Warning! This post (like everything else you read) has been slightly self-censored, and presents a milder, less confronting version of my true views, in order to prevent me from being killed or jailed for my beliefs.
I don’t believe in free speech. What you say has major consequences. The most major is the fact that the whole planet is now on the verge of destruction due to Global Warming. In the face of such a dire emergency, any sane person would be calling for global warming deniers to be jailed. Unfortunately sane people are rare these days.
But I do strongly believe in the absolute right to mock religion mercilessly. No, let me rephrase that. I believe in the duty to mock religion. It’s not hard to see what the price of not criticising religion is. Every single country where religion goes unmocked has turned into a hell-hole, as incompetent leaders abuse their absolute power to deceive their followers.
And I strongly believe in not forcing Islamic law onto everyone.
Some on the “left” think that criticising Islam is just US war propaganda and will lead to the deaths of millions by encouraging a war on Iran. The problem with that theory is that the real war propaganda is about “Weapons of Mass Destruction”. Those same “left” people wholeheartedly embrace the paranoia about WMDs, because they hate all things nuclear, even though attempts to stop WMDs (eg. in Iraq) have killed far more than all of history’s nuclear bombs and accidents put together.
So, in that spirit, I salute South Park for wonderfully satirising and attempting to portray the Islamic prophet Mohammed. And I condemn the Islamists and dhimmis for the bans and death-threats against those who portray Mohammed.
Here is a very short clip of Mohammed from South Park. Watch it (and embed it) now while you can, before it gets deleted:
