Hate Jokes

No, I don't hate jokes; I hate hate jokes. Here's one that was posted in one of my favorite groups:

"Don't forget to mark your calendars.
As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked. He must commit suicide if he does. So next Saturday at 4 PM Eastern Time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort.

All patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove they are not Muslims, and to demonstrate they think its okay to see nude women other than their wife, and to show support for all American women. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack at your side is further proof of your anti-Muslim sentiment. The American government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity.

God bless America ! "

Any difference between this "joke" and, say, a racist joke?

That's a joke? That's not a joke. I love jokes. That's not a joke. A joke goes...... A priest, a rabbi and a giraffe walk into a bar.....

Nope, just like racist jokes, I can't come up with a giggle. I think they were serious.

I think this just plain wrong on so many levels!

Like red, I can't even muster a polite smile much less a giggle.

Nope, no difference, and it's not a joke is "hate" poorly disguised as a joke.

You're right, Rhesus, it's just, plain bullshit. I know, however, that there are plenty of folks who would laugh.

I don't know that I would call it "hate", but I would certainly call it sexist, rude, and socially unacceptable!
