We’re entering an era so at odds with itself, Godwin’s Law has been turned on its ear. Now, as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison to Nazis or Hitler approaching 1 has been changed to a probability of 1 that the online discussion is compared to Israel or Jews.
Three al qaeda terrorists kill the staff of a magazine in cold blood, and someone thinks it’s an Israeli psyop? This could be brushed off as the ramblings of a loon, but lately, it seems to be happening more and more often.
At least there are people out there like ERvIN who are able to use humor to point out the absurdity of comments such as offered by omgamuslim (who for all we know may be an Islamist troll on some organization’s payroll — given the amount of Israel/Jew bashing of late in social media, there could be an army of keyboard jihadists out there for all I know).
Lest we fail to keep the situation in perspective, remember: Islam is a religion of peace, Islam is a religion of peace, Islam is a religion of peace….
Al Jazeera is far more likely to publish criticism of this sort of thing than, say, NBC.
Damn, another week without a check from the Elders for my share of running the world.
Seriously, though, Islamists need to learn, kinectically, that we care about free speech at least as much as they care about their prophet.

I’m familiar with AJE’s comments section and can confirm that omgamuslim is an Islamist troll.
