#3 I am immensely proud of being a Sikh, and am confident that no jokes or cartoons can ever undermine the eternal verities of my religion.

One of the things that have struck me theses last years is how feeble actually is the muslim faith, if one must at all price forbid any criticism of it, any disrepectful comment, any joke on it, anything.
Not only do muslim have to fight for their god, for he has ennemies (who knew God had ennemies???), but it looks like their belief system may come crashing down at the slightest threat. Such sensitive skin!
Since faith is not interiorized, but rather manifested through obsessive ritualistic behavior, superstitions, public affirmation of submission to the collective credo,... I can only conclude they are very, very afraid of being "proven wrong".
The "proof" of islam is its "superiority" (to conquered people from other religion), I wonder how this "proof" stands the test of Reality(tm), since last time i looked, the islamic civilization is the big underachiever, with no prospect of getting any better, quite the contrary (farewell, oil money!)... unless they can conquer Europe soon, of course, and restart the parasitical process the arab Master Race (islam is a vehicle for arab colonialism, always has been) has enjoyed in the course of centuries.

#4 "One of the things that have struck me these last years is how feeble actually is the muslim faith..."

Heh. Any "god" who simply cannot endure disrespect or rejection by us mere mortals is hardly worthy of worship.

And any "god" who occupies his attention with such trivialities as which direction a person faces when he squats to take a shit (i.e., DO NOT face Mecca), or precisely what order various parts of the body are washed in at the end of each day, or any of the other senseless minutae Allah is allegedly so strict about, is not a "god" at all: he's a neurotic, obsessive-compulsive control freak.

Fragile, indeed.

#5 I think a lot of people have lost their respect for these drooling rioting fools. I refuse to tolerate their intolerance, as most all RBers refuse. It's time to spread that mem- do not bow before these idiots pretending to be thugs. Incidents here need to be front and center. Don't let the Dhimmis hide.

#6 Since it isn't insults to God that enrage these crew, but insults to Muhammad; can we figure out who is really their god? And if its who I think it is, then this certainly is a feeble faith. . .
Of course not all the Muslims are getting their underwear in a knot about the cartoons. I think there might be some room for a PR campaign offering a distinction between true Muslim and Muhhamadan.

#7 Once had a Morman friend whose I enjoyed talking about differences in our faiths with. Dennis Rodman, american basketball player and attention seeking dufus, made disparaging remarks about mormons. I asked my friend if he was offended and he said " When I was on my mission in Germany I was regularly pelted with stones while I rode my bike. Unless Rodman starts hitting me with rocks, there is not much he can do to shake my faith.
Pretty elegant answer I thought.

#8 There is an American Indian saying: 'it takes an entire village to raise a single child'.

Huh? I thought that was an African saying.

Any bets that in Africa it's credited to the Sikhs?

#9 Hillary copyrighted it and then took a tax deduction for the cost of the pen and ink.
