Has he thought how much funnier it would be if ..?

Adelaide Fringe Festival organisers say they will not cancel a Melbourne comedian's show that has come under fire as being anti-Christian.

Josh Ladgrove's one-man show, Come Heckle Christ, will feature at the festival later this month despite more than a dozen official complaints.

The obvious question is why not ramp up the humour potential with a comedy piece entitled 'Come Heckle Muhammed' ... ?

Surely that would attract a greater audience response'? Cool

Herbert,

Christians are expected to be, and largely are, tolerant of humour, and 'art', that mocks themselves, and even Christ.

But why don't such artists mock Mohammed and ISLAM, at public 'art' events ???

Hint, could it be, because of this reason ?......

Because fighting, to defend ISLAM [from insult], is sanctified, and holy - and artists in Western nations have decided to show 'respect' for ISLAM ?

"......the curse of Allah is on those without Faith."
Koran 2.089

"....Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith."
Koran 2.98

"....those who reject Allah have no protector."
Koran 47.008
v. 8-11

"...And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of [i.e. for] those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)?...Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight in the cause of Evil: So fight ye against the friends of Satan:.."
Koran 4.74-76

IMAGE...

Sydney CBD, 2012, moslem street protests.
Moslems, demanding the right to exercise their 'religious freedom'.
Moslems, demanding the right to 'practise their religion'.
Moslems, proclaiming their 'religious' right to murder persons [who are not moslems] who 'offend' moslems, by refusing to believe as they [moslems] believe.

AND MAKE NO MISTAKE, THAT, IS WHAT ISLAM TEACHES, ...TO ALL MOSLEMS [FROM CHILDHOOD].

QUESTION;
If artists in Western nations do show 'respect' for ISLAM, is it because artists in Western nations believe that ISLAM deserves 'respect' ?

And if artists in Western nations do NOT believe that ISLAM deserves their 'respect', aren't artists in Western nations betraying their 'artistic' principles [in refusing to satirise ISLAM and moslems] ?

i.e. are 'artists' [like many Western journalists] just a bunch of cowardly C.S. ???

In their 'performances' are artists and performers in Western nations, just demonstrating that an 'artist' is just the epitome of a 'whore' ? [....they will do just about anything, for money 'for their art', ......but they will not satirise what is evil and threatening - even though such evil NEEDS to be satirised.]

Surprising reaction, unless a captive audience, that doesn't have the option of ignoring him. Christians should consider it to be a matter between the filthy blasphemers and Jesus Christ. Praying that he overcomes Satan's grip. It really would have been a universally embarrassingly unregenerate display, 50 years ago, for those thus duped by Satan.
But then their foolishness is just a sign of these times.

Hey. Maybe a "come heckle Muhammad" tour in the countries that impose the death penalty for so-called "blasphemy" is in order! (so-called because few people in the history of mankind were greater blasphemers than the false prophet Muhammad himself).

Afghanistan (member OIC) - death penalty
Algeria (member OIC) - 10 years of imprisonment and a fine
Bangladesh - so far, "Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina rejected calls for new laws.....demanding death penalty for people involved in blasphemy."
Egypt (member OIC) - death penalty
Kuwait (member OIC) - death penalty
Malaysia - up to 3 years in prison
Nigeria - "Nigeria prohibits blasphemy by section 204 of its Criminal Code and by permitting Sharia courts to operate in some states.[52][53] Vigilantism frequently usurps the jurisdiction of the courts.[54]"
Pakistan (member OIC) - death penalty
Saudi Arabia (member OIC) - death penalty
Sudan (member OIC) - imprisonment, a fine (up to 8 million Sudanese pounds for having sold a book), and a maximum of forty lashes
Turkey (member OIC) - 1-3 years
UAE (member OIC) - up to the judge, but based on what they do to tourists that are victims of rape.....
Yemen (member OIC) - death penalty

Lies cannot defend themselves. That's the reason the Muhammadan's god needs men to silence other men, as has gone on in the Islamic world for 1400 years.

You should have seen how embarrassingly the U.S. media danced around the subject of Islamic terrorism, and terrorists, even days after the Boston Marathon bombing.

Oh yes indeed.

The Useful Idiots of the Western media steadfastly ignored the stampede of elephants in the room.

But then a cadet reporter still wet behind the ears uttered the taboo-word 'Muslims' ~ and out popped a thousand apologists, contortionists, illusionists, fictionalists, self-harmers, and truth-nihilists.

Do I really have to spell it out for you?

Do you think there might be a reason why this 'comedian' has decided not to invite people to heckle Muhammad?

I think some might say that Islam has far more potential for Standup comedy than Christianity.

It's the self-immolating vandalism of Leftwing PC dogma that's on display here with this pathetic delinquent.

It's a stereotype of how the Left believe it to be ideologically chic and 'progressive' to trash ones own cultural heritage and sacred institutions ~ while at the same time being very careful not to offend the heritage and dignity of the ethnic minorities.

This is what we witness again and again in the attitude and behaviour of the neurotically self-demeaning leftwingers.

Are there many comedians who target Islam? I can understand why some would be afraid to. Just look at what happened to the people involved in that dodgy youtube video. Still, it is a great shame, because it means the threats, intimidation and violence by Muslims work, which only encourages them to use threats, intimidation and violence to silence critics.
