“Christians riot, burn British Embassy, demand speech restrictions in response to BBC drama in which Christian beheads Muslim!”
PLUS: if your religion — alone among all others — is so often “misunderstood”, maybe that means it’s just batshit nonsense that sane, honest people of good will can’t wrap their minds around.
And here’s a helpful hint: all that raping of little girls you get up to doesn’t help.

Charles Manson claimed he got his ideas from the Beatles “White Album”. But only an idiot would take him seriously and arrest the Beatles as accomplices in the murder of Sharon Tate, ban their albums, write 900 page reports on their lyrics (and maybe even some of Charlies’) and hold expensive conferences at which non-British non-musicians debate what they really meant.
(It would be equally stupid, if not downright scary, for “openminded” [empty-headed] people to startlistening to the Beatles after Cielo Drive, for the stated purpose of “sympathizing” with the poor, innocent Beatles and their hippie “misunderstanders” — but of course such a turn of events is unthinkable, right?)
