#1 In light of how much terrorism is caused by the Religion of Peace [spit], it's pretty hard to insult Islam any worse than it insults itself. Turkey really needs to ~~fight or fuck~~ fish or cut bait. Either they're a modern secular nation with a glimmer of hope to join the EU or they're just another backwater Neanderthal Islamic shithole ~~that we need to bomb~~. Time for Turkey to decide so we can act accordingly.

#2 Every smattering of abuse and publicity that these Christians get probably results in a bunch of Muslims making discreet inquiries as to how they can convert.

It reminds them of how sucky their religion is.

#3 At the same time, folks, these stories should make it very clear to us: there are a lot of people in Turkey who are hell-bent on making that country an Islamic state. Ataturk, the military, and the many people today who want Turkey to remain a westernized, secular state are in big trouble.

And so are we.

#4 In a breathtaking bit of Orwellian doublethink, insulting Islam has come to mean saying true things about Islam. This is forbidden to non-Muslims.
