It seems like the initial Western reaction to the most recent Muslim extremism has passed into the humor and satire phase.

Thankfully, we are allowed to laugh. Unfortunately our humor will be short lived because such extremism doesn’t react well with human traits, kind of like a Star Trek matter-anti matter episode (Episode: The Alternative Factor. Pertinent quote from Mr. Spock: “Madness has no purpose. Or reason. But it may have a goal.”)

Anyway, a recent blog posting and editorial make my point:

St. Jimbob of the Apokalypse in his blog Shaking Off Sleep has a posting on Invoking Muhammad (Lord, have mercy on us)

In almost all Islamic adherents, I’ve noticed that they immediately append a blessing when invoking the name of Muhammad, saying —Peace be upon him—. In print, the name of Muhammad is followed by (Peace be upon him), or the acronym (pbuh).

So, I propose a protocol of praying for God’s mercy every time Muhammad’s name is invoked, reminding us to pray for his soul, along with the conversion of those who follow in his footsteps.

I won’t reprint excerpts from the editorial here. A little too off-color for my blog, but you might want to check out The Q***r Muhammad: an experiment in tolerance by Mike S. Adams over at townhall.com.
