WTF is Bruce F***ing Banner?

I am not into all the worst that the dregs of 21st century pop culture has to offer.

Try something else.
 
matchlight;1063920752The country where this is happening is our supposed NATO ally. The U.S. should put an end to that relationship without delay--whatever good it once did said:
And you think China, Saudi Arabia or where we get our oil and merchandice from IS a friend of the U.S.? While I don't agree with this at all, they are hardly any worse than Saudi Arabia or China on himan rights violations that is for sure.

No. I don't jump through hoops for ya, bro. You asked for an example, and I gave it. Sorry that you don't know who the Incredible Hulk is...

Would you be upset if she was stepping on the Bible?

You know, I'm not sure I would be because I'm so inured to disrespect--flag-burning and etc.-and because the First Amendment matters.

But would I ever step on a Bible with a disrespectful intention? No, nor would I step on a Quran or any other holy book, even if it were a sacred pagan text. Ever.

I guess Ms. Stilettos thinks she's being "edgy." I feel sorry for her because her identity is known. She's probably going to be marked for life because of what members of her own family, much less the citizenry at large, regard as blasphemy. I don't think she is going to enjoy the notoriety.

Woman Arrested For Tweet Showing Red Stilettos On The Quran
A woman was arrested in Turkey this week after she posted a photo on Twitter of red-stilettoed feet standing on the Quran.
The unnamed woman in her mid-30s was taken into custody in Istanbul on Tuesday on suspicion of blasphemy and inciting religious hatred, Agence France Presse reported. She was released after questioning.
Police launched the investigation after the firebrand mayor of Ankara, Melih Gokcek, filed a legal complaint against her, according to Turkey's Dogan News Agency.
"No one has a right to insult our religion," Gokcek wrote on Twitter, and posted the original photo. Standing or laying shoes on an image is often used as a sign of disrespect in the Middle East, where feet are considered unclean.

Delivering that message this way is a good way to stir up jihadist passions.

Which only goes to show how messed up their beliefs are.
 
She didn't do a very nice thing, but I support her doing it - don't care if it was a Quran or a Bible or any other religious text. That she was arrested for "blasphemy"? Ludicrous....
