The List of Things That Offend Muslims

This list is a work in progress. I welcome suggestions. Anyone who has more items to add to the list, post them in the comments.

The intent of the list is to illustrate the futility of the multicultural approach to Islam. Sharia law demands submission not only from Muslims, but from non-Muslims as well. This makes respectful coexistence nearly impossible with Muslims in Infidel lands. The examples below serve as reminder that submitting to one complaint or another only emboldens Muslims to seek to further their ultimate goal of establishing sharia.

The West needs to come to grips with this fact and start standing up for our God-given rights of free speech, free expression and freedom of religion, lest we surrender those rights to a theocratic movement bent on removing our Constitutional freedoms that we hold dear. In this case, our tolerance will lead to intolerance.

Update: It has been mentioned to me enough times in comments here and elsewhere that I should state that not every item on the List applies to every Muslim. Just as if you read a headline that states "Muslims Protest Mohammad Cartoons", it means that most of the protesters are Muslims, not that all Muslims protested. I hope this clears things up.

Kevin, this is a great idea and the links you provide are very pertinent examples of your last paragraph. It cannot be said enough. Thanks for a great post.

Let's not forget the things that DO NOT offend Muslims:

Terror, homicide bombing, killing of innocents, stoning, hanging, institutionalized sexism, 9-11... The list goes on and on.

Thanks everybody, I'm going to save this post in the sidebar as a database that I will periodicly update. Like I said, all help is welcome, the more specific examples the better.

[Always On Watch]

Kevin,
Superior work on your part! I'm saving the link to this posting as a reference guide.

Thank you for doing all this work!

[kevin]

Thanks AOW, if you come across something to add to the list, please let me know here in the comments or by email.

[JasonP]

The list of things that offend decent people:

1. Nazism
2. Communism
3. Islam

[drk]

people who teach girls so they can become real women

[kevin]

drk,
Do you mean teachers and schools who've been persecuted for including girls?

If you have a post on this subject, send me the link and I'll add it to the list.

[Grant Jones]

Under the catagory for movies don't forget to add "300."

[Roland Durandel]

Just a suggestion Kev, but I'd place Dalai Lama under Buddhism rather than Hindus (not that it changes the substance of it). ;-)

[Debbie]

Good idea, but you're right. This is a work in progress because each day there is something else to add to the list. And the list of what does NOT offend Muslims is very small.

[Allen]

Great post.

Mind if I link to it.

[Layla]

Sorry I am late to this. Thank you for the linkage and this is a great post!

[velvethammer]

How's about this one?

muslim's are offended by a depiction of flames.

Nike recalls disputed logo Company apologizes to offended Muslims
http://www.enquirer.com/editions/1997/06/25/bus_nike.html

They are freakin' flames for crying out loud. Just like the Burger King ice cream deal, they are not at all alike. Not that I think it should matter. But they aren't!

BTW I have linked to this page, under the islamic category (True Enlightenment) on my sidebar. It is a fantastic idea, to keep a running log of their b.s. and the dhimmi's that play along.

[kevin]

Thanks VH, I'll add your suggestion to the list.

[Brad Marston]

I am not sure. I went through the list a few times.

I think you missed...SOAP.

[velvethammer]

lol Brad

Hiya Kevin

I just came across this via Infidel Bloggers Alliance, 20 Things You Should Know About Islam (Link on sidebar)

Saudi ban on female doll imports.
December 18, 2003
http://www.guardian.co.uk/saudi/story/0,11599,1109291,00.html
Saudi Arabia has banned imports of female dolls and teddy bears, and shopkeepers have been given three months to dispose of any stock.

And according to this report, it is just not Valentines day they are offended by. They hate any color associated with it.
Red items banned
Feb 13, 2005
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6964340/
Ribbons, boots, jackets, bags and pen holders with a hint, stripe or pattern in red, burgundy and hot pink were thrown into a heap, and the school called the girls’ mothers to pick up the offensive items, the supervisor said.

Unbelieveable!

[kevin]

Thanks again VH, I added the Doll story in the women category.

[velvethamer]

You are welcome.

Believe me, I am more than happy to help. ;)

Kevin

This may be one to add to your list. Shrug..

Have a Coke and a smile
http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/002735.php

Abu Ream, a shop owner in Baghdad, repeated a widespread conspiracy theory: "If you hold up a Coke can to the mirror, the writing says 'No Allah'," Mr Ream said. "Or maybe 'No Mohammad'. I can't remember which."...

Mr. Ream, it's "La Muhammad, la Makka," which of course means "No Muhammad, no Mecca." Amazing how a drink launched in the late nineteenth century in the American South could bear such a message. Those Zionists are everywhere!

How do they have time for anything else?

[Godefroi]

This is hilarious.

How about The Three Little Pigs?

Not my post...I remembered reading it at Dhimmi Watch.

[kevin]

VH, added the Coke story in the Food section, thanks again!
