If you're wondering about commissions, I dont do those anymore except at conventions. I'll be at Further Confusion, Furry Weekend Atlanta, Anime Boston, Anthrocon, Mephit Furmeet, Furfright, Midwest Fur Fest, and the cycle begins anew with the next year. Just understand that if you dont make the queue whilst at the cons, I cant fit you in for online work. I make a point of not bringing my work home from cons, as busy as I already am. :p
On the 'holy rage' of the Sand People...posted Feb 11th 2006, 9:22AM
Mood: About to EXPLODE!
Music: Wasting My Hate
I've been quiet about this bullshit that seems to have enthralled the Islamic world... But I'm stunned that things have gone on this long and have reached this level of devastation. I could'nt find any of the actual cartoons published in Danish papers that seemingly triggered this whole thing (and I'd appreciate it if anyone could fling me a link to any site that actually has it posted), but I'd gladly post it here, naturally giving credit to the artist and newspaper brave enough to speak their mind. If anything, they've inadvertently shown the world how heinous these overzealous cretins who populate the world can be.
I also consider it immensely pathetic that the governments of these countries where the rioting, burning, and killing is going on are'nt doing a FUCKING THING to keep their people from doing this. All it shows is that these leaders are more interested in distracting their own people from the problems they neglect to face in their own countries. And whats more, now these militant Islamists are blaming America for something that we did'nt even have a hand in! Yes, it has reached THAT level of absurdity! As said by hardline cleric Hojatoleslam Ahmad Khatami, "Denmark is a non-entity. It is America that rears such cronies as Denmark." Look here for the article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/europeislammediairan;_ylt=At7SW1Mk.dWxX4Bbaix_XNnlWMcF;_ylu=X3oDMTA5bGVna3NhBHNlYwNzc3JlbA--
And for those of you who might think that this newspaper that published the cartoons being fought over was at fault? Freedom of the press is what allows us as a people to acknowledge other cultures for both their positive aspects and negative ones. Its the ability of a people to not only understand and report on a culture, but occasionally to poke fun at it. INCLUDING express its views on how an entire culture is being represented through the actions of a minority more dangerous to the world than even the conflict between Soviet Russia and the United states was. Islam is not the problem, no. There are Moderate Muslims in the west who value freedom of speech for what it is and might even laugh at this at the same time they regret the actions of those who misrepresent their faith through violence. The problem at hand is an entire people who take their faith so seriously that they're willing to censure, destroy, and even kill for it. I consider these pissants to be a global cancer on the same level as I hate fundamentalist Christians, rabid orthodox Jews, and any other extremist group bent on imposing their will through zeal, force, and irrational intolerant behavior.
And dont come bitching to me about being sensitive to these people's religious views or 'tolerance' for their ways and culture. I DO NOT tolerate anyone who demands it from others and grants none in return! These people hate the west so frothingly much that they consider anyone not Muslim dhimmi (inferior) in almost the same way Hitler considered anyone not German or Austrian. And a great number of them mean so almost EXACTLY as Hitler did: Take a look at what Palestinian children are being taught in their schools. The hate chants, the songs against Israel and its supporters, how willingly their boys and girls no older than 6 are willing to kill Jews and Americans wherever they'd encounter them. They actually have 2-week SUMMER CAMPS to teach children how to assault a settlement and cut people's throats, clean and fire AK-47's, and fight the Great Satan they consider the western world! Take a look at all of that and tell me you'd still like to be tolerant of these hate-mongers. The world would be better off without them.
And as a final note, I give you this. As I'd said, i could'nt find any of the actual Danish cartoons to post, but I did find this little tidbit of similar drama: http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/4208.
Interesting gallery that you've got here. I dunno if you're still here on sheezy, but whenever you get around, you should definitely check out some of the clubs here.
