The "Funky Mohammed Jibes Rile Arabs" Thursday linkaround and rant fest

Here's the thing. I was going to sit out "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day". @Nadz convinced me that "live and let live" was the right approach to the Moslems, at least in America. His last comment to my rant against the Ground Zero mosque made sense.

We need to respect these nice people's right to assemble on private land -- even in Manhattan -- to do whatever absurd things they do to worship their particular old bearded guy in the sky and recite whatever incoherent dogma their God tells them to recite.

But then Facebook went and took down the fan page for Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.

Not cool. Not cool at all. See, when I agreed to "live and let live", they sorta had to agree to the same terms. And that includes putting up with people who want to mock them. After all, when that Mapplethorpe shithead put a Crucifix in a bottle of urine I didn't threaten to kill anybody.

And thus I have to reassess my solicitude to @Nadz sentiments. The Moslems aren't just doing "whatever absurd things things they do" in a vacuum. No siree. They're plotting and scheming and planning to force me into doing those things too. And that "incoherent dogma"? It sounds a lot like a declaration of war against the United States and the freedoms we enjoy.

You know, I've seen some weird religious shit. Baptists and Pentecostals eat live chickens. Scientology is stupidity on steroids. But none of those guys threaten violence, let alone kill the folks who mock them. There is no Christian word for "jihad".

So @Nadz, I hate to disappoint you old sport, but the Mohammedans need to be taught a lesson. Everyone Draw Mohammed Day seems like a good way to get that process started.

Alas, my Photoshop skillz are non-existent. So here are some friends in the ether who have embraced Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.

TrogloPundit drew a blank. Literally. But dude, white? Mo is a dark side kinda guy, dontcha think? I'd have picked black for my blank. Like the black hole of stupidity which seems to surround his followers.

Carol's Closet created a fitting image, and listed a few of her friends who joined in the fun.

Mind Numbed Robot set the wayback machine for saner times and found a treasure trove of Mohammed art. And then he fired up his Wacom Intuos2 6W8 Graphics Tablet (USB).

Fausta is keeping track of all the faux-Mo imagery. 93,000 and counting.

Tigerhawk created a Mohammed emoticon. It just might be the first ascii art to receive a death threat.

Fishersville Mike says his illustrative skillz are on a par with mine, but that didn't stop him from linking to some worthier efforts.

Theo Spark is hoping nobody gets killed. Me too!

D.R. Berry says "It's May 20th, Do You Know Where Your Freedom of Speech Is?" Um, Barry filed it under "lost"?

Before we get started on the rest of this week's linkage let me remind you guys that the Daily Chris Christie Fact is always posted to my Tumblr blog. Today's entry:

Chris Christie is not your "bro", but if you keep talking about raising taxes he will tase your sorry ass.

My main man Bobby Bel joined in my distaste for the elites of Princeton, NJ and their sanctuary city stupidity. But wouldn't you know, there is at least one sane city government in America. And it's in California! The City of Costa Mesa passed a resolution declaring their town a "rule of law city". Illegal aliens, go home! Will LA and Seattle boycott them too?

Gator Doug pondered some of the insanity surrounding AZ 1070 and concluded that his head just might explode.

Mary Sue hopes that a house will fall on the wicked witch of the west come November.

Via Pundette we learn that when it comes to porn on the iPhone, there's no app for that.

Donald Douglas is all over the Rand Paul / Rachel Madcow brouhaha. When the going gets tough, the lefties cry racism. Stacy McCain explains the conservative roots of Paul's federalist convictions. And Clifton sees the usual liberal double standard at work.

Classic Liberal adds his typically insightful analysis and concludes that Rand Paul is telling the truth.

Russ sees Anna Little as the Rand Paul of New Jersey.

Pat in Shreveport is celebrating beer week.

When Carol is at a loss for words she makes a video. And her videos are worth ten thousand words.

Doug Ross has no self control. He. Just. Could. Not. Resist. And thus we are treated to this — Exclusive Photo: Dick Blumenthal Receives Coveted John Kerry Endorsement and Gets to Wear His Magic Cambodian Special Ops Hat.

Professor Jacobson reveals the story behind the Olympic Cyclops mascots.

Bride of Rove recaps yesterday's state dinner honoring the Mexican president.

Fighting Elena Kagan's nomination is crucial to reversing Obamacare.

Matt wonders if there will be any doctors left before Obamacare is repealed.

Maggie left the farm and went fishing.

Steve reports on the idiocy of Michigan raising gas taxes to pass out ever increasing windmill subsidies.

Wealth redistribution does not work. The Keynesian meltdown in Greece is merely the latest example as to why.

Nuke the oil spill. It's not nearly as crazy an idea as it sounds.

So here we are at the end of another weekly linkaround. Last week I said I'd call out a few A-list bloggers who might find it in their hearts to share the linky love with me. So much for that idea. 0 for 3. Not even a nibble on the trackbacks I sent. If I had feelings I guess I'd be crushed.

When it comes to rejection I've had lots of experience. Tons, actually. I can take it. Really.
