stevenlmeyer,
You've previously indicated that you enjoy Islamic-based humour.
Here's a burqa fashion show you may enjoy:

HermanYutic,

Here's the thing.

I DON'T FIND THIS FUNNY.

I think it is in EXCREMENTALLY BAD TASTE.

Don't get me wrong. I will defend Bill Maher's right to put on this type of performance. To repeat what I've said many times.

In a TRULY free society ANY belief system, ideology or superstition is a LEGITIMATE target for critique, analysis, satire and scorn. This includes ALL religions.

I have made no secret of the fact that I consider Islam to be a combination of silly superstition and LOATHSOME totalitarian ideology on a par with Nazism and Stalinism.

At the same time I find gratuitous insults at harmless aspects of people's deeply held beliefs to be in bad taste. In a country like Australia the state does not force women to wear a burqa. If a woman CHOOSES to do so, so be it. It is none of my business and none of yours. I see no comedy in singling out such women for abuse. In fact I think it is in singularly bad taste.

Again, I want to make clear, I have no desire to censor anything I find in bad taste. I would fight to defend Maher's right to put on an unfunny show just as I defend David Irving's right to deny the Holocaust.

But I don’t have to encourage it either.

Kyoko, American citizens are not at war with Muslims, it is the US government (currently headed by Obama who was born a Muslim and is a practising Muslim during his childhood) who are helping some Islamic countries fight extremism.

In my opinion the US should leave (withdraw from) these Islamic countries alone. Let the Muslims in these Islamic countries kill each other.

However, when some Islamic countries get hold of nuclear bombs and declare war on the US, Israel, etc. The US should unleash their full nuclear capability on these countries and destroy them completely.

What makes the US a great country is the Judeo-Christian heritage that gave the US its constitution.

The Muslims on the other hand follow the teachings of Muhammad, a violent and mentally unsound man. Immediately after this self-styled prophet's death, bloodshed and violence erupted among his followers. http://www.islamfortoday.com/shia.htm

Stevenlmeyer is not the first person to see the similarity between Islam and Nazis. In 1939 the great psychologist, Carl Jung, wrote

'We do not know whether Hitler is going to found a new Islam. He is already on the way; he is like Mohammed. The emotion in Germany is Islamic; warlike and Islamic. They are all drunk with wild god. That can be the historic future'.

'They are all drunk with wild god' is still a good description of Islamics today as it was of Nazis in 1939.

>> This is tantamount to saying "I don’t know what I'm talking about but I know I'm right."
>> 'nuff said.

given it's a completely obtuse accusation, placed inside ridiculous quotes, i'd say it was way too much said. if you don't already realise yutic is cherrypicking, god knows what i could do to convince you.

>> It is not clear to me in what sense Muslims in Australia are underdogs.

yes, it seems it's not clear to you. but, at least your reading skills are improving.

>> American citizens are not at war with Muslims, it is the US government ...

i see, tang. so, the actions of a few should not be blamed on the whole?
so, the actions of a few muslims ...

The US kill too many muslims. You can spit venom, accuse them of this and that and go on a march without being called racist or bigoted. You can criticise freely. However I would like to know how many muslims have killed other muslims this past month. Seems the extremisT wins all over the world. Aided by Useful Idiots of course.
