I thought this was just too funny (and sad) not to post. A few years back, Kevin Smith did a film called 'Dogma' and it's religious themes caused quite a stir in the Christian community. But really, it's a movie with a rubber poop monster. How seriously could anyone really take the film?



Well, when it comes to taking things out of context and overreacting, no one does that better than radical Muslims. According to this news report, residents of Sadr City in Iraq found "official" U.S. Military papers documenting their plan to overthrow the militias by terrorizing the local residents with assassinations, explosions and the rape and killing of their women. Of course the "official" strategy also came with an "officially" badly drawn military crest and color photocopies of ... that's right ... The "Buddy" Christ from Dogma.

They are incensed because apparently he is supposed to be a caricature of a Shiite holy figure, Imam Mahdi.

Or one of the Bee Gees. It's hard to tell with these folks.

Because, Allah knows it couldn't be a ham handed attempt by the local militia's (and Kinko's apparently) to discredit the U.S. Military.

"If it wasn't so serious it would be funny," said a coalition spokesman, Major Will Willhoite.

Ain't it the truth.
