Not long after I posted my last gallery,I received a message from another Imagefap user ,telling me not to be racist.Since it has become very common to label any criticism or caricature of Islam as racism,I thought I should adress this isssue.

My answer to the aforementionned message was basically this :Islam is a religion not a race, therefore making fun of Muhammad is not racist per se.

To further elaborate,I find these charges of racism quite amusing since Muslims will usually be the first to tell you that Islam is not a race,that Muhammad was sent,not only to the Arabs,but to the whole of humanity.So how come if I criticize Islam or make fun of it,I’m a racist ?

So now they come up with other charges , like xenophobia,bigotry,hatred and so on and so forth but none of them sticks.All one has to do to dismiss these accusations is to read the definition of each one of these words in a dictionary,cause they’ve been misused so much,nobody knows what they mean anymore.Making fun of  Muhammad  is not in itself  any of these things.

So they made up a totally new concept,that of « Islamophobia » .Let’s break this one down :I don’t think it is necessary to define Islam,but what is a phobia ? I once again turn to my holy dictionary and it tells me phobia,used as a suffix, is « a strong unreasonable fear or hatred of a particular thing ».

Now let me ask you :Is it unreasonable to fear a religion in whose name every single day people are threatened,kidnapped,stabbed ,beheaded,shot,or blown up ?

Is it unreasonnable to hate a religion that  allows a man to sleep with a woman he took as booty ?  (no pun intended)  (1)

Is it unreasonnable to hate a religion that allows sexual contact between a man and a prepubescent  girl provided they’re married ? (2)

I let you ponder on this.

(2)    Qur’ân  65/4
