Cartoonist Carlos Latuff, apparently, is a notorious anti-Semite and his online mag the Middle East Monitor about as anti-Israel as you can get. Nevertheless, this one looks spot-on to me. Indeed, until Islam as a whole heeds Eqyptian president al-Sisi’s call for reform and works to stop these attacks its prophet and his adherents will continue to be perfect targets for satire and revenge.

Ever notice how when one of these hair-sprayed wonders (often with a huge belly you can’t see below the desk) goes off his meds on the air the rant is pure Leftist and frequently anti-Semitic.
No wonder CNN is dead last in the audience ratings.

I’m with JimCarr28, a commenter at Instapundit, who says Islamic State makes him nostalgic for napalm. Not to mention the Paris magazine attack and subsequent Jewish hostage-takings.
Because “people on fire tend to be too occupied to cause their neighbors much trouble.”
So much cheaper than multi-pound bombs, too, and oh, so much more effective on the target and its audience.
Indeed, why do we shelve our best weaponry, just when we really need it?

“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
—President Barack Obama, Sept. 25, 2012
So prescient, our man in the White House.
As Mark Steyn laments, what with the diminution of Christianity across Europe and the Middle East, you might think the pontiff would have other priorities.
“…the notion of a papal encyclical on climate change in order to ‘impact’ a UN conference is utterly depressing in its cobwebbed banality.
“And also kind of decadent at a time when some of the oldest Christian communities on earth are being systematically extinguished. That’s a real present-tense crisis, not one of those Al Gore if-we-don’t-act-now-time-is-running-out-to-save-the-polar-bears crisis. It’s happening now, now, now. Oughtn’t that to take priority for the Bishop of Rome? Is the Pope Catholic?
“Nor is the onslaught on Christians confined to the Holy Land and the rest of the Middle East. Today’s paper includes an account of the ransacking of a Italian church by a man uttering certain phrases in Arabic. He smashed the baptismal font, two altarpieces, a painting of the Assumption, statues of the Madonna with child, our Lady of the Sorrows, our Lady of the Rosary, and St Joseph. No doubt he was just another of the ‘mentally ill’. Maybe all these mentally ill Koran-quoters would be worth an encyclical.”
Or maybe not. Indeed, given their penchant for violence, make that probably not.

UPDATE: Indeed, they proved it, yet again, in Paris. Joke not about Mighty Mo, the bullets said, as the three black-suited, masked Islamists killed twelve.
MORE: Meanwhile, among the Lefties of The Atlantic, the concern is Taming Christian Rage. So in tune they are. No Islamaphobes among them. They wouldn’t dare.
Hey, it’s what college students and their professors do these days: scoping out white privilege. Especially the ones who got poor grades in science and math.
“It’s important to remember that ‘white’ doesn’t mean ‘white’ any more than The Patriarchy refers to biological males, of which there is no such thing. Whiteness, like Maleness is modified by ideology, party affiliation and above all their place in the Narrative. Spotting social oppressors requires knowledge acquired in courses like Gender or Racial studies the same way people needed special sunglasses to see the aliens among us in the movie They Live….
“…one of the dangers to reality being all in the mind is you can think you’ve been a good guy all your life and suddenly realize you’re Darth Vader. Like Franz Kafka’s narrator in Metamorphosis, you may wake up one day to find yourself transformed into a gigantic cockroach. It’s a shocking realization but one you should be open to.”
Because if you’re not willing to play the culprit, they don’t get to play the victim and all those gender, race and class professors would be out of work and that would be one more example of white privilege. See how it works?
