So lemmie get this straight. A pig head at a mosque is a hate crime that we are all supposed to be outraged over but this is just some good laughs right?

I'm not even religious but the effing hypocrisy on this is stunning!
We walk on eggshells not to dare offend Islam but we can all have good laugh at another religion's expense and and then snicker when it offends people.

The difference is, if anyone did a similar depiction of Mohammed, Muslims would be calling for them to be killed for it.

Someone elses property (pig head) vs his own property (zombie Jesus). Why shouldn't he be allowed to decorate his own yard how he wants?

I'm aware of that. So I suppose if someone depicted Mohammad on their own property in an offensive way, the reaction would be the same, right?
There was a Pastor in Florida who was arrested for just threatening to burn Korans.

There is a HUGE double standard here. You are supposed to walk on eggshells around Islam but Christianity is fair game.

Come on, conservatives; this Zombie Jesus is on private property! Don't you all worship that concept? (No pun intended) Private Property über alles!
Jesus may or may not have been a zombie, but most of his followers sure as hell are.

I wish I could give this a thousand likes!

You laugh it off, but you know good and we'll if I put a Mohammed scene up in my yard, perhaps of him raping a goat or eating bacon, I'd be prosecuted for a hate crime.

The double standard is amazing.

Had someone put up anything remotely offensive of Mohammed, leftists would be falling over themselves to call the homeowner an islamaphobic bigot and get the person prosecuted for a hate crime.

But hey, it's fine to poke at and insult Jesus; unlike leftists' new favorite religion, the Christians won't be rioting in the streets or murdering people over it.

So you would have approved of Terry Jones' right to burn copies of the Koran on his private property, right?
