Like when that guy killed Theo van Gogh for detailing the abuses of muslim women. Or when the Pope cited a quote about rationalty of violence through religion in some speech and it happened to include Islam. It was an off handed quote, so some Islamist did what? That's right, killed some nuns. Cuz that'll prove what exactly? Suppression of ideals and art is wrong. Killing to intimidate those who express themselves is reeeeaaallly wrong. michael that’s a good thumbnail of the myopic view of some of their thinking.

I won't identify the poster, but I've had some convo with someone on CBR about this. And he is apparently a fundamental Islamist who shares similar ideas. For him it was abhorrent for how people made pictures about 'real' people and creatures. I asked him why he was on CBR, a comic book forum, he said that he read the comics only for their stories. I, of course, was baffled. He seriously believed that someone who drew pictures of things he considered inappropriate should be severly punished, irl. People like that baffle me. And yes, this person is living the U.S., having 'adopted' his new Islamic faith. sadly, it’s not just him.

The pen being mightier than the sword and all that. "...let your hearts be open to the freedom of our actions." Perhaps Bin-Laden sees himself like Jack Nicholson's Joker in Tim Burton's first Batman movie,...some sort of conceptual "homicidal" artist. Killing people may be his form of expression. Which, of course, would make George Bush Jr. the DaVinci of death at this point. RIGHT ON, Sister!!!!
