Sweden: Anti-Christian, Anti-Hindu Jeans Good, Anti-Muslim Jeans Bad
Sure Mr. Atldax, attack the people who won't murder you: Swedish Designer Makes Waves With Satanic Jeans
Boras, Sweden - A Satanic logo, with a cross turned upside down on the forehead of a skull, has increased sales of a new jeans line among Swedish teens.Designer Bjorn Atldax, who claims to be a devout anti-Christian, told RNS that the logo on the Cheap Monday jeans is intended to make Christians angry.
He said his disdain for religion influenced the creation of the emblem. "I think organized religion is not good for the society. I don't oppose people believing in God privately but I hate congregations," Atldax said.
Atldax termed the Bible as "probably the most dangerous book ever written" and that it is "filled with a lot of contradictory things."
Another ignoramus who has not bothered to read the Qu'ran.
[...]The designer plans to create logos mocking, and critical of, other religions. "I plan to make something anti-Hindu because I think its caste system is awful. I am not considering any anti-Islamic work now because there are already a lot of anti-Islamic sentiments," he said.
This reminds me of a short exchange from the now-defunct animated show Futurama. The main character Fry is standing besides his robot friend Bender, when news comes that, in order to save the earth from an Alien invasion, all robots have been drafted into the military. Bender the robot reacts:
Bender: "I'm a conscientious objector!"
Fry: "A what?"
Bender: "You know, a coward."
That's exactly what Mr. Atldax is, hiding behind that sorry excuse of "not piling on" Islam.
