This morning I heard about some public figure somewhere who plans to burn a copy of the Quran on 9/11. I wasn’t really interested in the free speech aspect of the idea. I wasn’t sympathetic to him, or opposed.
Then I got to thinking: instead of a blatantly defiant act, what would make a public statement under the guise of being thought provoking? That’s a good liberal tactic, distraction by arguing something other than the point at hand.
Suddenly, it hit me like a ton of bricks. If I were at all artistic and had a massive life insurance policy I would build a paper mache statue of a woman (preferably naked, and maybe two women) out of pages from the Quran. Who would dare be offended? After all, Christianity has had to suffer the crucifix in a jar of pee. Islam can take one for the team, it’s about time we all played by the same rules.
