”You might be a Muslim if…”

[Trinnity]

This came from another political board I visit and was just to good not to share.............

1. You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to liquor.

2. You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can’t afford shoes.

3. You have more wives than teeth.

4. You wipe your butt with your bare hand, but consider bacon unclean.”

5. You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide.

6. You can’t think of anyone you haven’t declared Jihad against.

7. You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing.

8. You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs.

9. You have nothing against women and think every man should own at least four.

10. Your cousin is president of the United States

11. You find this offensive or racist and don’t forward it.

[Parade Rain]

....you post tripe like this and call it a "contribution" to intelligent political discussion.

[Trinnity]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. It shows you DO have a sense of humor.

This forum is called "shootin the shit". It's for humor and such....remember?

[Parade Rain]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. It shows you DO have a sense of humor.

I like how clueless you are - and so willing to show it to the crowd here. Hell yes, it's funny! :lmao2:

[Trinnity]

Same to you. Thanks again.

[Parade Rain]

Same to you. Thanks again.

Anytime! Keep bumping - it lets everyone see your "contribution". :D

No problem, and thank you again.

Thanks, Minty. Gee so much prudishness on this site. Who knew?

Here's some more someone wrote...

12. You consider bathing to be optional.

13. You grow a mustache so you can look like mom.

14. You think a SCUD is a Iraqi prostitute.

15. Tickling the goat under the chin is considered foreplay.


I figure there's got to be a camel joke in this somewhere. :lmao2:

[MintJulep]

Islam is the pet religion for many leftists.

If you took this thread, changed the words to reflect something negative about Christianity, they'd be guffawing and belly-bustin' all over the place.

Such fucking hypocrites. :lmao2:

[Trinnity]

Yeah, or rednecks, or Southerners, or fat people, or Texans, or conservatives, or Republicans, or hunters, or Boy Scouts, or non-litterers......that prudish faux outrage would dry up fast.

Oh yeah, or anyone who admits they watch FOX. :noway:

Anyone offended by "you might be a .... if" joke is looking to be offended. Ridiculous.

There's plenty that goes on on this site, and most others, that is offensive.
They are even more so because they are aimed at specific individuals.

[AndresHernando]

Especially number 4. :lmao2:
Sorry, Mint, but I disagree.... The last one was definitely funnier.:thumbsup:

Seriously, though, I agree with Bill that this joke could offend some people, so I suggest that we replace it with this one --you may have already come across it, but at least it's in better taste than Trinnity's:

Don’t forget to mark your calendars. As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked and if he does, he must commit suicide . So next Saturday at 1 PM Eastern Time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists.

Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort.

All patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their houses to demonstrate their support for the women and to prove that they are not Muslim terrorist sympathizers. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack at your side is further proof of your patriotism.

The American government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity.

God bless America !

P.S. It is your patriotic duty to inform others. If you don’t, you’re a terrorist-sympathizing, lily-livered coward and are possibly aiding and abetting terrorists.

I saw that a while back. Very funny, indeed.
Seems their religion is a little out of step with the times. And reality. :crazzy:

Speech rights, women's rights, gay rights....oh hell, just rights in general.

That would probably be because the majority of us are Christians.

Most people consider self deprecation humor funny - certainly much funnier than slurring others.

Now, as to the rest:
doesn't like an entire race ---> Muslims are not a race.
religion ---> not if it preaches hate and killing of non-Muslim "infedels"; which it does.
ethnicity --->Muslims are not an ethnic group. I checked, just for you, to be sure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups
gender---->ridiculous

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but almost all terrorists are Muslims.

Now, I love you, dude, but if you keep this up, it's gonna take all the humor out of this thread. :winkwink:

[MarkMiller]

You might be a Muslim if..
1. You earn your means of living by producing heroin, but is opposed to alcohol on religious and moral grounds.

2. You own an automatic weapon worth $2000 and a ramp for firing of missiles worth $4000 but has been difficulty getting enough money to buy yourself a pair of shoes.

3. You have more wives than teeth.

4. You wipe your ass with your bare hands, but consider bacon to be "impure."

5. You are looking at two models when you're about to purchase a vest - one bulletproof and one that you can blow your self up with.

6. You can not recall something you have not claimed Jihad against.

7. You consider television a dangerous
phenomenon, but carry around explosives inside your clothes.

Attempts to marginalize conservatives by claiming they're directed by FOX are nothing more than partisan insults. Anyone who can't see the very real threat that Muslim terrs proclaim daily, is an utter fool.

Here's a sample from yesterday, from the "Times Square bomber":

"Brace yourselves, because the war with Muslims has just begun," 31-year-old Faisal Shahzad told a federal judge. "Consider me the first droplet of the blood that will follow."

[dsolo802]

Attempts to marginalize conservatives by claiming they're directed by FOX are nothing more than partisan insults.Conservatives degrade their own ability to think and marginalize themselves by exposing themselves to the constant drum beat of Fox propaganda.

