Do you like *my* new picture of Muhammed? :-]

@all

My bad - should have put "@metalman, nadoom" at the top of the posting.  The posting was in reference to the link posted by metalman as examples of 'satire,' and which 'cracked .. up' nadoom, not to the picture posted by iama.

Whaoh.

That's quite a rant, and I'm not 100% sure what you're on about, but I'll see if I can address a couple of points.

What's with the 'US culture' bit?

Apologies Iamaboringperson, whilst I personally found your post rather infantile and took no offense in it personally I can see that it would be offensive to some particaularly at the moment.

My post was actually referring to metalman's reply, or rather the website he linked to as being 'funny'

You call it racist and point out some anti-Jewish stuff, however I'm not exactly sure as to why a depiction of Muhammed is racist? Surely we can draw Muhammed?

What race is a Moslem?

What race is a jew?  Anti-semitism, Anti-islamism - same thing different decade.  Racism-Creedism - same thing different weak excuse.

I am duly corrected and rephrase - I refer to the link as 'cheap, dumb creedist crap' and 'Ohh, I forgot - it's ok to caricature moslems - that's not creedist bigotry. My mistake.'

Racism is more easily referred to and recognised.  Unfortunately creedism seems to be en vogue at the moment as a means of differentiating between the 'civilised benevolent good nice folks who use deodorant' (us) and the 'barbarian hordes who fire guns in the air and smell bad' (them).

Man, if we were to follow every rule about which religous characters we can't draw, then every time a person says that their purple dinosoar/big man in the sky/little grub with big hands/girl waving a flag can't be drawn, that's one less character that we may draw. Might as well ban drawing.

In the case of the purple dinosaur I'm all for that.  God I hate that thing...

I'm not a Muslem. And, as a non-Muslem, I'm not going to be pushed around as to what I may draw and what I may not.

Next week... big 'pee pee's' and breasts...

Not trying to - perhaps you may learn to show some wisdom and restraint though when choosing what to caricature?  Does a person in a dynamite factory defend his right to play with matches?

 SATIRE:   Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity;   used to convey insults or scorn;   A literary or artistic work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit.

There is no requirement that satire be funny, its a bonus when it is.

its to differentate between those who encourages violence while quoting religious verses, riot over cartoon satires, and kill apostates and those who understand in a free society you are tolerant, you don't resort to violence when your beliefs are ridiculed, and people are free to accept, reject or ridicule any religion (including $cientology).

Your argument becomes equivalent to:

Artists should show wisdom and restraint and only caricature icons of religions with civilised members.  Islam must not be caricatured, to avoid violence, because muslims pray in dynamite factories.
