When we heard that an Orange County city councilman named his dog Muhammad to make a political statement about freedom of speech in America, we were a little wistful.

After all, Latinos used to be the favorite whipping boys of wacko O.C. right wingers. We're lonely: We haven't been bashed in, like, days.

San Juan Capistrano Councilman Derek Reeve ignited a firestorm earlier this month when he let out at a council meeting that he had named his dog Muhammad. In Islam ...

... the dog is a dirty beast. This would be taken as a deep show of disrespect by many of the Muslim faith.

Reeve says he named his dog Muhammad to teach his children a lesson about freedom of speech in America.

Derek Reeve.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, along with fellow Capistrano Councilman Larry Kramer, are asking for him to apologize.

According to a post subsequently removed at Patch, Reeve mentioned during the Sept. 6 meeting that "Muhammad is the bitch" of his two new Basset Hounds, which he named "Muhammad and America."

Later he reportedly backpedaled. He was quoted as saying, "America is actually the female dog," according to the Orange County Register.

Okay, Derek. We all know who the bitch with his foot in his mouth is here. Bad councilman.

er, Jesus is a real name, child. It's the Christ part that has religious meaning. But you wouldn't know that as a general ignoranti. Not as if you would know whether that is a real word.

but freaking sweet, yo! Here's to our common intellect!

Maybe some women that have had acid thrown on their faces, or their noses and ears cut off, that have been gang-raped, might have a political attitude that does not comport with yours.

Here's a big hint: in the good world of equal justice before the law, you don't need to guard your family's honor so viciously. Imagine that! Your life doesn't depend on the a-holes that live next to you, trying to steal your stuff. In America, our courts, for the most part, keep you safe from the average person's creepy takeover.

Furthermore in America we will NOT allow our selves to be ruled by a murderously violent stone-age cult that seeks to destroy all critics and squash individualism while loathing dogs (and women) as inferior unclean (well, they can be smelly sometimes but then so are we, and that's what baths are for) beings ... = islam aka religion of peace which literally means SUBMIT NOW INFERIOR BITCHFucking cowards! Afraid of freedom of thought, originality, art, and self expression.FUCK 'EM ALL!

How many children should we kill in order to enforce the fatwas?

Our Great Nation was built on the value of respect and religious pluralism. Every body should support Mayor for his voice on equal rights, religions harmony for All Americans, including Muslims, and all other religions. These types of comments are against our American Values and Respects.

Our nation was built on Judeo-Christian values, not on Muslim values. We tolerate Muslims only so long as they fit into our culture and melting pot. We do not tolerate the extremist Muslim fanatics who think mutilating women or blowing up schoolchildren are valid activities. Let's keep it real.

Lesson learned: there are limits to free speech. Many will find this distasteful, many will find this reprehensible, a few will find this courageous. I don't think this ends well politically for Reeve. Recall that the creator of "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" attempted to undo her involvement after receiving threats to her life, including a fatwa by Anwar al-Awlaki who said, "The medicine prescribed by the Messenger of Allah is the execution of those involved."

We're dealing with people who think lynch mobs are a good idea. A strong front is the best front.

Good for him. I'm tired of placating the muslim hoards. Islam is a religion of hatred and violence and they learned it from Muhammad. Call a spade a spade.