Anyone who can't see the very real threat that Muslim terrs proclaim daily, is an utter fool.We are all against terrorism. Only some of us on this board and around this country are for bigotry - and think it's funny.

Here's a sample from yesterday, from the "Times Square bomber":

"Brace yourselves, because the war with Muslims has just begun," 31-year-old Faisal Shahzad told a federal judge. "Consider me the first droplet of the blood that will follow."Only someone who was brainwashed and bigoted would read that news bit and conclude that Faisal Shahzad was speaking for greater Islam.

Son of Sam, a mass murderer, claimed he was getting his instructions to kill from his dog. Do you think this reflects negatively on all canines? :lmao2: :hi:

There is as much truth to the preceding statement as there is to one that now follows:

You might be a Christian if . . .
1. You proudly kill abortions doctor, while proclaiming the sanctity of all life.

Neither statement is remotely true:


No significant percentage of the 1.5 Muslims world-wide make their living by producing heroin.

No significant percentage of the 2.1 Christians world-wide kill abortion doctors.


In fact, both statements are demonstrably false. These statements are demonstrably false for everyone EXCEPT those who resist the truth with all their might because of their bigotry.

[tristanrobin]

There are more CHristians than Muslims world-wide?

Who are you kidding? There are lots of private schools. You choose one that has religious indoctrination to send your kid to.

You LOVE indoctrination - you just want it to favor YOU.

[dsolo802]

You are a hateful shrill, aren't you? No, I'm responding as I have because I find the material hateful, completely untrue, unfunny and unproductive - in the extreme. If your list started, "You may be a Radical Muslim if . . ." Some of the items would be funny, because there would be some truth to them. But in this time of people tarring all Muslims with the insane acts of the Radicals, it is not only completely false and unfunny but dangerous.

The sane Christians and the sane Muslims will laugh off poor attempts at humor as coming from dumb-asses - but the people we need to worry about - the ones that have screws loose - that actually will make them more likely to do things we really don't want them to do.

More than this, we live in a plural society. We have millions of fellow citizens who happen to be Muslim. Do you think it is a good idea to send out "humorous" messages communicating the quaint and utterly false notion that the Koran teaches its followers to wipe their asses with their hands? Do you think "jokes" that falsely present a class of people as being backward and second class citizens is funny? Do you think Blacks today would find slavery "jokes" funny? How about Jews with those rip roaring Holocaust jokes?

I don't write for Bill Maher - and neither do I approve in advance everything that he or anyone else has to say. Around religious stuff, I find Maher himself to be bigoted: He definitely throws the baby out with the bath water.

Do you think it is a good idea to send out "humorous" messages communicating the quaint and utterly false notion that the Koran teaches its followers to wipe their asses with their hands? Do you think "jokes" that falsely present a class of people as being backward and second class citizens is funny? Do you think Blacks today would find slavery "jokes" funny? How about Jews with those rip roaring Holocaust jokes?

I don't write for Bill Maher - and neither do I approve in advance everything that he or anyone else has to say. Around religious stuff, I find Maher himself to be bigoted: He definitely throws the baby out with the bath water.

Aw....so serious, and it's not my list, can't claim it, the humour was provided by Trinity. Thank you for the laugh Trin.

It is humour, ever seen a roast? :D

You may be a bigot if you think what Trinity posted is funny.

Thanks, O.
Some libs (not all) have so little sense of humor, cuz they're too busy hatin' conservatives for existing.

That's kind of interesting. Because even though there are far more talking heads and pundits on conservative stations, the big political comedians are all progressive.

... just saying

[MintJulep]

Thanks, O.
Some libs (not all) have so little sense of humor, cuz they're too busy hatin' conservatives for existing.From my recollection, Ocealdia is what I'd call a moderate democrat, not an extremist. Dsolo has simply become such a 'hateful shrill' (good description), anyone not in lockstep with the Obama/Pole-Vaulter agenda is subject to his irrational rage.

[Trinnity]

We hate your politics and party first strategies.I know you HATE; you didn't have to prove it. But thanks. :thumbsup:
(what party? I'm not a Republican. I'm registered as "unaffiliated" and belong to no party)

And thanks, Minty. See, as I said, not all libs are humorless.

[tristanrobin]

I see how it could be quite easy to get into a rage with all the deceit, dishonesty, lying, misrepresentation, and hyperbole coming from the teabaggers.

For anybody who has a love for truth and honesty, the teabaggers are an obvious target for contempt and disgust.

[dsolo802]

But thanks. :thumbsup:You are welcome!

You will have much more to thank me for. I'm not a Democrat. I'm one of those Independents. But if I were a Democrat, I'd never be a John Kerry Democrat - the kind that sits there and lets lying scum bags slander me, and at will.

I'm not going to bring a knife to the gunfight. You guys want the OK Corral. From this point forward, that's what you get.

[MintJulep]

You are welcome!

Independent for you = Socialist. Unless you care to share your 'conservative' views...........?

