That is so quaintly ignorant it is humorous Tom Send a noteboard - 30/07/2013 01:36:00 AM

I have no issue with the general irritation at Fox News, which does have a higher level of ignorance than CNN, which is itself hardly a beacon of wisdom. I do see the typical double standard that if a Christian tried to redefine Muhammad, people would be dead in Pakistan after riots and there would be attacks on Western embassies for our "blasphemy".

However, I find your statements amusingly ignorant. Most Muslims no next to nothing about Jesus and would never in a million years read the New Testament. The minute "information" about Jesus from the Quran is the skewed and incomprehensible garbage that results from translation through several languages and an original Quran with no vowels or even consonant pointing, such as God's response to Mary when she complains that no one will accept Jesus as a legitimate child: "I will put a rivulet under you". Well, thanks, God, that just solved everything, didn't it? The other ten or so quotes about Jesus display a similar level of incomprehensibility and/or ignorance. Some Sufi groups are more enlightened, but they are the exception, not the rule, and the crazies are targeting Sufis these days.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!
