This is ridiculous

And what I mean by that is, it's worthy of ridicule. The hoo-ha over drawings of Mohammed. Honestly. Grow up. The BBC ran pictures of the pictures on TV. The Muslim Council of Britian said, well, we might be insulted, but "it depends."

'The Muslim Council of Britain said its reaction to the BBC's decision to broadcast would "depend on the context".

A spokesman said: "It depends on whether they're broadcast to illustrate the story about the row developing, or, in the same way as the European newspapers have published, to gloat about freedom.'

I mean honestly, no gloating over freedom, people. What you enjoy it? Ha! Well we will bomb you then.

Mohammed Image Bomb

I've heard some people say, gee, shouldn't we as Christians respect their religious laws and be nice and all Christiany-feel-good? Isn't hurting people's feeling non-Christian? Um, guy, their religious laws include chopping the hands off of thieves and beheading raped women for "adultery." Their laws include allowing the murder of someone who leaves the religion. And there's lots of others like that. So, no, I don't think it is our Christian duty to respect that. Nor is there anywhere I see in the New Testament where Jesus was more concerned about not hurting people's feelings than He was about telling them the truth.

And another thing, if you ever catch me writing a sentence with the word "prophet" within four or more words of the word "Mohammed," please let me know so I can chop off the offending digits. :) I believe -- but I'm not looking it up -- that the Bible says something along the lines of "test a prophet. If what he says is false, he is not a prophet." Anyway, even if it doesn't say that, I think it's a pretty good litmus test.

Now, what does that have to do with my aversion to putting the word anywhere near Mohammed's name? Simple. Mohammed's little book denies the divinity of Jesus. Hence, it's false. Thusly and wheretofor, Mohammed ain't no prophet. (There's an exception to the "four word" rule when a negative appears between the two words.)
