I don't have any statistics on it, and am only guided
by hunches and artistics instincts, if you want to call
it that. I would think that Al Quada would not waste
it's time on such things- it sounds more like stuff that
kids would do, or any one of the millions of people
who have reason to be p.o'd at the Religious Right.
IMHO, you can't really profane something that is
only a load of baloney to begin with, not that I would
sanction such things. I think that religion should be
criticized with a bit more dignity, or perhaps ridiculed
with less vulgarity and more taste.
We should probably refer to them as "Naivety" scenes,
which are OK as long as they don't use public funds
and you don't take them too seriously.
