Is Glenn Reynolds Fatwa-Worthy?

Posted on | April 22, 2010 | 21 Comments

The professor mocks the Religion of Peace:

Comedy Central cowers in the face of a murder threat/warning against “South Park” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Obviously, Christians — and Sarah Palin fans, and lovers of My Mother The Car — should take heed of this incentive system our modern media is creating. Don’t want things you treasure satirized? Just issue a “prediction” and — voila!

I predict that Instapundit won’t link this. However, it’s 476 miles to the University of Tennessee (round-trip, that’s 952 miles at 20 cents a mile, $190.40) and I might just spontaneously show up to entertain the professor’s Space Law seminar with my usual cocktail-party routine of tasteless jokes and old Sam Cooke songs.

Not exactly “terrorism,” but potentially quite disruptive, especially if I were to bring a case of ice-cold Coronas ($30) . . .

I’m just sayin’ . . .

    You may not know this, but I really really find Olbermann annoying.

    South Park ain’t my thing, but speech is.

    But in this case, putting “censored” signs and bleeping seems more like away to draw attention to the issue than caving in to fear. Hope so.

    I’m with Mohammad(PBUH). Those legal fuckers with their endless registration forms just to comment. And I’m putting MM, HA and the rest in there too.

    Not commenting is a form of comment, no?

    I am so with you on that dr. kill. I won’t go on those sites. Their loss. Plus I find Allahpundit blashphemous, not because of his handle, but becuase he is not conservative enough for my tastes. And he likes dogs.

    Peace. Mo.

    Allahpundit is teh gehe, and has been trying to recruit Ace into a satanic three-way with Andrew Sullivan while David Frum and Kathleen Parker eat pate out of each other’s navel. CJ won’t be able to make it – he has a whole row of parked bicycles outside, and he can’t pass by one without sniffing the seat.

    Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it really isn’t on the family values agenda.

    If I were Professor Reynolds, and facing a threat such as yours, I would have a warrant for your arrest waiting at the Welcome Center just south of Bristol. The thought of hearing you, “Cupid, draw back your bow-oh….” is terrorism at its worst. Knoxville would probably be instantly depopulated.

    He actually sings better than that, QM. I’d easily rate his vocal talents as being the equal of Neil Young, Geddy Lee and possibly even Ozzy Osbourne. (j/k, Stacy!)

    Where I slept in my car for three hours en route to New Orleans earlier this month.

    The thought of hearing you, “Cupid, draw back your bow-oh….” is terrorism at its worst.

    How did you know that “Cupid” was a favorite in my repertoire? Also “Only Sixteen,” “Wonderful World” and, especially, “Bring It On Home to Me.”
