Timothy Ames, 28, and an ex-Marine is selling bobblehead Mohammed figurines.
And right on cue, the Religion of Perpetual Outrage is…well…outraged:
“No depiction of the prophet, even if it is positive, should be made ever - and certainly not one as ridiculous as the bobblehead Muhammed,” said Zvi Ben-Dor Benite, an assistant professor at New York University. “I don’t think it’s about freedom of speech. This is the freedom to insult, which he shouldn’t be doing.“
Actually, professor, it is about freedom of speech. Just because you wish the US was under Sharia law, doesn’t make it so. And we do have the freedom to insult here. Watch how easy it is: you’re a fucking retarded goat-fucker.
Another professor has a stern warning to those who would mock Mohammed:
Frank Peters, a professor in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies at NYU, warned that a bobblehead Muhammed was “a really bad idea.”
“Jews and Christians have gotten used to this kind of thing, but Muslims haven’t,” he said. “This may not be his intention, but these things have consequences.”
Yes. Mr. Peters. We are all very much aware of the consequences of mocking Mohammad. It usually shows itself in the form of rioting, church burnings, nun executions, and beheadings.
Until the Religion of Perpetual Outrage can learn how to act in a civilized manner anytime we make fun of their prophet, the best thing we can do is to step up our mockery and criticism of Islam and Mohammad — not stop out of fear of the “consequences”.
I just ordered mine tonight.
