I absolutely agree. They are assholes. My only problem is the double standard by many on this forum - the ones who see nothing wrong with those assholes demeaning religious icons of one religion and engage in visceral condemnation of that religion themselves then criticize anyone who does anything that would upset the believers of another religion, Islam.
Ya, it's pretty stupid. However, it's like if you're in the middle of New York and you see someone run into the street and save a blind child from being run over by a bus. You're really impressed by this until you get a closer look and you see that the guy who saved the kid was Tom Brady. And you know ... fuck Tom Brady. You're a New Yorker and you
do not cheer for Tom Brady. There's a part of you that wanted the kid to die just so Tom Brady doesn't get any credit for having done something good. Because fuck that guy.
Now, you don't actually want blind children to get run over by buses but, at the same time, you are uncomfortable being in a position where you're applauding Tom Brady. You want to find a way to rationalize away offering any credit or support for what Tom Brady has done. Given that what Tom Brady did was to save a blind kid from getting run over by a bus, whatever it is that you come up with is going to end up being pretty fucking stupid. It will, however, leave you in a position where you're not supporting Tom Brady. Because fuck that guy. And then that asshole who intercepted the ball in the end zone during the Superbowl can go and fuck himself too.
Fucking Tom Brady
It's the same as managing to find a way to not support what these dumb-asses are doing.
