(RNS) “The terrorist Jabba the Hutt likes to smoke a hookah and have his victims killed. It is clear that the ugly figure of Jabba and the whole scene smacks of racial prejudice and vulgar insinuations against Asians and Orientals as people with deceitful and criminal personalities.”
- The Turkish Cultural Community of Austria, in a statement quoted by The Telegraph, about a Lego toy set of Jabba the Hutt’s palace that the Muslims say looks too much like the revered Hagia Sophia mosque in Istanbul.

I’ve seen the Hagia Sophia;one could just as easily say the architecture of our local Methodist church resembles it by too much. Poor ignorant people ~ so quick to take offense at any slight, real or imagined….so slow to appreciate that anyone else’ culture may contain equally valid social/religious relevance to its home society. And FYI Jabba was NOT a TERRORIST; he was more of a local Mafioso. Why do these people remind me so much of every other Muslim extremist group? And why do they wonder that many in the West cannot distinguish one radical group from another, when they all spout the same insane gibberish?!
