Death Threats for Islam ... Against =ME=

[)O( Hytegia )O(]

Hey there LoR -

I've got a funny story for you.
In my down time, I took up the reigns of running a Facebook page called Watch Out Guys, We're Dealing With a Badass over Here! (aka Badass for the sake of discussion).

On the page I spend a fair amount of time of just posting funny pictures and shit with my friend. We get several thousand likes on our better pics. But enough about how fucking amazing I am and onto the main point.

Not too long ago, I posted a hysterical joke equating the Quran to Weed. In the fallout shitstorm, I received 6 Death Threats in my page's message box (it's cool - Facebook pages are anonymous to the people posting on them).

Now, I'm not bothered by the death threats more than I am the fact that there are people who will, upon any other occasion, enjoy my policy on the page of Everyone has the right to be laughed at. Nobody has the right to be offended - I make jokes about anything under the sun, from racism to sexism, and so on and so forth.
But when I make a joke about the Quran I'm suddenly getting death threats? Woah.
I don't give a fuck about the Death Threats more than the reinforcement that there are people that are bright enough to use the intertubes (meaning that they are in a 1st world country - minimum) but be offended enough to make death threats over a joke that's not even meant to be offensive to the Quran more than it is a pothead joke.

I'm putting Islam back on my rotation of jokes (I chilled for a bit so I didn't get my page banned via reporting to Facebook). But I just wanted to share my story with you guys for a bit.

And while I'm here - anyone got any relatively funny pics regarding Muhammad/Islam/Quran? I need some more material - shit is hard to find for some reason. >.>

When/If I find some, I'll tell you. Fucked up shit though... :|

So...let me get this straight, you received death threats for posting pictures and now you want us to post pictures?

Cool, here ya go.

I remember my first Islamic death threat. I called Mohammed "fucking clown shoes."

I have yet to receive one...

I have had a Hindu declare war on me, however.

Throwing some Yoga Flame at you doesn't exactly count.

I've never had a death threat

I feel left out

Here, let me fix that:

If we're ever in the same elevator together in Dublin at 4AM, I'm going to beat you to death with a shit-dipped sea bass.

Feel included now? :lol:

Yeah it feels like a rite of passage. I never got one either. Darn...maybe I should try harder? :lol:

 

[Prolescum]

Pah, you haven't lived until you get death threats from atheists.

Are you going to need a death threat too? :lol:

I'm pretty sure UB wanted to send me to a concentration camp.
:roll:

But yeah - I got some shit for posting a totally legit picture of Muhammad and being totally respectful. :lol:

This is just getting fun now!

I'm sure you're already itching to provide such a service. Have at it.

How about this. Set up a special service where people will text you and receive death threats in response? Surely there's some money to be made there

Yeah or you pay someone to send death threats to someone else's phone...

Nah, that would be a hollow threat. It means more when people genuinely care and are not being paid for empty words. :ugeek:
