Prophets and Losses

Article by
Cartoonist

Okay now. Enough is enough. I am addressing all the Muslims out there. Well, maybe not ALL the Muslims, perhaps just the really naughty and incorrigible Muslims. Yeah. You know who you are. Those of you that have the belief that you can make a change for good through violence.


Those of you who believe that blood has to run in the streets of every infidel city on the planet now, because a cartoonist has had the temerity to depict your prophet … wait a minute; I'd better not say his name… I know, let’s call him “Melvin”, just for the sake of argument. Well some ill-advised cartoonist has depicted “Melvin” in a supposedly unfavorable light. Heaven forbid! How dare he do such a thing? Does he not fear the wrath of tens of millions of indignant, vengeful Muslims? Had he not heard of the fatwa issued against Salman Rushdie? Perhaps he is foolish enough to believe that his life is not now threatened?

Here is a possibility: Maybe he IS aware of all of this. Maybe he just doesn’t give a hoot. Maybe he is, like me, fed up to the eyeteeth of you backward thinking lunatics and your schoolyard bully mentality. Maybe he is, like me, sick to death (yes, it probably will end that way) of all you people complaining about this and condemning that and blowing up or burning down the other. Have any of you geniuses ever thought of that? Oh that’s right, I almost forgot. Not many of you lot are big on the thinking thing.

Well maybe it’s time you started using the old noggin for more than plotting mayhem and carnage. Maybe you people should realize (think real hard now) that there is a whole planet out there, full of people still not quite ready to shut their brains off and surrender to your particular brand of stupidity just yet. People who think (yes actually think) differently than you do. People who do not see every little gesture of individuality and creativity as a threat to their personal way of life. This planet is full of different people, and it is their RIGHT to express themselves artistically and verbally and musically however they see fit. Here is another newsflash for you imbeciles: If you don’t like it, then don’t look at it. Take a little time to let that one sink in, okay, because I know this is difficult right now. It was a cartoon. Simple lines on paper. You people have got to lighten up because if you keep this up, that is, killing everyone you believe has offended you, pretty soon you’re going to run out of people to kill.

And then you will all truly be at a loss, won’t you?

I've been a waiter, a hatblocker, a stevedore, construction worker, matador and worked my way through college selling magazines (such as GENT, SWANK, MAYFAIR , HIGHTIMES and SOLDIER OF FORTUNE).

I am of the firm conviction that the concept of Political Correctness will be the undoing of mankind. It is by its' very nature an exercise in futility. You simply cannot please all of the people all of the time, and more to the point, why on earth would anyone want to?



GOD IS DEAD. HE IS NO MORE. HE IS KAPUT.
There is no such thing as church law, sharia law or any other religious law. The law of the land, Government law, or International law applies. Religious entities simply do not have the legal power or authority to create or apply laws.
