Excerpts from “The List of Things that Offend Muslims.”

Sharia law demands submission not only from Muslims, but from non-Muslims as well. This makes respectful coexistence nearly impossible with Muslims in Infidel lands. The examples below serve as reminder that submitting to one complaint or another only emboldens Muslims to seek to further their ultimate goal of establishing sharia.

Pool halls and coffee shops, the Eiffel Tower, lip synching videos, Valentine’s Day, Christians who accidentally touch the Koran, Muslim converts to Christianity, use of the word Allah by Catholics, Christmas presents, the existence of Israel, the Danish cartoons, drawing Mohammad, the Buddy Christ, Disney’s Aladdin, the movie “True Lies,” ham sandwiches, piggy banks, The Three Little Pigs, Doritos, the breasts of female mannequins, breast feeding, a woman sitting with a man in Starbucks, women wearing makeup, guide dogs, Wikipedia, colored underwear, toilets facing Mecca, eating near Muslims during Ramadan, a teddy bear named Mohammad by schoolchildren.

Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s not all Muslims. But it’s a mistake to deny that these other Muslims — the intolerant extremists — exist.

“They,” whoever they are, seem to have little or no desire for peaceful coexistence with the rest of us.

It’s difficult to see how those of us who choose to live in the modern world, from moderate Muslims on out to the place my own infidel self exists, can live with them.

Don’t think I’m letting Christians (or other powerful religious groups) off the hook. Christians can be every bit as intolerant, and the number of TV shows, public art, public speech, private acts, even personal reproductive choices, which have been squashed by their insistent, insidious complaints is legion.

The difference, in most cases, is that Christians today don’t openly admit to believing they have the right to kill or disfigure people in order to terrify them into obeying.
