excellently put.
there's no room for intolerance of this kind. especially when the whining is used a a form of social leverage for whatever purpose. puppies on a postcard being somehow focused as an insult against muslims isn't just an incomprehensible thing to westerners, but a basic attack on simple western ideals, in art, communication, marketing, and cultural values that we place on canines in our society.
let the randomly angered person, be he muslim, jew, or gentile, show their colors. we have outgrown our awkward "politically correct" phase into a mature and even headed, and even handed, level of sensitivity that won't unjustly mistreat or disregard whole demographics. let them make such petty complaints, if only for them to find out how they misrepresent their religion when the seasoned citizen of their faith explains it to them simply that "things like that aren't done here."
because we don't just like our dogs, we love them.
besides, i thought it was mohammed YOU weren't supposed to show pictures of. personally, i'll draw the line there, just for diplomacy's sake. if it doesn't show, i'm not muslim. i don't follow your faith, nor do people you live around need to follow your rules by reason of only being your neighbors. so don't push it.
the vulcans are written to say "live long and prosper." i mean, they aren't even real and that doesn't sound bad. it certainly doesn't sound like "i'm offended by puppies."

One of your best written posts yet. I think this should be printed in bulk and distributed along the southern US border.
