Neither can I. Don't click on the link, people, it's nothing more than mockery of the cross.

thereselefleur, Christ is Risen!

I fixed your URL link. How dreadful!

Thank you very much Father - that is strange - I'm using Firefox which I have used for a long time now.

It must be me

Please don't link to this stuff. None of us want to look at it.

We really need to pray for these people.

Of course, if this site were mocking Mohammed instead of Christ, there would be riots.

God bless,

I ate my lunch, but now I've lost it.

Seriously - the poor soul who expends such time and effort to create such hatred must be pitied.

How sad - to have such bitterness in your heart that your only outlet is to fling whatever pitiful outrage you can gather against the Lord of All, as though He is the author of your misfortune, and not yourself.

Gather yourself up, man! Take courage, and find within yourself that (yes!) God-given strength. Ask for it, if you must, and stop blaming the Author - when the fault lies with the Transcriber.

Trinity,

The addressee of your comment is not clear. I welcome you to the forum. Have you introduced yourself and I missed it? If you haven't would you? You seem like a thoughtful person but if we knew a bit about you we could more easily discern your meaning.

God have mercy on those who make such things and God have mercy on those who enjoy them! By the prayers of the Theotokos, save us oh Savior!

Dan, I think Trinity was addressing the authors of those blasphemous websites, not the members of this Forum.

Trinity, welcome to the Forum ! You made a good post. But, it was a little confusing about whom you were addressing. wink

Well, thank you John! Every girl should have a white knight in shining armor like you!

I thought it was pretty obvious that I meant these poor blasphemous-minded people, and NEVER your own dear selves. My apologies! Sometimes I wax a little poetic, and I guess it gets a little confusing. Again, I'm so sorry for any misunderstanding!

Actually, I'm in a mood to be wicked, and I feel the need to piggyback on Karen's comment. Especially since I've been to the Middle East four times, and seen the persecution firsthand. Here goes...

I'm going to make up a website too. It will be called "Dress-Up Mohammed".

I already have some really great outfits in mind:

1. "The Monstrous Marauder": Mohammed gets all gussied up in his party best to go out with his band of brigands - oops! APOSTLES - raping, torturing, and murdering the citizens of peaceful Christian and Jewish villages. ("Hey - Allah said it was OK - they're infidels!") Comes complete with bloodstained scimitar and several big cloth bags to carry away all the loot - and the prettier women and children.

2. "Fun Times in Paradise": Mohammed sports a spicy black lace nightie trimmed in ostrich, and prepares to give a little religious instruction to those "twelve boys, fresh as pearls". ("Come on over here, Koran Boy, and try some of my kofta while I recite you a sura or two. Ohhh, Allah is merciful!")

3. "Justice At Last": Mohammed's got on his best prison stripes, because he's been finally sent to jail - for marrying a nine-year old girl when he was in his late 50s. ("Hey, I wanted her when she was six, but I was a good guy and waited for her to 'become a woman'. And guess what - Allah said it was OK!") Well, guess what, Mohammed? Do you know what the other inmates do to child molesters in prison? Your new outfit comes complete with a bar of soap - that's for you - and lots of rope and a big sharp knife - that's for THEM. biggrin

Trinity,

Two observations: Though I think this is funny I don't think it will hit the right people. Osama might be a better character to do these things, but then there is some truth in your cartoon ideas.

Second, I suggest that if you do produce such a website that you do like Bat Ye'or and others have done. Find a secure hiding place and never leave.

Once again, welcome. We need a little spice around here.
