I am offended

By this desecration of the Cross

burn_nor2.jpg

This is an image of the Cross these people are burning. I am a Christian and my wife’s family is Norwegian. I am deeply offended and insulted. This is gross disrespect to my religion. And because it is my religion, everyone, everywhere has to respect any image that I declare “respectful.”

Norwegian PM Jens Stoltenberg said images of the Norwegian flag being burnt and the embassy in flames were also an insult to them.”I know there are lot of Muslims in Norway who also condemn it. Norwegian Muslims are also Norwegians and it is their flag and their embassy, and it is their flag and their embassy being burnt.”

But I assure you, I will not be torching the Syrian or Lebanese embassies tomorrow.

    The Commisar Is Offended…

    … because it is his religion, every one, every where regardless of their beliefs, should have to respect any image that he declares sacred and worthy of respect.

    Follow the flags…

    JT at Wizbang has an interesting thought about the cartoon riots. WELL, BOY HOWDY! Leave it to Everybody’s Favorite Commie to find the one circumstance in which American Liberals will tolerate cross-burning……….

    Knights of the White Cross…

    The Commissar thought he was being ironic. Did you know that the white cross on a red field is a symbol of particular import for the Crusades? This flag which has become the symbol of freedom of speech and conscience is not just the flag of Denmark. …..

    Fun and games with Professor LLamabutcher…

    This morning in Legal Theory and Public Policy, we were doing Lon Fuller’s The Morality of Law, and to illuminate Fuller’s distinction between morality of duty and morality of aspiration I used a series of Johnny Cash lyrics, which somehow……

    A Perfect Response…

    The Commissar offers the best comeback I’ve seen to the terroristic and hypocritical reaction of Isalmic extremists to cartoons they feel are an insult to Mohammed. He posts a photo of a burning Norwegian flag and offers the following response:…

    Why not?

    Let’s assume you won’t get arrested.

    What makes you think you owe the Syrians and Lebanese a standard of conduct that is higher than their own?

    Commissar:

    LOL! Dang, I’d be there for sure with Bible in hand, but it happens that I’m heading to Texas tomorrow on business. Dang! Maybe some other time.

    But, I was actually asking a serious question. I’d like to know why you think that your standards of civilized conduct are superior to those of Syrian Muslims, for example. After all, their civilization is far older than ours. What makes you think that you have a better concept of when it is appropriate to resort to violence? What is ‘righteous’ about your belief that it is wrong to burn the Lebanese emabassy?

    BTW, I doubt you are a smoker. So when we burn the Lebanese embassy, you can count on me for a Zippo just in case you forget.

    Have you got an extra gas can? Cuz, I need mine for the lawn mower.

    Something which just struck me is that representations of Allah and the prophets are forbidden to Muslims lest they resort to idolatry. It shouldn’t matter one bit to them–on purely religious grounds–if a non-believer produces drawings of them. After all, niether I, Stephen, or Michael the Thumper are using such drawings to fall into Muslim heresy.

    If this was obvious to many, I apologize for my tardy insight.

    Fanatics. Same as the rioters in the USA in the 60s. No one is standing up saying it is wrong. They do not respect others. They bomb innocent civilians, and do not condemn the actions, in fact they reward them with money.

    Sorry, I can’t make it. I got a text message that said we were all supposed to meet to burn Korans, and I’ll be there. ;)

    Dude, spend some time learning the past 50 years of English & Grammar. And maybe 30 seconds correcting spacing & typos in your rambling diatribe.

    Or, expect to be ignored; your call. But someone who has “studdied to tell me what its liek base don the relaity”, I’m generally less than impressed by the depth of his/her knowledge and studious nature; or in other words…

    so when you relaise this aswel and look at who really wrote themna and compaire there grammar you wills ee,, this si why nobody is sure you’ve studdied.
