God: So, if I get this straight. Although I am Allah, you don't think I'm powerful enough to handle some cartoonists drawing silly comics.
Terrorist: Yes. Of course You are. I thought maybe, maybe You had something more important to do
God: A lousy cartoon. If I didn't want to allow those cartoons to be drawn I would have gotten rid of ink.
Terrorist: I meant to do it in Your name.
God: You want to do something in my name. Feed the poor.
Terrorist: As you say.
God: By the way, there are plenty of virgins in heaven.
Terrorist: Praised be, Allah.
God: Unfortunately, that's not where you're going.
Using your interpretation of God's words as impetus to silence another's words is highly suspect. Using your God's words as justification to slaughter another is an insult to every God.
