Does the Insult Never End?

We all know the lengths we are supposed to go to in order to avoid offending Islam. No mention must be made that, as Bill O'Reilly pointed out, Muslims killed us on 9-11! That would be insensitive!

After all, Muslims have a right to build a mosque at Ground Zero, but we mustn't allow an evil Wal-Mart in NYC! The largest provider of jobs in the world (and affordable merchandise) is oppressive and evil, not a religion that brutalizes women and calls for the death of every non-Muslim, Jews in particular.

Found here:

New York City is holding a “Walmart” hearing on December 14th to see whether or not they are “allowing” Walmart to build a store in New York City.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn joined a labor protest against the retailer last June, the Daily News reported.

“You know, it isn’t that we don’t want Walmart,” Quinn said at the rally, according to the News. “It’s that we don’t want companies that have led the nation in law suits being brought against them by workers. We don’t want companies that have the largest class-action in history brought against them. We don’t want companies where women are, over and over, paid less than men and not promoted. You can be very clear that I don’t want that.”

New York City is allowing the Ground Zero Victory Mega Mosque to be built on the grounds of “that it’s their RIGHT to build it” but they are refusing WalMart from building a WalMart store in New York City.

I wonder if they'd let me put this at Ground Zero, or anywhere else in NYC, for that matter:

OK, now, this is a rather roundabout way of getting the story I wish to post about. This dropped my jaw with the blatant gall, the unreal level of insult, that another blood-soaked member of the 'religion of peace' is levying against us:

LONDON, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Libyan leader Mommar Gadhafi says the family of released Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi plans to sue Britain, alleging false imprisonment.

Al-Megrahi was convicted in the 1988 bombing of a Pan American plane over Lockerbie, Scotland.

Gadhafi, speaking at a school in London, blamed former U.S. President Ronald Reagan and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher for the bombing, which killed 270 people.

Gadhafi said the bomber's family will file the lawsuit once al-Megrahi dies from prostate cancer, The Guardian reported.

Al-Megrahi was released from prison in August 2009 on compassionate grounds. Doctors said he had just a short time to live. His release was widely criticized.

"After he passes away his family will demand compensation because he was deliberately neglected in prison," Gadhafi said. "His health was not looked after in prison, and he didn't have any periodic examinations. I wish him a long life. He was released because he was considered dead, and yet he was still alive."

Gadhafi said Reagan and Thatcher conspired to blow up the plane.

Is there no place they won't go?!? Is there no insult too great?!?

An aside: A rare Muslim recipient of a farcical Nobel Peace Prize is in involved in a scandal... Muhammad Yunus, who got the NPP for aiding the poor of Bangladesh to get small loans diverted $100 million US dollars from international donors to his own corporations.


Also, Liam Neeson is stupid. Really, really stupid. I questioned his sanity after he accepted a role in those gawdawful Star Wars Prequels, but this confirms it:

Aslan, of course, is a symbol Christ.  It’s kind of hard to get around that.  Especially the death and resurrection thing in the first book.  This isn‘t stopping Neeson’s interpretation:

“Aslan symbolises a Christ-like figure but he also symbolises for me Mohammed, Buddha and all the great spiritual leaders and prophets over the centuries.

That’s who Aslan stands for as well as a mentor figure for kids – that’s what he means for me.”

This is not sitting well with Narnia fans and those who revere Lewis:

Walter Hooper, Lewis’s former secretary and a trustee of his estate, said that the author would have been angered by Neeson’s comments.

He said: “It is nothing whatever to do with Islam. Lewis would have simply denied that. He wrote that ‘the whole Narnian story is about Christ’. Lewis could not have been clearer.”

Mr Hooper attributed Neeson’s remarks to political correctness and a wish to be “very multi-cultural”.

And that’s saying it nicely.  Others are being a little more blunt:

William Oddie, a fomer editor of The Catholic Herald and a lifelong fan of the Chronicles of Narnia, accused Neeson of ‘a betrayal of Lewis’s intention and a shameful distortion’.

He said: ‘Aslan is clearly established from the very beginning of the whole cannon as being a Christ figure. I can’t believe that Liam Neeson is so stupid as not to know.’

Head/Desk. I don't know what else to say.
