Pompous Trash.

I don't know the man in the picture or whether he is particularly pompous.
But he looks it.

I would not have published the cartoon if it wasn't for the fact that it was reported on Channel 4 television last night.

The had a semi-literate 'advisor' on Muslim 'affairs', a Dr. Something-or-Other(a doctor no less! Aren't they always?)
He was asked "Do you feel offended by the cartoons?"
Like this would be news?
Obviously, he said he was, and went on to describe his feelings of outrage.

Like who could give a toss?
Some barbaric ape in a Western suit peers through his Western spectacles on Western television, in the Western country where he squats (because dues are usually paid and they don't have to be money), and tells us what we are all doing wrong and why we should be afraid.

I mean, I'm all growed up now, so save it for the youngsters you abuse in your murder-training camps.

Italy is a 'Catholic' country, but they took it upon themselves to annihilate the Catholic Inquisition militarily a hundred and fifty years ago.
In 1848 they had newspapers and still the Roman Church kidnapped Jewish children and brainwashed them to Catholicism.

If Europe (especially with Napoleon)could divest religious superstition of corporeal power, then it is about time (but certainly not too late) that the 'Muslim' world did the same.
