Had to compose my thoughts and my breath and write this very carefully since I'm on dubs....It just never fails to amaze and infuriate me how a drawing of their prophet is more of a crime them more than boko Haram killing two thousand innocent and defenseless villagers. It's hard for me not to feel an ascending hatred for that double standard in regards to their "ummah"
I never used to support isreal because I grew up watching the South African struggle against Apartheid.
And while i still don't support the lies and landtheft and the foreign political meddling of the Israeli leadership, I can at least understand the existential paranoia they have against a culture whose value system is derived from a death-loving ethic. Better to have to tolerate Amelek-fearing land-pirates than blood-drunk gibbering Moon Demon cultists.
Mention anything about it and you get: "Why should all muslims be held responsible for the actions of a few?"
Draw a cartoon: "This is an insult to all muslims."
But every time an innocent gets displaced, murdered, kidnapped, raped, tortured, and terrorized while the name of their Eshu Moon Demon is joyously invoked. They don't see it as an equal insult to all Life Loving Rational Humans Everywhere. They just shrug, chortle amongst themselves or make excuses.
If I wasn't raised well enough to know better, and didn't know decent people who practise that indecent faith, I'd be doing something about the cold black feeling of evil intent that pulses inside me every time I read about muslims protesting and bitching about feeling disrespected.
I'm just glad I'm sober these days.
