Muhammed the Teddy Bear.

Read it and weep, my friends.

So then, I suppose that teddy bears are a weapon of fear deployed by the Bush Administration in their ongoing war on Islam? Tickle me Hellmo was a horror to be sure, but teddy bears? Allah help us!!

This is the kind of rabid fanaticism that is to be feared from organized religion. I hate to say, but it’s become a sure fact of life. No, I’m not anti-Muslim. Nor am I anti-Christian or anti-semitic. Religion is fine when kept in check. But once it crosses that border to become the dominant influence in a person’s life, they become a fanatic.  And a fantatic (believing their divine justice to be superior to that of every non-believer) is willing to go to any length to ensure that they’re rewarded with those 72 virgins, or at least a Halo match against Jesus.

This concludes my Athiest rant.
