They are offensive, humourless and it’s obvious they were printed to provoke Muslims and to insult Islam.
So thanks guys for making it so glaringly obvious why Muslims are hated all around the world. Thanks….a…..bunch…
Now before anyone goes on and accuses me of supporting these cartoons and of being on “their” side or whatever….I’m on the side of common decency and respect for fellow man.
That is all.
Most of us have been in this situation at least gosh I hope at least some of you have or else I’m going to feel like an awful parent- you’re out in public (and more than likely it’s a place where children are supposed to act..well anything BUT like little children) and one of your children starts a gargantuan tantrum.
The screams are blood curdling, accompanied by flailing arms and kicking legs. It’s truly a sight to behold.
Now onlookers usually fit into 3 categories:
1. Pretend as though nothing is happening and continue as usual.
2. Look at the parent and child and nod knowingly, sometimes giving a “I feel your pain” smile.
3. Look at the parent and child with utter disgust.
Today I encountered something completely different. A woman telling me, “My but you have so much patience!” I wonder if she meant it as a compliment on my ability to remain calm while my 2 year old WAKES UP THE DEAD! or whether she meant my child is a complete brat and how could I possibly stand for that sort of behaviour. I’m inclined to think the former because, well …isn’t it just OBVIOUS??
What do you do when you see a parent trying to console the inconsolable, tantruming child? What would you like someone to do for you (if anything) when you’re in that situation?
