So persecuted

Pictures like this do not work unless the ideological framework is already laid down. As near as I can tell, this is a picture of muslims praying somewhere next to a picture of denver qb tim tebow fretting over the latest stupid play he made. WHO SAYS WHAT ABOUT WHAT IS OKAY?

Self-righteous and selective outrage by "christians" in America is nothing new. I guess it is Bill Maher whose jackboots are on the necks of this persecuted minority. The "christians" who need to self-identify as somehow different from the rest of us who were baptised and went to Sunday school, etc. really know how to work themselves into a lather about whatever the outrage du jour their masters proclaim. These "christians" have to constantly remind everyone that they claim to be Christians because their actions and attitudes are about as far from what JC taught as you can get. Beyond this, I suppose they are a minority. They are completely insecure unless they have absolute control over everyone and everything around them, lack of control threatens their will-to-power and is therefore persecution. Not in the same way that Jews have been persecuted, but the way my 2 year old feels persecuted that daddy doesn't jump to it for her every trifling need.

The first picture came from the oxymoronically named "conservative patriots of america." This one comes from an article on Addicting Info that really helps unravel the silliness of the hyper-religious.


Especially since the first pic implies that muslims should have no freedom and tebow's version of "christianity" should be the standard by which others are judged, the "muslim test" helps frame the inconsistancy and contradictory nature of the American religious right. It does not reveal hypocrisy as the author contends though, the reality-based community get it and the zealots don't care. It is useful if you want to get yelled at and possibly lynched by glassy-eyed psychos though. Employing the muslim test does define what the fascist mind considers freedom though. "I" have the freedom to impose any standard I wish on others and they have the freedom to accept those standards or be attacked. In other words, the freedom to dominate.
