Tolerance is a One-Way Street

The latest controversy over the depiction of the Muslim prophet Mohamed is distressingly familiar. I'm not a big fan of South Park, but I do support their right to offend everyone, regardless of race, color, or creed. Apparently, however, not all Muslims are as tolerant. Neither are the grand pooh-bahs who rule the Comedy Central television network, which is South Park's home.

This reminds one of the furor over Mohamed cartoons in a Danish newspaper (cartoon link here), death threats to Salmon Rushdie for his portrayal of Mohamed in a novel, and the gruesome murder of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh as a result of a short film he made about Muslim forced marriages.

Evidently it's okay for the lame stream media to make bogus claims about abusive language used at Tea Party rallies, and for former democrap presidents to liken Tea Party members to domestic terrorists who bombed the federal office building in Oklahoma City. But they're strangely silent when it comes to Muslim intolerance. Why might that be?

Well, perhaps because osama-oops-I-mean-obama is quietly courting Muslims. Not sure why - they don't have much political clout. But the loser-in-chief has directed his lackeys to use "violent extremism" in place of "jihad" or "Islamic terrorism," and has directed DHS head Janet Napolitano to end a policy of extra screening for passengers from mostly Muslim countries flying to the U.S.

Makes sense. After all, those Norwegians are just as big a threat as the Muslims who crashed planes all over the east coast on 9/11. And God knows the Japanese have a bad habit of trying to blow up planes with their shoes. And let's not forget the English, who stuff their underwear with explosives.
