WTF? France starting up?

[Mailman]

Whats more telling is the reaction to those images being posted. Murder threats, bombing scares, intimidation...so much for being the religion of peace.

They are brave, the French, aren't they?

[xoggoth]

That posting was intended to be humourous DA? Darn, I was just about to say I agreed with it entirely.

[Mailman]

I see the editor from le frog has been fired by the owner (who is an egyptian ).

So much for freedom of the press eh.

Mailman

[Rebecca Loos]

well he made a stand and that cost him his job

respect to that particular frog

as Mailman said, the arab's reaction is quite telling....
mind you, it may only be their governments and press (same thing) that are up in arms, maybe their population do not give a sh1t - after all, our own press is not adverse to presenting things in a particular angle suiting them either, are they..........

read what another British (AL-ARAB AL-ALAMIYAH ) newspaper says :

"The printing of offensive cartoons by the Danish newspaper is an insult to Islam and has crystallized the conflict between Europe and the Arabs. "

[Mailman]

If anything what these cartoons have highlighted is just how inflexible and unreasonable Islam is!

I still believe the dutch are quite a relaxed people...its just the others they have let in that still believe they are living in crapblackistan that are inflexible. These people need to realise they aint in their home countries anymore and if they find it so intolerable they can always move back to where they came from (bet that will shut a lot of them up!).

Unsure if that observation is based upon a weekend in Amsterdams coffee shops, but I can tell you that having worked in various cities inthe NL over a period of three years the Dutch are far from relaxed.

They are petty, vindictive and have never a good word to say about anybody,they spend the whole day complaining, which seems to be a national sport or droning on and on and on at pointless endless meetings.

I have added the Netherlands to my blacklist accordingly.

NB There are also coffeshops in Brussels, however they exist unofficaly, so you are unliely to know about then unless you frequent the Brussels underworld.

Undercover of the night I have discovered two in my area, one which is mainly full of 70 year old Morrocans selling hashish, and another with young chaps with baseball caps selling home grown grass.

If course I plan to make a citizens arrest,manyana man.

Careful Mailman - with remarks like that you will have a team of men hut hut hutting down the side of your building and forcefully inviting you to spend some time at his Blair's pleasure for inciting something

Aye JG

Perhaps Mailman could be detained under the Dangerously Disororganised Criminal Act.
