Another Hate Crime in Lewiston, Maine
Lewiston, Maine has been overrun by Muslim colonists from Somalia. Last spring, this resulted in an appalling hate crime in the form of a piece of ham. Now there's been another incident. Someone put up a lost dog poster that appears, unconscionably, to be a lighthearted joke at the expense of a certain bloodthirsty pedophile brigand from the Dark Ages:
The poster depicts a vicious "lost" dog named Mohammed. That's the name of the Muslim prophet. It says that the dog is not good with children and can't be trusted.
How hurtful. Rabbi Hillel Katzir of the Temple Shalom in nearby Auburn dutifully intones:
Attacking or making fun of any religion is the same as attacking and making fun of all religions. If we don't stop it here, who's next?
Actually, poking fun Islam is a little different, considering that a terrorist war is being waged against us in its name. Another difference is that only Islam is regarded as beyond criticism — a direct result of the moonbat response to 9/11.
Police are actually investigating the joke poster. First Amendment be damned, someone could end up in jail over it. What do they think this is, Great Britain?
So as not to get arrested for a thought hate crime, you need to know what constitutes an offense. Can you guess which one is a hate crime?
The answer of course is E. The rest are celebrations of our freedom of expression. If you got it wrong, here's an easier test. Which one is a hate crime?
If you didn't pick the one on the right, maybe you'd better just keep quiet if you want to stay out of trouble.

The existence of hate crimes is itself an outrage. Christianity, Judiasm, Hinduism, you name the religion and mocking it is not only OK, it's encouraged. All except for Islam. Since they are angry at us, we must be careful to not hurt their feelings. I swear!

Aren't you the same guy who was offended that atheists put up posters near some church in connecticut or someplace?
Aren't you the same guy that complained that atheisits weren't "allowing" you to enjoy your ritualistic pagan holiday called Christmas?
Why do you get to complain, but no one else? If you actually read the story, which I don't think you ever truly do, you'd see that the store owner felt insulted and uncomfortable with the fictious "lost dog" poster". What,he's not allowed to say anything about it? Sounds a hell of a lot like what you said with regard to the atheist poster in front of the church.
Now , I know that you go into some tirade about the muslims killing people over this or something. Let's be clear: no one is threatening anyone with violence with regard to this story. In fact, it appears that the Rabbi is the most offended of the bunch.
The poster was clearly put up to intimidate and insult the Somali shop owners. There was no lost dog. OK? I don't blame them for feeling at least a little threatned. You have no reason to believe that these Somalis are not law abiding, hard working citizens who are just trying to survive. They have every right to bring this story to the attention of the media.
Believe me, if you woke up with a sign outside your house that said: "Whitey does not play well with others and is not to be trusted" you'd all be on the phone to your local media outlets ASAP whining your little mouths off. On top of that you'd all be sitting on guard all night, shotgun in hand, hoping to take a pot shot at the guy who put up the sign.

If YOU were the guy who put the sign up, you're damned right I'd like a pot shot at you! LOL!

Oh man you guys just get better and better. Let's persecute an entire religion because of some nutcases that are abusing their power to brainwash ignorant people. Better yet, let's not help these poor people that blow themselves up for lies, lets go fight a war against "insurgents" in the middle of a civil war. Yes that seems much better.

Compare
The koran
Those who make war with Allah and his messenger will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. That is how they will be treated in this world, and in the next they will have an awful doom. 5:33
The bible
2 Chronicles 36:16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
36:17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.
What's the difference again? Other than modern day Muslims act upon this crap and the Christians don't?
