I don't know what right wingers have to do with it. Several days ago I got a friend at a silk screening shop printing some up for me and my pals. T-shirts that piss people off are funny, and when theres an underlying political fiasco in which the people throwing a fit are being babies and reinforcing their own stereotypes, then it makes it all the better.

As a political cartoon it was fine. As a t-shirt designed simply to annoy Muslims it is not.

Gawain: CONGRATS!!!!!!


As per the topic. I am torn. Yes I see the blatant capitalizing on offensive subjects. But I also see the point in giving the finger to anyone who denies us our right to free speech. Which reason did the company choose? Probably the first. But who cares.

You can put just about anything in a newspaper or on a tshirt in the world and western civilization will not burn cars, riot, and set buildings ablaze. Pictures of Jesus in the Tijuana Donkey Show or Moses coming down brokeback mountain with two schlong tablets. Nazi signs and whatever else.

EDIT: Just had a thought as I was re-reading this. Muhammed is just the Muslim Prophet. Jesus is the Christian God on earth. But I could have a tshirt with Jesus being buttslammed and nobody would riot. So what gives? What if Mohammy was the Muslim God? Would we have a tsunami of boomskis self igniting at every civilized street corner? I don't get it. Why the double standard?

Anything less that a full defense of our freedom of speech is appeasement. I'm amazed that anybody suggests we coddle the fundamentalists in any way. If we're craven now, how will we behave once they have nukes?

Why on earth should we allow Iran to tell us what we can print? The hypocrisy of the mullahs is breathtaking.
