I have completely gone off the color green, due to it's association with islam.

Just because Khomeini called it Islamic you believed him? You didn't believe everything else he said did you brothers? Then how come you believed this one?
Are you stupid? or are you just pretending to be? No one is listeing to Khomeini. We are looking at facts in Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, and now Syria. It's all been an Islamic revolution. They are all now under sharia Law. They all went from secular to Islamists.

Good cartoon. BTW, Using religion and religious establishment to counter, hijack and then defeat very just, forward looking and popular revolutions is not limited to Islam. Spain's General franco's fascist dictatorship had the solid backing of the catholic church. So did Mussilini's Italian Fascist dictatorship. In short, all religions, with their routes firmly embeded in superstition will always remain the natural allies of forces opposed to progress. So it is not a co-incidence that in France and Russia for example, the chrches and priests became the immediate targets of attack and destruction for victorious revolutionaries,
But that is not the end of the story. within religious establishment itself, we can see individual forces who will side with people and their progressive aspirations. In our own iran, ayatollah Taleghani was a good example of that. In latin america, local catholic church priests did side with people against fascist dictatorship.
Now given the religious beliefs of the masses of people, in particular in muslim countries, a serious "student of Revolution", should approach this matter with extreme care and caution.....

Thanks for the link. It says FaithFreedom, but nothing pertaining to freedom from filth. And as such rituals go, the believers are in dire need of being led through the hellfire to be "eternally" cleansed of the physical and spiritual filth they accumulate throughout their "sinful" lives.
Perhaps it is because some people are incessantly obssessed with wearing the crap they believe in their minds on their sleeves and well...in this case on the faces.
Pay attention people, I DID say SOME and did not generalize. Go on now, carry on with your dastardly deeds.
