Marx v. Mohammed
"In the left corner, in the red shorts, we have the Rabble-rouser of the Rhineland, the Terror of Trier, KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRLLLL MARRRX! And in the right corner, in the green shorts, worn over the black salwar kameez, we have the Defender of the Faith, the Mac Daddy of Mecca, the MUUUUHHH-HHHAMMMAD!" I thought it a Kapital joke today when I read about how some Muslim extremist fanatics were decrying the World Cup and the 'opium of football', and a 'plot aiming to corrupt Muslim youth and district them from jihad.' It reminded me of the dour London-based German Karl Marx, who decried religions like Islam 'the opiate of the people'. It seems that the narcotic effect of religion (although fundamentalist Islam seems a bit more of a stimulant) is unequal to the oblivion-inducing result of the beautiful game. What's wrong with a little opiate now and again, anyway? posted by HK Dave on 06.24.06 at 04:07 PM in the
