The Non-Homosexual-Insulting West

The latest brilliant observation from al-Zawahri:

Al-Qaida’s No. 2 leader Ayman al-Zawahri criticized the West for its insult to Islam’s prophet, complaining in a video broadcast Sunday on Al-Jazeera that the Prophet Mohammed and Jesus “are not sacred anymore.”

Referring to the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that have been printed in a number of European newspapers, al-Zawahri said: “They did it on purpose and they continue to do it without apologizing, even though no one dares to harm Jews or to challenge Jewish claims about the Holocaust nor even to insult homosexuals.”

You know, he’s got a point - if only the papers of the West had the courage to harm Jews and insult homosexuals - what a paradise we would live in!

This sort of ignorance would be funny if it weren’t in such deadly earnest…I don’t usually root for the death of even our enemies, figuring it’s a bit tasteless - but in this case…let’s just say my Kleenex supply would remain intact…
