My God! Aren't you offended?! Okay, maybe not, but here's a link to a bunch of similar pictures, all portraying Mohammed in various ways. (Keep in mind that what I'm doing would deserve the death penalty in many Middle Eastern countries.) But I'm all about freedom of speech. Which we have in this country, for a short time, but which many other countries don't have, and they're very jealous of us. But before I get carried away too far, here's the link to the pictures:
Mohammed Pictures
Look at these pictures, my Muslim friend. They all show someone who is just a man. So what's the problem? Why are pictures of this man offensive to you? Oh, okay, you're saying this picture tempts you to worship the image of the man instead of the holy person himself? Well, can I ask you a very simple question? Why don't you just look away from the damned picture to begin with. When you see it and you have this strong desire to worship it, why can't you say, "I will look away and not worship this image"? I'll tell you why. Because you can't. You truly have no ability to find freedom from idolatry, and you use all the means at your disposal to keep this religious illusion going. You don't want truth and you don't want freedom. All you know is bondage and that's what you want for eveybody else. I see your adhereants driving trucks with the rest of us. You wear your turbans so proudly. But you forget something. You forget that your fellow Muslims are responsible for the deaths of thousands of people in this country. Yes, you get out of your truck and tighten the wrap of your turban to make yourself presentable. You wear the clean white shirts that most other drivers don't wear. And you feel like you're so much holier than the rest of us. But I have to tell you something, my Muslim friend. Your fellow Muslims have killed thousands of innocent Americans. If you really respect the rest of the people of this country, I think the least you could do would be to wear some kind of memorial- a black armband or something, to show your grief at what your fellow Muslims have done. But I have seen none of that, in the very least. You seem to mock us, even. You proclaim your rights to religious freedom in this country, even though the freedoms of your religion are the most abusive kind of tyranny that has ever existed. So wear your stupid turbans. You aren't fooling us. We truck drivers know the score. If you want to be part of us, you gotta show us you really are part of us. Be a part of our community and we will accept you. But try to shove your religious principals down our throats and you're in for one hell of a fight, mister. Believe me, we have a lot of fights out here, and you're just one more thing we want to get behind us. Please, my Muslim friend, take some responsibility for what your extremist buddies have done. If not, then publicly distance yourselves from them. Otherwise, you have sided with the extremists by default. And don't be surprised by the negative treatment that you receive...
