Rama dama ding dong

Yesterday NPR had a segment about Radio Islam, and I found myself irritated with its political correctness, presenting the image of Moslems as all decent types. Why not even mention fundamentalist Wahabis as a pernicious influence?

Now today I see Jeff Jarvis writes:

...seeing this [Blessed Ramadan] billboard on I-78 on the way into work gave me a start. On the one hand, yeah, sure, it's a sign of our multifaceted culture, our chunky stew, our steaming melting pot that we have a Ramadan billboard on the way to Newark airport. But then again, as unPC as this is to say, it is also a reminder that many who plotted the attacks on America live right here in New Jersey; the terrorists are our neighbors. Of course, I'm not saying that Muslims are terrorists. But terrorists are Muslims these days and they launched their attack on 9/11 only a stone's throw from this billboard.

Geez, take a pill. Sure, they're all over the place, as bad as Christians, Jews, leftist intellectuals, and cockroaches, but it's a bit of a stretch to be afraid of them.

Dumb joke # 1: The Wahabis are presumably no relation to 娃哈哈 (which brings to mind which character to use to transliterate the bi.)

Dumb joke # 2: Don't sing "Rama lama ding dong"--it's anti-Buddhist.
