Some over-zealous misogynistic mullah in Iran had to
hide Ansari's head hair with a photoshopped space helmet --
can't be inflaming them passions of chaste Moslem men!

....Actually, I think it's a more simple case of the fact that she just
ain't that damn attractive, Jim. What I saw of her on NASA TV the
other day wasn't too impressive, to say the least.

Now THAT'S funny!

But to be fair, it's no different than the Christians trying to bleep
all the "foul" language or sex scenes out of the movies. Or all the
books they're trying to ban.

One evil repressive religion is not much different from any other.


Funny, I don't recall Christians rioting and threatening death to the
infidels when whosit dunked the crucifix in ****, or that guy painted
a picture of the virgin with elephant dung.

Insult Christianity, and the Christians just shake their heads.
Insult Islam, and get death threats. No, no difference at all.

What I really find amusing is the current furor about what the Pope
said. Now there's the immovable object meeting the irresistible force.


I think that by their actions, they made his point quite eloquently.

I recall protests about such stuff being done with taxpayer funds,
but I watched the controversy pretty closely and, like Rand, never
noticed any ritoing or death threats. Herb, are you delusional, or
do you have news links to back up your assertion? Or some other possibility?

Then I'm sure you'll provide an example. To be comparable, it would
have to be by the millions, in the streets, encouraged by the clergy,
not just a few nutjobs.

have you looked into history .. ?

like - things going on shortly before, during or after the 30 years
war perhaps?

government repression of other (=differing from the one the government
believes in) christian believes?

"Cuius regio, eius religio" was a generaly accepted policy statement ...

progroms of protestant or orthodox or catholic or jewish minorites,
aided and abeted by authorities as a social "safety valve"?

The Iranian web site the blog points to has lots of pictures showing
her hair.

We're not talking about history. Christianity had its Reformation
hundreds of years ago. Islam still awaits its. That was one of the
points of the Pope's speech.
