A Weapon of Mass Destruction: the Cartoon

(6)

All that out of the way I now turn to my favorite current event: Muslim outrage over dumb little cartoons depicting The Prophet. I looked up the cartoons in question on the internet and could find nothing offensive about them, but I am a Pink Pantheist, not a Muslim. As I thought about this interesting subject it seemed to me that cartoons were uniquely effective vehicles for transfering ideas (highly compacted information) in rapid and massive fashion to millions of people in a short amounts of time and that this quality - this ability of cartoons to piss off literally billions of people - ought to be put to good use in the interests of Humanity.

Toward that end I would like to suggest my own original (as far as I know) cartoon designed to piss off the billions of people all over the world who belong to the Circumcision Cult. Here is my idea:

The cartoon in question should depict Abraham, who is a Jewish-Christian-Muslim Patriarch, about to circumcise a newborn male child. The cartoon should leave no question concerning what is about to take place: Abraham is about to sexually mutilate (circumcise) a child.
