Irony Maelstrom

-
Remember all the fuss over the dreaded cartoons of blasphemy?

It produced slogans and cries that anyone who insulted islam by calling it violent should be beheaded.

Then we had the British muslims saying that calling muslims terrorists would make all the moderate muslims turn into terrorists.

If it weren't so serious and critical to world peace, it would be hysterically funny. It is very much like a Monty Python skit. The only thing muslims are better at than anger and outrage is unintentional irony.

Now, the Pope is in trouble with the religion of peace.

Here's the deliciously ironic quote of the day from this article:

[[ "Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said. ]]

Oh, that one is a keeper!

I would like to start an "Irony Watch." Anyone who finds some good ones, please send them to me and I'll gather and post them.

Want a fun exercise? Go to Google or Yahoo news search and type in "muslim anger" or "muslim outrage" or "muslim offended" or something like that. What you will get is hundreds of articles on their seething and anger. In fact, just type in "muslim" and you will get the same thing.

Now, type in "Christian anger" or "Christian outrage" and you will get hundreds of articles on... muslim anger! But... if you just type in "Christian," you will not get any of that anger/outrage stuff. Well... in all fairness, there was one article involving revenge and warriors that came up on the "Christian" search: "Hamilton Christian (3-0) piled up 430 yards rushing as the Warriors got revenge for their first varsity loss in school history with a 48-7 rout of St. Mary on Thursday night at Cougar Stadium."

I'm just saying...