And thanks, Minty. See, as I said, not all libs are humorless.It's a shame really, as the dem party has been commandeered by the far-left. After this debacle, they will have to expunge the progressives from the party in order to have any chance of power again. It's taken 4 years for a group to form in order to put the republican party on notice, the dems will be forced to do the same.

I wonder if we'll see a dem Tea Party in the future?

I love how the teabaggers are so confident in reversing history. They've gotten so used to lying and getting away with it, they don't even ATTEMPT to appear to be honest.

[MintJulep]

For anybody who has a love for truth and honesty, the teabaggers are an obvious target for contempt and disgust.Perhaps the left should have pondered their actions before now. Crying foul and blaming it on everyone except those responsible is an exercise in futility, at this point.

I'm sure the glory days of screeching racist and telling us to get screwed because we didn't want the HC bill were fun times, but those days are coming to an end.

We will pole-vault the liars who did this right into the unemployment line.

[tristanrobin]

Well, for STARTERS, you've stated that extremists have taken over the Democratic party. Though it's TRUE that extremists have taken over the Republican Party, the same people are leading the Democratic party as have been.

Then in your last post you implied that it is wrong for Democrats to (accurately) state that the condition of our nation is thanks to the previous GOP administration.

I'm sure I could go through almost every one of your posts and point out the either the disingenuous distortions or outright lies you've written.

[Trinnity]

So, there it is. You're spoiling for a fight. Are you a violent person? Is making threats your style? Get a grip - or some therapy.
Run along, now, before you shoot your eye out. :readpaper:

[dsolo802]

The only person espousing nastiness is you. Liar.

Independent for you = Socialist. McCarthy much?

Unless you care to share your 'conservative' views...........?I've shared my conservative views here on this board and others many times. Here are a few items on my list:


Actual support for the working man and his family in the form of a return to collective bargaining - a fair/livable wage for a fair day's work
Actual support for the middle class in the form of affordable health care, affordable access to education and training and a return to a progressive tax system that does not make the working man shoulder a disproportionate share of the taxation burden
Effective private sector regulation that is no larger than is necessary to BE effective
Actual support for the free market dynamics needed for the private sector to function as we all want it to - including the cancellation of the insurance industry's anti-trust exemption and allowing the free flow of cheaper Canadian pharma generics into this country
Transformation of the pseudo Global market place into a true one where, for example, American workers are not expect to compete and win against companies offering child and slave and environment raping labor.
Actual support for the sanctity of born life
Actual support for the troops
Tax relief for businesses who can DEMONSTRATE actual creation of American jobs, actual support energy independence, actual creation of new infrastructure which is the key to our competitiveness world-wide

I didn't ask for or mention a fight. You did.
And I didn't say anything about HATE. You did.

You're such a crack up. :lmao2:

[dsolo802]

Do you? You're the one making threats.Ok - Dr. Suess version

You are bringing guns to the fight
I'm not going to come to the fight with a knife
I will bring my guns to the gun fight you started


True, it's not Green Eggs and Ham - but do try to keep up.

I didn't ask for or mention a fight. No, you and Minty and Wayers and your friends are just having a gun fight. Whopping lies, volume repetition of baseless slander, naked bigotry in the guise of "humor" and deflection - you know, like the deflection you're attempting to work right now.

And I didn't say anything about HATE.Really?

Other than supporting the troops, I don't see any conservative views. I see progressive views hidden beneath manipulated wording.

You're a socialist. Have the balls to own it. I'd have more respect for a straight-up communist who told me that than someone who masquerades as an "Independent". I don't pretend to be an Independent, although I certainly could.

Pick a side of the road and drive.

[dsolo802]

No need to argue with you. Anyone can see what you wrote, including this:That's why I wrote it - so you could read it. duh.

[dsolo802]

Excuse me? What have I lied about?What haven't you lied about?

[dsolo802]

Which one of these is conservative?All of em. And your conservative values are all phony. Let's take them one by one:


Actual support for the working man or woman.

Do you believe that working hard and playing by the rules is a virtue and a conservative value? I do.

Do you think governmental policies and laws that destroys all meaningful opportunity for people to work hard to take of care of themselves and their families emerges out of any conservative value? I certainly don't. The US government should not, for example, adopt policies that force American working men and women to compete in no win situations - competing for example, against Chinese child and slave labor. Are you for or against unfair competition either in this country or across national boundaries? I'm against it.

I'm for equal opportunity in the market place for men and women alike, for all races and religions. Are you for it, Minty, or against it?

I'm against the export of all manufacturing jobs as against the national interest of the United States, and the working man. Are you for it? or against it? Germany refused to export all of its heavy manufacturing. And guess what - as a result it is already recovering really nicely from the world wide recession, while we continue to flounder.

[doctordog]

No, you and Minty and Wayers and your friends are just having a gun fight.

I have been gone for days now and you can't get me out of your head? Your continued attacks on the F5 show you are just a POS which as you said above is what you have always been.:taunt:

[dsolo802]

We need to bring you back from the dark side.

[doctordog]

I am right where I want to be. Although I did discover while being off for a few days that I may not be around as much as before.

Not a genuine bone in their bodies.
