Amusing Satire on the Caricatures Controversy

A reader sent me a link to this amusing letter to the Weekly Dig in Boston.

This is a response to the "artist" who in last week's Dig insulted my God by running a comic strip depicting Him clad in an explosive vest, carrying a gun, with a knife between his teeth. I cannot begin to express how deeply offensive this is to my people. My God stands for love, tolerance and peace...

I call upon all believers in our great and beneficent God to find the cartoonist and boil the marrow in his bones, wear his innards like neckties and lop off his loins. If the cartoonist can't be found, however, I urge believers to find another cartoonist, or perhaps the offices of a publication that runs cartoons, or even an Outback Steakhouse or toy store, and burn it to the ground. Only then, as we dance in the smoldering ashes surrounded by carcasses of those who probably enjoyed said cartoon, or at least knew someone who did, will the world realize that it was wrong to link our religion to a culture of random violence and savagery.

There's more to it. Funny stuff.
