What About It, Robert?

Posted by ERICA C. BARNETT on February 11 at 16:35 PM

In a column titled “Would Jesus With an Uzi be Amusing?” in today’s P-I, Robert Jamieson decries a Danish newspaper’s decision to publish images of Muhammed, calling it “a cartoon attack that strikes at the spiritual core of [Muslims’] religion.” What if someone made a similar “attack” on Christians, Jameson asks. “How many cartoons have you seen showing Jesus as a Level 3 sex offender? Or toting an Uzi?… Christ is off limits.”

Apparently, Jameson didn’t bother doing his research.

Is this like a set of Christmas cards you have or something?

I google image-searched Jesus and gun, and this is what popped up. I also looked for an image of Jesus from the cartoon South Park (where he frequently totes a rifle) but couldn't find one with high enough resolution.

That's no uzi. It's quite clearly an assault rifle, possible an M-16.
