Mockery

In its most recent issue, National Review suggests mockery as a new weapon against Islam. I'm not sure this is something a president can do, but a senator  probably could, and a member of the House DEFINITELY could. So could Hollywood. Muslims are ripe for satire -- woman cuts off a Muslim driver in order to get a parking spot at the mall; he gets out of his car, cursing loudly and crazily in Arabic (with the obligatory Muslim fashion accessory -- columns of dynamite strapped to his belly); he pops his trunk and emerges with handfuls of rocks; he attempts to stone the woman but misses badly, instead hitting various passers-by -- a child, an old man in an Amigo, a dog, and (uh-oh) a security guard; the security guard Tasers him, knocking him to the ground in a twitching heap; the viewing audience laughs, cheers, and applauds.

Would mockery work to defuse the Islamo-fascist movement? I doubt it. But let's try it anyway.

P.S. Wouldn't this just make them mad? I've got news for you: they're already there.
