Just saw this bumpersticker:

[Squatch]

Muhammed is dead.
Jesus is alive.

WTF???
What kind of insensitive bullshit is that?

1. I've Seen That One Too... It's pretty arrogant.

... I was driving in Virginia when I saw it.

But, I'm sure that the usual assortment of Christian defenders and apologists will show up in this thread letting you know how you're just "over-reacting" and that you're being too "sensitive" and "whining". You'll be thoroughly trounced for being ANTI-Christian.

5. Guess where I saw it...

Virginia.

2. Have to get one that says

The Christian Right is NEITHER!

[arwalden]

3. Why Do You Hate Christians?

:hi:

[ikojo]

4. So much wrong with that...so much cultural

ignorance. For one thing Muslims do not worship Muhammad as Christians worship Jesus. They do not pray to Muhammad as Christians pray to Jesus. Muhammad was a prophet not seen as God.

[fudge stripe cookays]

6. Ummm...they're BOTH dead,

as they both died over 1400 years ago!

And if the idiot hasn't noticed, both religions are alive and un-well. Since the nutbars appear to have co-opted both to bring about World War III.

:eyes:

[realisticphish]

7. well...yeah

according to theology, Jesus was devine, while Muhammed wasn't. Whoopdeshit :shrug:

isn't ignorance great

[Squeech]

8. Nice to know

that we conduct our theological debates with all the respect and wisdom of a third grade playground. In essence, this is tantamount to saying, "My prophet can beat up your prophet."

One of the things that I find interesting about the Muhammad story is that he really was a nobody before Allah's angels started dictating surahs to him-- he wasn't born into a noble family of royal lineage, he wasn't particularly educated or talented, he was just a petty merchant and a decent man. Indeed, it's the central miracle of Islam that this unlettered camel jockey started speaking in what they tell me is the unparalleled poetry of the Qur'an. He didn't have to rise from the dead, it was miraculous enough that he was suddenly able to orate far above his station in life.

(And this is part of why all Muslims are strongly encouraged to learn Arabic, to appreciate that poetry. Which also demonstrates that education is more highly prized in their culture than in ours.)
