AI Thread Summary
The Obama-Joker face meme, created by artist Firas Alkhateeb, has sparked controversy, particularly with its association with the term "Socialism." The image has gained popularity at healthcare protests and has been widely circulated, prompting discussions about its political implications. Some view it as a humorous social phenomenon, while others criticize it as disrespectful and a reflection of political divisiveness. Alkhateeb, who claims to have created the image as a Photoshop tutorial, has stated that he supports Obama, complicating the meme's interpretation. The ongoing debate highlights the intersection of art, politics, and public perception in contemporary discourse.

You can never go wrong with Jack Handey's Deep Thoughts.

Also, you can never go wrong with a healthy amount of misanthropy. Well-cultivated contempt for humanity as a whole (with exceptions for individuals and a few certain groups) is a sign of wisdom. Although it's better to be cheerful about it.

I have no reason to believe that a muslim would not participate in forums where anon congregate though. I obviously do so myself and I have seen plenty of people jump into the random flame wars regarding the middle east who claim to be muslim.
Droping by to argue I don't doubt, but Anonymous's general irreverence towards everything doesn't rightly jive with religion.
