#3 Yawn. Anything *fun* offends Islam. Nothing to see here.

#4 How about a saudi flag on an American football? These are made of pigskin unless I am mistaken.

#8 Of course, the fact that said inscription cannot be read without the aid of an electron microscope does not in the least way assuage their anger. Yet another splendid example of just how badly these moron assholes ~~want~~ love to be offended.

Eggshell egos in a dirt track world. This shit has got to end.

Isn't there a way we could devise some truly offensive depiction of Allah and Mohammed in a compromising position that would incite these bastards to begin slicing open their own heads with swords in grief and rage? Maybe we could get them all to bleed themselves to death.

#9 I'll add, does anyone think these same fuckwits wouldn't have been equally offended if we had given out soccer balls without the Saudi flag on them? It isn't what we do or don't do that insults them. A Muslim's day simply isn't complete unless they have taken grievous offense at a totally innocuous gesture made by an Infidel somewhere on the face of this green earth.

#10 This reminds me of the time in the late 80's or early 90's when McDonald's printed up flags of many countries on the wrappers of one of their burgers. Of course they included the flag of Saudi Arabia. Muslims were upset because people were throwing the name of Allan in the trash.
My comment at the time was that Muslims needed to lighten up.

#11 Seriously, this incident was both predictable & avoidable.

#13 "A Muslim's day simply isn't complete unless they have taken grievous offense at a totally innocuous gesture made by an Infidel..."
Oh no, Zen, it doesn't have to be an Infidel. Another Muslim will do just fine. They're killing each other faster than the Infidels are killing them. Seething knows no bounds.

Please trust just how difficult this is for me, Darrell. But not so difficult that I cannot respond to you who has been such brat to me on previous occasions.

You've hit the nailhead and I am obliged to admit it. Everywhere, have I extolled Muslims for their unwonted proclivity in killing each other well above and beyond their own lust for Infidel blood. Indeed, "Seething knows no bounds." If it did, there might be hope for Islam's ultimate survival. Instead, there is ~~nought~~ not.

#15 I know that was difficult for you, but I respect you for it. Now, if you'll just give up that genocide ranting...

#16 What part of ~~asshole~~ "brat" do you not understand?
