Christians Attacked Again (in America)

Picture this, if you will:

It's a late-night television show -- one where the FCC doesn't really mind what goes on. Maybe it airs at 11pm or later. Imagine it's a comedy show. Perhaps they do skits often for laughs. Now imagine for one skit, a fellow comes out on stage with a guitar and sings a song with these lyrics:

"I like you Allah, but that's as far as it goes. I know you like boys, but I don't want to be your toy.
Mohammed might like it from behind, but that's not me. I'll kill and murder for you, but let my rear be."

What do you suppose would happen? Do you think people would laugh? How many things would be burned the next day? How many "hate crime" violations would be filed? How much news time would be spent on "reaction" from "outraged" Muslims? How many people would be sent to re-education camps sensativity training?

Or how about if the skit was a little different:

Let's say the person was introduced as "a complete idiot" and then sang:

"I'm black, I'm black, I like it in the back. Whitey is supreme, us blacks should take it inbetween."

How fast do you think Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would make it to every single national stage and news report? How many millions do you think Jesse would demand for "reparations" against the network and studio? How many more "offended" people would be interviewed? How many opinion columns the next day would scream for government regulation and shut down of the network and show?

But what if the skit introduced "the idiot" and the lyrics went like this:

"Oh I love you Jesus, But only as a friend. You touched my heart but I hope that's where the touchin' ends.
You're always lookin' over me when I need a higher power. But you better look at somethin' else when I'm in the shower."

Well then, no one would care. There'd be no news reports. There'd be no opinions in the newspapers about it. There's be no lawsuits, arrests, or screaming offended victims on television. Why? Because it's okay to make fun of Christians, but it's not okay to make fun of anyone, or anything else.

How can I say this with assurance? Because that's exactly what happened on Late Night With Conan O'Brien. Did you hear about it? Did you read about any outrage? Did you see "civil rights" lawsuits filed? No. Did you hear any network or public figure condemn the skit, network, or studio? Not one.

Of course the difference also reflects which type of people actually are interested in "acceptance." The Muslims would, according to their holy book, have rioted in the streets and burned things. They would have killed people and tried to burn down the network. The blacks, through their spokesmen Jackson and Sharpton, would have screamed about oppression and demanded lots of money. They would not relent until the studio paid a hefty fine (to be used by Jackson and Sharpton) and until the network agreed to be racist and hire people based on the color of their skin instead of their abilities.

Christians, however, tend to follow their holy book. They tend to turn the other cheek. Their book tells them that they will be persecuted in Jesus' name. And instead of killing and destroying people, they simply pray for those who offend them. They know that those people will be dealt with by a power higher than themselves.

Now you tell me which group of people you'd rather have more of in America today.

1 That was actually televised? Appalling, though not unexpected. I've very few cheeks left to turn.

3 Yep The last group that is acceptable to hate is the White Christian heterosexual male.

Christians in general are acceptable targets of TV and Movies, no problem we can laugh at our selves too, But it won't be long until the laughter stops and a true American Jihad starts.

4 The Jihad in America could be sooner than you think, Robert. Then you really will see a sleeping giant awaken.

5 Yep ogre, and I plan to be right in the middle of it my friend.

I've about had it with the turning of the cheek philosophy...

6 I'll be right there with you, I assure you!

7 Perhaps the writer of the lyrics was referring to Cardinal above the Law who is hiding out in the Vatican after allowing alter boys to be...well...

8 Well I could be wrong, but I don't think there's any Cardinals named "Jesus..."
