  • Fatwa-worthy material in Griffin’s “Allegedly”

    It’s worth pointing out that if the Great Muslim Menace were as threatening in real life as it is in Kirchick’s ‘lil head, they would have certainly targeted Kathy Griffin with extreme prejudice back in 2004. In her performance “Allegedly” she has a bit that basically depicts Muslim men (in general) as hell bent on female genital mutilation and the suppression of women’s rights. After she makes some graphic and sweeping statements along these lines, she said that she had “crossed the line” and jokingly backtracked, referring to the previously-maligned Muslim men as just “peaceful farmers.” I wonder how she’s been able to make so many live appearances the last three years? I mean, how can someone on the D-list afford to have 24-hour bodyguards?
