Or He Is Busy



From the West Australian comes this, "Perth academic Samina Yasmeen said religious and community leaders should stop speaking about Islamic icons to avoid causing offence."

Well, Samina, that just isn't going to happen. Those of us who have become accustomed to free will and speech will continue to discuss, satirize and make fun of anything and everything including whatever you or I may hold sacred. Personally, my God doesn't need me to defend Him, quite the contrary, it is up to Him to defend me. I rely upon Him to do it. It must truly be humiliating to worship a god so weak you have to murder innocents to give it credibility.

These Islamomaniacs remind me of the prophets of Baal who came up against Elijah. Their god never answered even though they cried out and cut themselves until blood gushed out of them (sound familiar?). Elijah mocked them and their god saying, "either he is meditating, or he is busy,"(literally relieving himself) "or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and needs to be awakened."

Perhaps one or all of these scenarios fits your god, Samina, since he seems unable to come to his own defense.
