An interesting Brussels Journal update on the Muslim-offending cartoons.
My favorite part was about Bjorn Atldax, a Swedish jeans designer. He hates Christianity a "force of evil" in the world, makes anti-Christian symbols on his jeans and also plans to make anti-Hindu jeans to protest the caste system.
Anti-Muslim jeans, though? Nooooo:
But he is not considering any anti-Islamic designs because “there are already a lot of anti-Islamic sentiments.”
I think this is the real reason he won't be making anti-Muslim jeans. Yeah, you can give organized religions a poke in the eye; but not the ones that most need a poke, 'cause they're the ones that poke back - and they use things that are far sharper than their fingers.
Of course, the leftist intelligentsia love to talk about how courageous they are for "standing up" to organized religion. But unless you stand up to the religions whose followers actually threaten to do you harm for doing so, the "courage" thing is mere posing.
That is all.
