So you can make a picture...because you can't write out your full post as your sig...

Why don't you just put the text in a picture then?

Its better, he didn't put the picture in his sig, he put a link to the picture in his sig. Specifically to bate people.

There are 1.5 billion muslims in the world, all of them know who Aisha was as do a great deal of nonmuslims who are at least somewhat worldly, cultured and learned. In this thread, at least - and assuming most of you are American, as ATOT polls have shown most of you to be - the stereotype of ignorant, isolated buffoons is true.

I'm personally glad that most of ATOT isn't spending their spare time thinking about tiny children in sexual manners. Thanks.

Oh and btw, the Muslim population on Anandtech is very small (non-existent?) and the Koran was a very, very, dry and boring read (I had to read it once).

He was trolling an Islamic forum. Drawing a picture of Mohammed with a boner was a far more effective method to achieve this goal. What else is there to explain? And now he brought this here to troll and start more drama.

I wasn't being vague. If you talked about Madonna and I didn't know who you meant, would it be your fault for not writing a paragraph explaining who she is?

Ah, classic example of a true idiot on the ATOT forums. You make a vague, uninformative thread expecting: 1) everyone to understand exactly what you are talking about AND 2) to fully agree with you on the subject at hand.

If either of those conditions do not exist, you start calling everyone "ignorant, isolated buffoons".

Bravo sir, well played.

first, you're likely to get death threats drawing the prophet, and doubly based on the way it was drawn.

Second, you expect people to know all of the details of other religions? WTF? Do you not know what it means to believe in a religion?
Most people, once they believe in a religion, will almost go out of their way to learn as little as possible about other religions. Their beliefs are correct, the teachings in other religions are false and blasphemous.

Do you think Islamic people know who some specific person is in the Christian world (not someone shared in the 3 big religions) ?

I don't know much of any of the religions because I find them all comically ridiculous, something that is a complete waste of valuable time attempting to learn the specifics of some ancient man that has had his story extremely exaggerated through the course of time. F that I say.

The image appears to encourage child molestation. The intentions behind this thread appear mean and ignorant.

No, just a general religion subforum on a mainstream site.

Because it isn't an obscure little tidbit, it's widely regarded as common knowledge. It's the sort of stuff you pick up just by not living under a rock.

I only bate myself, and in the shower, not on the internet.

All the people who think the OP was actually encouraging child molestation are fucking idiots. It's obvious that he's simply making fun of the dill holes who actually practice such things.

I suspect nobody thinks you're encouraging child molestation or speaking out against it.

Don't spoon feed us bullshit that your true intentions are to cry foul of child molestation. Grow a sack and just be honest... you trolled a religion forum and used that pic for a sig in the hope of pissing people off.

Not sure why you feel the need to hide behind some altruistic cause.

I've done the same thing with 2 others posting meat pics and recipes on a vegetarian forum. :awe:

there used to be this guy in town, no names, who would apparantly on a regular basis always talk about his hatred of child molesters, basically child molestation was always a subject with him, i heard him several occasions bring up how sick those people are and guess what.........2 years ago he was caught with nude child photos. i guess he tried to advert attention or hide his evil from himself by critisizing others who do such things?
or secretly trying to get viewpoints that dont directly agree with his critique? so he can feel better knowing he is a sicko...i dunno

so now i find it suspicious of anyone who just brings stuff like this up out of the blue after using such a vague pic as a signiture which is basically the same as constantly having it on your mind, that in itself is kinda sick.
