Calling all Islamophobes

Grab those Daytimers™ and Cross™ pens, you won't want to miss ISLAMOPHOBIAPALOOZA!

Indeed, there is no greater threat to Western Civilization™ than religious fundamentalism.

Is he or isn't he?

Only the wingnuts know for sure.

Wingnut response to the horrific Greyhound bus killing has been -- well, I'd like to say "enlightening", but unfortunately it just confirms what we already know about right-wingnuts and those furious little pretzels of paranoid madness they call... "their brains".

At FD, they're in a quandary:

"Maybe"!? No doubt! But who cares, because:

Or a Unitarian Universalist, eh pally? But then again...

Damn straight. A cover-up:


But suddenly, Realitus interruptus:


"Worked hard all week, went to church on Sundays, went insane." D'oh!

Now I'm waiting for someone to notice that in the arrest picture, the killer appears to be wearing ...Birkenstocks!, notorious Official Footwear of Leftoid Hippie Feminist Gay Libtard Barking Moonbats everywhere!

Paranoia strikes deep

When I heard the horrendous story that the vicious murder of a passenger on a Greyhound Bus included decapitation, I knew, just knew!, that the Usual Suspects would immediately SHRIEEEEEK! spiral into a frenzy of furious Islamophobia-induced psychosis. But I really didn't expect the paranoid madness to continue once the killer's non-Muslim-sounding name was revealed.

Balbulican at stageleft documents the insanity.

UPDATE: Buckets weighs in with some of the reaction at FD.

Out from under the rocks

Nothing like a story about an act of overt racism to bring the rest of the foaming fruitbags out from under their shit-encrusted rocks.

That CBC story about the pig's head incident in Ottawa (which I posted about on Monday) has generated over 100 comments, and ewwww it ain't pretty. Reading through the combox, I was reminded of a hot summer day when I lifted a bag of garbage out of its tidy little Rubbermaid™ can, only to find a nest of maggots teeming and boiling away underneath. It appears racism is not only alive and well but thriving in Canada.

First out of the gate on the racist side of the equation was this idiot:

Hahaha. Of course. The crush these people have on Steyn is well past the "schoolgirlish" stage and becoming an all-out obsession. No wonder he shut down his blog and made a run for it.

Predictably, a vicious little freak calling itself "InFidel" shows up to rant and foam and defend crumbling Canadian cultural values like Wonder Bread, Kraft Dinner and Timmy Ho's. His/her style is so spewingly familiar, it might just be someone we know from Right Blogistan. You know, the kind of person who routinely makes sweeping unsubstantiated claims that *everyone* hates multiculturalism. When called upon to define her/his definition of Canadian Culture and provide a citation to back up some alleged poll results, he/she responds:

Canada Freak Press, no less (and notably not even hyperlinked by this asinine "InFidel" character): would that be the Christalibangelist "news" site that publishes articles like "So What If I'm Racist?"? Arrgh. And you thought the level of debate on blogs was low.

Won't someone think of the children?

Here's a story to get your week off to a running pissed-off start on a Monday morning.

You have to wonder about the mentality of some of the people that bitch and whine about being persecuted for hate speech, when someone among them turns around and does something like this:

"A four-year-old girl found a severed pig's head bearing a slur against Muslims on the front steps of her family's home in Ottawa's west end over the weekend."

The Ottawa police hate crimes unit is investigating the incident, said an Ottawa police news release. Investigators believe the animal's head was left between 3 a.m. and 8 a.m. Saturday."

Don't even ask me what I'd do if that was my kid. Just ponder: why do Islamophobes hate the children?

AFTERTHOUGHT: I'm well aware that not every xenophobic nut is hateful enough to engage in the kind of activity described in this story. But it's worth pointing out in relation the ongoing issue of "threats to free speech", since douchebags like this are themselves threats to free speech, they just don't seem to know it.
