Well finally we get to see Muslim fanatics for the idiots they really are. We all remember the Dutch cartoons that people got ALL upset about. The riots, the death threats, etc. Most everyone thought it died down. But one artist, Lars Vilks, is giving Muslim fanatics a big "screw you" and says he'll still draw these cartoons.
"That's a way of expressing things. If you don't like it, don't look at it. And if you look at it, don't take it too seriously. No harm done, really," he says.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
When it's suggested that might prove an arrogant -- if not insulting -- way to engage Muslims, he is unrelenting, even defiant.
Good! It's about time he called these idiots with signs that say "behead those who insult Islam" to the carpet. No one wants to tell them they are acting like idiots or arrest them for rioting.
"No one actually loves the truth, but someone has to say it," he says.
Vilks, a self-described atheist, points out he's an equal opportunity offender who in the past sketched a depiction of Jesus as a pedophile.
Wait, where are all the Christians in an uproar? Where are the Christians who riot and give out death threats? Oh yeah, Christians, for the most part, don't really care. What about the Jews? Buddhists? These religions get insulted all the time, and even by Muslim groups. It seems they can give it, but they can't take it. And if that's the case, then you really can't complain when your religion gets insulted.
