Why is this funny? Outhouses stink? Who knew?!

I can't decide whether to believe it was indeed a coded slur: if it was, it was somewhat funny, and subtle, and I don't believe Hart is capable of either.

Maybe the Mossad drew the comic that day.

#5 IMHO, BC was VERY funny in its earlier days. Maybe Hart found religion and lost his sense of humor; maybe he's just run out of good material.

#6 CAIR and the elitist dipsticks that run it are showing that they can be just as racists and intolerant as their brothers in the middle east. IF that (funny but hardly anti-islam) cartoon had been in a paper in Cairo, Beruit, etc. they would be rioting in the streets. People they are just wrapped that frigin tight. They remind me of my 13-year-old (always moody and itching for a fight). Don't engage them and just ignore, they will grow up soon enough.

#7 Actually, the cartoon does seem anti-Islam. And it is pretty obvious. But so what?? If I had a penny for every time Jesus (or Christianity) was made fun of on TV nowadays....

#8 just ignore, they will grow up soon enough.
You'd think 1300 years would be enough, don't you?

#9 I'm sorry but Islam doesn't have a patent (or even trademark) on the crescent moon.

Along with the moons, CAIR's e-mail noted that Hart drew a sound effect â "SLAM" â between two frames to accompany the closing of the outhouse door. The SLAM, which was rendered vertically in the shape of an I, could be viewed as "Islam," CAIR said.

I suppose they don't consider Iman's screaming death to all Jews and Americans from the mosques to be raciest at all.

#10 Moons got legs?

#11 What's the saying ...don't hand someone a whip to beat you with ?? Something like that.

Except for Muslims, desperately searching for persecution under every rock, no one else would have gotten it (if they read it)or heard about it if they didn't. CAIR has just succesfully publicized this negative stereotype for us all to consider, even though it probably wasn't there in the first place.

They did themselves no favors, but they certainly did one for Hart. He's gotta be loving it....this IS a celebrity's dream negative-publicity-event.
