Al-Munajid Responds to Media About Killing Mickey Mouse

MEMRI is to impartial translation what the Canadian Coalition for Democracy is to…democracy.

Please feel free to call me a Jew hater or whatever other slimy things you can think up.

Cheers!

And, this dude’s not the Islamic equivalent of the Phelps family, but of the more general fundamental folks who object to Harry Potter and Halloween.

Certainly, all news sources cherry-pick their stories. Remember the inflammatory story about the Muhammed cartoon from Denmark a coupla years ago? They chose to run a trivial story about a cartoon in a little-known rag in a distant country to incite Muslims all around the world. Sounds like there’s cherry-picking no matter who the source is.

And why didn’t this guy condemn Sneaker-Ganesh?

How surprising.

But the Arabic world doeas seem to fal over itself to supply the world with stories of their idiocy and intolerance.

And to say that the Westboro Baptists don’t represent Xians, is to be deliberately disingenuous.

For none of the Phelps family are anything else than knuckle dragging religious zealots from the very fringes of society, like Anne Coulter with out the stylist if you will, while Sheikh Muhammad Munajid is a senior cleric and former DIPLOMAT TO WASHINTON CD.

Sure the MEMRi are spinning this cr*p for all they’re worht but there is a lot of crazy sh*t to pick from there and a lot of it emanates from very high up the food chain.

To which I say: Okay, from a Judeo/Christian/Muslim religious standpoint, then. Who has the power to create life? God. Does Satan have this creative power? Nope. Ergo, snakes (and mice, too) are all God’s creatures, according to the dictates of their own adopted religion.

And if they go on about how snakes and mice might be demons in disguise — then why do they generally avoid us? Looks to me like mice simply enjoy the same foods we eat. (So do pigs, which in a land where resources are scarce may have given rise to the kosher/halal laws proscribing pork.)

If there is a mouse problem in your house, folks, try not to leave crumbs lying around. A little box of D-Con will take care of the stubborn ones. There’s no need to issue a fatwah here.

More information on Islam for those interested.

Evil Pundit: What’s wrong with you, really? You only seem to show up when there’s hatred to be spread. I’d tell you that you’re a terrible human being, but I’m afraid you’d take it as a compliment.

Imagine the furor here from our esteemed regulars if extreme examples were justifiable in painting others with a broad brush. Is the westborough church indicative of christianity and other religious ‘nuts’ in America? Were guys like Hal Turner representative of the conservative/republican movement?

Seems like if it’s Islam it’s absolutely A.O.K. for many out there to stereotype and generalize.

Such hypocrisy.

I’m so tired of all of these articles celebrating the fact that Muslims are somehow not with it. There’s all kinds of crazy people out there, not just Muslims…

It looks like their campaign has some sympathizers here on this thread! Notice how they lash out at me for suggesting that perhaps the 1.4 billion Muslims in the world aren’t all medieval savages.

“The truth hurts, eh, Adam?” - you mean the version of the “truth” that says that implies that Muslims are stupid, petty and mean? Yes, Evil Pundit - I do find that particular variety of “truth” to be quite hurtful.

Finally, as for you, Stephanie: Shame on you for implying that I’m an anti-Semite because I’ve pointed out the negative bias of the organization responsible for this particular set of “news.”

Rest assured, Stephanie - if a known clearinghouse for anti-Jew, anti-Israel or anti-Zionist propaganda ends up being responsible for a story that gets play here or elsewhere, I’ll be sure to point that out as well.

It’s not a silly idea; Mickey Mouse is a dangerous cultural icon. Just like Harry Potter.
