Mumbai
The Mumbai attacks have Islamabad cautioning New Delhi not to “over-react”. This makes my blood turn cold.
India and Pakistan are both nuclear powers. India and Pakistan are disputing Kashmir. India and Pakistan have a history. India and Pakistan are both nuclear powers… And India and Pakistan only exist as separate countries because Hindus and Muslims believe different things about absolute nonsense.
More than a million people died in the religious killing of establishing the two states. Three wars have been fought and blood still flows freely and regularly on the border of two countries that are separated mostly by mythological bullshit.
Gujarat 2002 speaks to my fear and loathing. Sam Harris quotes C.W. Dugger: “Mothers were skewered on swords as their children watched. Young women were stripped and raped in broad daylight, then… set on fire. A pregnant woman’s belly was slit open, her fetus raised skyward on the tip of a sword and then tossed onto one of the fires that blazed across the city.”
The only difference between the peoples of India and Pakistan is the things they believe about… “God”.
We should be tolerant of religious belief?
People who believe that death – especially death in the execution of infidels – is the highest calling; people voted into office by the people of Gujarat, have access to nuclear arsenals.
We should be tolerant of religious belief?
Religion scares me shitless.
Are you okay with “Belief”?
Dumb and dumber
Catholicism is second only to Islam, and a close second it is, in supreme stupidity. Although… there’s Hinduism. And Scientology. And Mormonism. And Adventism. And… but I must get to the point.
Now this is particularly rich: There are moves to beatify Pius XII. And Benny Dick* is personally defending his dead buddy Eugenio.
Pius XII!? Are you shitting me?
No Catholic-born Nazi, not Goebbels, not Himmler, not Bormann – not even Adolf Hitler, who died with his name still on the rolls of the Catholic Church, and for whom the Catholic Primate (Primate – any placental mammal of the order Primates with good eyesight and flexible hands and feet) of Germany ordered the Requiem sung after his suicide – was ever excommunicated for being a Nazi.
Yet Eugenio Pacelli, the rogue who sat in the stool of Peter under the preposterous assumed name of Pius XII – pious, no less! – had not the slightest inhibitions after WWII, in 1949, about excommunicating all Communist members throughout the world with a single stroke of his stick dipped in Jewish blood; his pen.
The reason for this screaming inconsistency is platitudinously and embarrassingly obvious – the Communists were “atheists”; the Nazi’s, according to Herr Hitler “… acted in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator… I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord’s work.” (Mein Kampf, 46; Speech, Reichstag, 1936.)
Was it not the selfsame Eugenio that prevented the return of Jewish children, seperated from their parents by the Catholic Nazi Leaders, to their parents – so as to save the souls of the children?! Who did nothing whatsoever about the Nazi concentartion camps?
Beatify Eugenio!? Canonise him!? Purleaze! One can not even remember this scum bag with fondness if one worked at it.
Also in the news at this time is the execution by firing squad early on Sunday morning of three Islamists sentenced to death for the Bali bombings which killed 202 people. Yes, yes, of course they shouted “Allah Akhbar”. The cry of the dumb.
A family member expressed the hope that “… our brothers, God willing, be invited by green birds to heaven now”.
What!?
Fucking green birds!? What is fuck is this!?
It takes birds now to get martyrs into the lascivious company of 72 virgins? Green birds?
Religion. What a crock. Monty Python should no longer be writing news releases. Really. It is funny, of course. Hillarious even. And entertaining too! But someone somewhere may just take this nonsense for real. Is that possible?
* The title “Pope” is the most ludicrous assumption in the embarrassing history of religion. I, for one, do not acknowledge it and will not address the holder of the “Stool of Peter” – a most apposite description of this fabrication, this prevarication – as “Pope”. Benny Dick is the assumed name of the current defecator on the stool – Mr Ratzinger.
Vile Islam
Aisho Ibrahim Dhuhulow (stoned for having hetrosexual sex); Mahmoud Asgari and Ayaz Marhoni (hanged for having gay sex); dr Rauf Amin (sentenced to 1500 lashes for relieving pain); Theo van Gogh (stabbed for having an opinion); Perwez Kambakhsh (imprisoned for life for “blasphemy”)… and thousands of suicide bombing victims scream that “Organised Islam” can no longer be tolerated. And the fear that some “believer” may arrive on one’s doorstep with a gun or a knife dares not silence one!
Mo-teddy. Adorable!
BE SURE TO READ ISLAM
Innit adorable? To die for? To kill for?
Go ahead. Make my day.

Another editor grovels before believers
Last month, the Johannesburg-based Jamiatul Ulama complained about the Zapiro cartoon of Allah published in the Cape Times and The Star, describing it as “a distasteful affront to our religious beliefs”.
The group has now accepted an apology and the issue is now closed.
Editor of The Star and editorial director of Independent News and Media Moegsien Williams says he would have censored Zapiro’s “Story Character” cartoon had he seen it before publication.
Pathetic, Mr. Williams. Pathetic!
Do Independent News and Media editors yield to the gullible as a matter of course? Is the information in Independent News and Media newspapers subject to Bronze Age tarradiddles cloaked in Dark Age fear and mendacity? Am I to value stories and articles and comment and opinion in Independent News and Media newspapers when they are not able and willing to expose even myth for what it is? What is “Independent News and Media” – a guardian of the naive?
Is Allah now no longer incensed by the cartoon, now that an apology is accepted on behalf of Al-Quddoos (القدوس) – The Most Holy?
Is “Allah” now, subsequent to the apology, after all not on a par with Santa and the Tooth Fairy?
If an apology is required, it is to be delivered to my address: I believe, nay, know, beyond a velleity of doubt, that the gnome keeping in the South Eastern corner of my small garden created everything – everything! – some 15 minutes ago, complete with historical record and memory, before turning itself into a plaster likeness of His Once Greatness. You guys who do not accept this truth owe me an apology. Or the wrath of “Kabouter the Gnome” on you all!
“A distasteful affront to our religious beliefs”? Ag shame! How piteous can believers be?
Religion. Respect? Ridicule!
Gillian Gibbons
Sudan charged British teacher Gillian Gibbons with inciting religious hatred – a crime punishable by 40 lashes – because she allowed her students to name a teddy bear Muhammad as part of a class project.
I think that Gillian Gibbons acted without malice. Yet she is suffering the consequences of our tolerance with people who have collectively reified some ancient myth about a “god” and its “prophet” to the extend of clear and present danger.
For crying out load, it was her students – little Muslims – who named the toy! I guess Ms. Gibbons should not have allowed her students to name the teddy Mohammad. But for her own safety; not to merely avoid the unfounded wrath of the gullible. When among complete idio… when among believers, one should take meticulous care not to insult the non-existent.
“Kill her! Kill her by firing squad!”, chanted the mobs. Respect Islam? Respect religion? Yeah. Right.
I, for one, cannot and will not respect an idiotology (sic) that condemns a teacher for naming a teddy, nay, for allowing a teddy to be named – irrespective of the circumstances!
Certain “rights” cannot be respected. It is indeed a rocky road, this disrespect, but our world simply can no longer respect and protect idiotologies such as religion. Like we cannot respect drug and substance abuse, child molestation, crime…
What happened to Gillian Gibbons is no less abominable than what happened to Theo van Gogh.
