Can I Say This? I Think So!

[Snapper]

Have you ever wondered why it's OK to make jokes about
Catholics, the Pope, Jews, Christians, the Irish, the Italians,
the Polish, the Chinese, the French (including French Canadians),
the elderly, bad golfers, etc,
but its insensitive to make jokes about Muslims?

We need to level the playing field for the sake of
political correctness.....

SO HERE IS A FEW TO GET STARTED...

If you own a $3,000 machine gun and a $5,000 rocket launcher,
but you can't afford shoes,
You may be a Muslim.

If you have more wives than teeth,
You may be a Muslim.


If you wipe your butt with your bare hand but
consider bacon to be unclean,
You may be a Muslim.

If you think vests come in two styles:
Bullet-proof and suicide.
You may be a Muslim

If you can't think of anyone
you haven't declared jihad against,
You may be a Muslim.

If you consider television dangerous but routinely
carry explosives in your clothing,
You may be a Muslim.

If you were amazed to discover that cell phones have
uses other than setting off roadside bombs,
You may be a Muslim.

If you have nothing against women and think every
man should own at least four,
You may be a Muslim.

In 2014, it's insensitive to make jokes about any of the above, that's a relic leftover from the 80's, Roberto. I always think about it from the other side of the fence...I mean, if you were an Islamic Dalton collector, would you find this post funny or amusing? Especially being lumped into the same category as a bunch of Al-Qaeda terrorists, based soley on your faith? The majority of Muslims hate Islamofascist terrorism. It didn't offend me because I'm Catholic, but if I thought it might potentially be offensive, I sure wouldn't post it online anywhere. Not in 2014. Those days are long gone and it's no longer socially acceptable.

Which Dalton do you imagine they use when fashioning IED's?

Here's my take. I am a dyed in the wool Mississippi redneck. And there are way more redneck jokes floating around than about most others. I could care less... As a matter of fact I have no problem enjoying them.
If Muslims are bad because of Bin Laden, well then Christians are bad because of Timothy McVey.
The best jokes are directed to specific groups. Good post Snapper! Ed B

Thank you Ed.
Like they say, "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke."
