The Ayatollah Khamenei

What could possibly be more innocuous and endearing than an innocent cartoon of a pruditan cleric of any old religious faith (Jewish, Christian, Muslim, you name it) getting urinated on by a hot lady? Obviously: The same scene for real. But some people can't cope with freedom of expression and murder people who draw and publish harmless cartoons which they call "blasphemous" (What Omnipotent Deity could be so petty as to be offended by a mere mortal mocking Him (Her, Other)?). What's wrong with them?

But I'd bet a not insignificant sum of money that one cleric who would take it in good humor and bless the cartoonist and ourselfves who enjoy it as sinners like himself is Pope Francis. He's one cool papal cat. Of course he wants women to be fruitful and multiply and definitely not to have abortions, but you can't have everything in this world. He would never want harm to befall decent folk who just enjoy being "sacriligeous". Even the Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) himself said that people like this cartoonist, whome he considered to be ignorant, should be taught by example of th faithful leading virtuous lives, and if rational argument still didn't work, to just walk away from them as being hopelessly benighted, not to do them harm.

One pious woman The New York Times interviewed, said that her God did not care if you believed in Him or not, but that He was very much concerned if you helped your fellow mortals or hurt them. I can also imagine some pious nuns, like the ones who felt Andreas Serrano's "Piss Christ" was entirely respectful of their God having the same reaction here: Cricisizing people who are sanctimonious and self-righteous, not humble and righteous. Consider America's current President, Mr. Joe Biden, who mouthe for God to bless America and to protect "our" troops, not all persons and all troops, and keeps pouring massive military welfare into the Zelensky regime in Kiev to slaughter ever more even of his own fellow Ukrainians who don't like his regime persecuting them, each new day. He does not deserve a hot lady to urinate on him.

And, of course, while Ayatollahs in Iran issue fatwas for the murder of persons who insult either the Prophet(PBUH) or themselves(PBUH?), political correctnessers here in USA who do not yet have that level of political power cancel anybody who is "insensivtive" to their prejudices and powsy-wowsies. I had the displeasure to encounter one of these insensitive "people" a couple years ago: (here).

Unfortunate for themself, the person who lacks one; unfortunate for others, the person that is one. Don't be an a**hole!
