The extremists DO hate puppies...

When people get all in a huff, I tell 'em a story about an incident that happened to a friend of mine, in my presence, a few years ago.

We were in downtown Dallas for one of those street fairs (I can't remember which one, it was around summertime though)
Some punks are harassing a muslim looking woman, she was wearing jeans, shirt, and one of those headscarf things.

My friend (who usually feels emboldened in public cuz he knows I carry, but that's a DIFFERENT rant altogether) basically goes up to the punks and yells at them for harassing the poor woman.

This womans' husband comes out of the woodwork afterwards, and..
...smacks my friend across the face for "being familliar" with his wife, speaking to her not in his presence.

I would have demonstrated my cultural sensitivity by pepper spraying him, and then hitting him with a shoe.

See #4 and add "puppies"

BTW this is humor, no fatwah (sp?) required.

...and then hitting him with a shoe.

You are indeed an infidel Manedwolf, and will surely roast in Hell, where I will buy you a cool drink to toast our fellows yet to join us.

This is kind of related, so I'm bumping the thread...

They really DO need a non-emergency line!

It's a PICTURE of a dog.

And it looks like it had a bath right before the photo shoot.  It's clean.

Talk about making a mountain out of a mole-hill.

It's a PICTURE of something some people consider filthy.  To them it is not a mole hill, it is an insult.

I still don't see how that would make it an insult.

Surely to be an insult it would have to be somehow target at them. 

Besides, as has been mentioned (and as seems to be the case in some many instances of this kind), it was one person taking it on himself to find offence where no-one else would see any, and then the authorities falling over themselves to accomodate him.
