I got another maniacal anti-Muslim rant in my inbox, and managed to refrain from flaming out the relatives. SO, my question is, how best to overcome the non-sense? I need help: this should be humorous, insightful, concise, non-confrontational, etc., to be persuasive. And yet, all I want to do is scream at the bigotry. So....
Please take a look and then test out your best responses!
Rant below the fold...
Muslim outrage huh ?
OK! ... let's do a little historical review. Just some lowlights:
Muslims fly commercial airliners into buildings in New York City,
killing thousands. No Muslim outrage.
Muslim officials block the exit where school girls are trying to escape
a burning building because their faces were exposed. No Muslim outrage.
Muslims cut off the heads of three teenaged girls on their way to
school in Indonesia. A Christian school. No Muslim outrage.

in Egypt. No Muslim outrage.

Let's go way back. Muslims kidnap and kill athletes at the Munich
Summer Olympics. No Muslim outrage.

Dead children. Dead tourists. Dead teachers. Dead doctors and nurses.
Death, destruction and mayhem around the world at the hands of
Muslims...no Muslim outrage...
but publish a cartoon depicting Mohammed with a
bomb in his turban and all hell breaks loose.
The angry response: 'I thought we were past such stone-age bigotry..."
The sarcastic response: 'Wow, now I understand why all Muslims need to be killed at once. We should send this to al-Jazeera so they'll understand they should all commit suicide or convert.'
A better response?
'Yeah! Where's the outrage?
But I don't want anyone calling me a hypocrite.
So let me just apologize now for the lack of Christian outrage when a bunch of Christians were waging the Holocaust.
We can deduce the ten iron-clad rules of Muslim conduct from these events.
1. All Muslims are identical in belief and behavior.
etc.
