Doodles


Was doodling in Flash last night and came up with this from a combination of other monkey cartoons. Feel free to take it and use it for whatever you want, however you want.

Oh Peaceful Islam, Allah the Just!

Because Allah is so merciful and just, Sharia law dictates that any woman who fails to dress appropriately should receive 40 lashes. In case anyone was in doubt, the Sudanese police recently decided to violently enforce the Sharia law in a public restaurant. From the BBC article:
Lubna Ahmed al-Hussein, who says she is facing 40 lashes, said she and 12 other women wearing trousers were arrested in a restaurant in the capital, Khartoum. She told the BBC several of the women had pleaded guilty to the charges and had 10 lashes immediately.

The pain and humiliation was surely horrible for those women. But as a husband, I can't imagine how anyone would subject their wife to that type of law and still sleep at night or even consider themselves worthy of having a wife. Where is the moral outrage amongst the people. The women aren't even suppose to be out in public without a man, and they say this is for their "protection"? Where were the men to protect these women from being beaten simply for wearing trousers?

Sharia law is nothing more that sociopathic fascism, especially when it comes to women. It seems to me that the great nations of the world can't claim to fight terrorism, while at the same time bowing in respect to the evil religion of Islam.

I leave you with this wonderful quote from the Quran:

Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) that the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part you fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance), for Allah is Most High, Great (above you all). (4:34, A.Y.Ali)

Religious freedom and your tax dollars at work...


Just read that State Representative Sally Kern, with other lawmakers, and civic and religious leaders, met at the Oklahoma State Capitol this month to sign the "Oklahoma Citizen's Proclamation for Morality." The full text of the proclamation is also posted in the news article here.

In the proclamation, the national economic crisis is blamed on gays, divorce, sex trafficking and child abuse, and "many other forms of debauchery". The solution: Christianity and the Holy Bible (it literally says this). The article goes on and on quoting historical figures regarding religion...just about everyone is quoted except the Constitution of the United States! What ever happen to the separation of church and state?

Just in case Rep. Kern forgot:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"

So proclaim all you want Rep. Kern, but as a politician you should keep your Bible and your gods to yourself! And maybe, as a politician, you could also find something more constructive to spend your time on than drawing up religious proclamations?
