I (heart) u

Yesterday I saw a bumper sticker that said "I (heart) the Nation of Islam."

Doesn't that seem kind of weird? I think I'd expect something more like "I have solemnly dedicated myself to the Nation of Islam" or "The Nation of Islam will kick your ass."

I don't generally associate Malcolm X's religious organization with the sort of sentiment one sees used to indicate people's favorite dog breeds -- I (heart) Boston Terriers! I (heart) Shih Tzus!

On the other hand, Jen, with that silly bow tie he sports, Louis Farrakhan seems to be trying to fool anyone who doesn't know better into thinking that he runs the Westminster Dog Show. So who knows?

What I wonder, is if people who actually live in an Islamic nation like, say, any Islamic nation share such dime store sentiments. I would tend to doubt it. I mean, forgetting about the fact that the jihadists probably don't care too much about what you think of their driving if they're flying planes into buildings. . .in countries where roadside bombs seem to be as popular as iPods are here, there's probably little need for bumper stickers.
