William K. Wolfrum Chronicles

So, it appears that some folks (Ok, Muslims) in and around Europe are freaking out a bit due to a Danish newspaper printing a political cartoon featuring the Islamic diety Mohammad. Of course, by freaking out a bit, I mean threatened beheadings and kidnappings.

The Danish paper quickly cringingly apologized, but other European papers have jumped into the fray, delivering a huge middle finger to those who would try and murder freedom of expression.

This is great news for political cartoons, which for the past several decades have gotten little more attention than a nod and half-chuckle. Getting death threats and jihads is a massive upward move for a struggling art form.

All of this just makes me think one thing: If there really was a God, it would be seriously pissed right about now. Due to a sustained lack of existing, Mohammad, nor any other diety has commented on this fray.

Stop this nonsense or I swear
we’ll blow up Mohammad
