To hell with your "martyrdom."
Learn something.
The humiliation you suggest has a certain appeal: "The one thing Satan cannot stand is ridicule."
But when I calm my rage at yesterday's outrage in Paris, I think it is more important to maintain the good will which most Islamics feel toward The West, the same good will that poured forth in the aftermath of 9/11 - and still pours forth despite the gratuitous destruction wrought by Bush-Cheney's Whimsy War on Iraq, an exercise in dimwittedness that dwarfed the damage/death done at the World Trade Center.
93% Of Muslims Worldwide Condemn 9/11 Attacks.
O% Approve Of Attacks On Religious Grounds
Gallup Poll, 2008
"Bush's Toxic Legacy In Iraq"
Rather than mocking Mohammed (who is not the proper object of ridicule) I think we would be better-advised devising propaganda that states Christendom's unshakable conviction that The Prophet reserves a special place in Hell for the unclean assassins who shit on his memory by perpetrating random acts of bloodlust primarily on fellow Muslims.
Here is a sample "script."
"What are Christians to believe when we see Islamics slaughtering their co-religionists, and slaughtering them with the same uncontrollable passion that sexual perverts bring to the whorehouse?
The coldblooded killing that these barbarians work on their own spiritual kin persuades the Christian World that Mohammad would shun them just as surely as their un-gloved mothers would shun bleeding Ebola patients in their death throes.
The Prophet condemns their actions with the same intensity they direct to their Islamic fellows, killing them exuberantly like pigs fit only for slaughter.
Shame on them.
By aspiring to be "the smiting hand of Allah," they have deified themselves, and in the process fall lower than swine.
Addressing these thugs directly: "You are not The Right Hand of God. You are The Left Hand of Satan. In trying to defend The Prophet's honor, you shame him as surely as legions of pigs shitting in his mouth. You are The Horror you hope to eradicate from your own spiritual desolation by projecting your self-destructive nullity onto others."
Psychological Projection Indicts "The Good Christians," Not The People They Indict
It is you -- by choosing to behave like swine -- who squat naked upon Mohammed's face and shit in his eyes, shit in his nose, shit in his mouth.
The profoundest truths are paradoxical.

PS At the bottom of this missive I am appending an anti-Islamic screed to which I reply:
"Terror And The Other Religions"
"Bush's Toxic Legacy In Iraq"

Is it time to mock the prophet, to drop our pants and turn round mooning Mecca? Imagining a massive global gesture of disrespect...... Some gesture like the way we treat the umpire in a ball game when he makes a bad call.....because that's how we are.

Muslim Opinion Polls
A "Tiny Minority of Extremists"?
"Strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be
Have you heard that Islam is a peaceful religion because most Muslims live peacefully and that only a "tiny minority of extremists" practice violence? That's like saying that White supremacy must be perfectly fine since only a tiny minority of racists ever hurt anyone. Neither does it explain why religious violence is largely endemic to Islam, despite the tremendous persecution of religious minorities in Muslim countries.unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is their destination." Quran 9:73 (Alan: This Quranic verse was the precise teaching of Roman Catholicism until the Second Vatican Council in the early 1960s.) In truth, even a tiny minority of "1%" of Muslims worldwide translates to 15 million believers - which is hardly an insignificant number. However, the "minority" of Muslims who approve of terrorists, their goals, or their means of achieving them is much greater than this. In fact, it isn't even a true minority in some cases, depending on how goals and targets are defined. The following polls convey what Muslims say are their attitudes toward terrorism, al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, the 9/11 attacks, violence in defense of Islam, Sharia, honor killings, and matters concerning assimilation in Western society. The results are all the more astonishing because most of the polls were conducted by organizations with an obvious interest in "discovering" agreeable statistics that downplay any cause for concern. (These have been compiled over the years, so not all links remain active. We will continue adding to this).
