Bobble Head Mohammad - It's Simply Free Speech
Jules Crittenden writes at BostonHerald.com, "Move over, Jesus. Make room on the dashboard for Mohammad . . . Bobblehead Mohammad.
A former Marine is hawking the nodding Mohammad doll at his Web site, www.dashboardmohammed.com at $22.99 a pop . . . expect two to four weeks' delay in shipping due to high demand, 10 percent of all sales to go to Tim Ames' beer fund.Continue reading, "Customers give the nod to Marine's Bobble Mohammad.""We've sold 200 in the last six hours," said Ames, 28, of Hawaii. He acknowledges he is risking a fatwa, although he hasn't received a death threat yet.
He may have not yet received a death threat, but I'm willing to bet that more than a few will be coming his way. I am never in favor of mocking religion, but I am most definately in favor of "in your face" free speech when there are those with Islamic extremist views that are unable to cope in the modern world and are working so hard to destroy our rights of free speech, and even our rights to worship and live as we wish, without having to submit to Islamic law.
