Why So Inclusive?

The Stupidest Post Ever By Will Saletan

The Advice Goddess (Via Small Dead Animals)

Will Saletan convinces the rioters to relax (if they read Slate and are susceptible to, you know, reason).

The ridiculousness starts with the lead-in:

Dear Muslims, Christians, Hindus, and Jews,You’re living in the age of the Internet. Your religion will be mocked, and the mockery will find its way to you. Get over it.

If you don’t, what’s happening this week will happen again and again. A couple of idiots with a video camera and an Internet connection will trigger riots across the globe. They’ll bait you into killing one another.

Come on, why be “inclusive”?

I tease a Christian friend about believing in god. He teases me about not believing in god.

I mock the ridiculousness of circumcision with some regularity.

I have no fear that some Schlomo Glickstein and his mob of yeshiva students are going to drag me out of my house, rape me, and murder me for it.

    Well, by golly, it just wouldn’t be fair to only tell the ragheads not to be so sensitive!

    We’ve all heard of those Christian, Jewish, and Hindu mobs killing and burning cuz someone made some off hand comment?

    Oh, right, we haven’t.

    My point was, why do it now. Help Obysmal into his 2nd term and you won’t be hit by all those bombs, you will own them. The movies will go away too. And music, and porn, and women drivers, and gays.

    Come on muzzies, think bigger and help this n – - oh man, prezzy.

    Always glad to hear about a convert — like the one in the Sun News video, but his having written for the Kos and M.Moore, he should still be placed on probation for life. Maybe an ankle GPS locator too, just ’cause of the hair.

    Print the article and send it, along with Saletan’s address, to every ‘true’ Muslim you can find.

    This is BFH hijacking Texas Fred’s comment.
    Texas Fred had every right to tell me to go fuck myself.

    There was a situation earlier in the day that caused me to go phishing.
    I was casting my trawling net into the wrong water.

    Fred had nothing to do with what I thought he had something to do with.

    I know now Fred is not sneaky. If he wanted to do harm it wouldn’t be a mystery to me. I’d know.
    In fact, Fred has offered to be an ally with capturing our latest troll.

    That’s pretty stand up of him considering how I approached him earlier in the day.
    Carry on.
