Islam, the Religion of Peace

Maybe they're really objecting about the fact that the cartoon was printed on page 3 and thus insinuates that they're all a bunch of tits!

Thats food for thought DA, mind you I will shortly be publishing my manisfesto for World Peace through Nudism, but you will have to wait till next week as the weekend of the murky Brussels underworld is calling me.

Good Weekend tout le monde !

Drove round Brussels yesterday evening. That bloody ring road is lethal. Some stupid bint decided she was in the wrong lane and proceeded to brake right in front of me and then change lanes.

Me, I'm off down the Greek now to have a few beers. Bier zeit

In the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, protesters stormed the Danish embassy shouting "Allahu Akbar" - God is Greatest. They smashed up the lobby with bamboo sticks and threw chairs, before pelting the coat-of-arms outside with with rotten eggs and tomatoes and tearing down and burning a Danish flag.

I can't help but wonder whether they buy good eggs and leave them to rot (thereby showing intent) or whether someone is doing a roaring trade in bad eggs?

I would imagine so, considering most flags are tear and flame resistant, hence someone obviously manufactures flags specifically designed to tear and burn well then why not a manufacturer of rotten eggs?

I loathe this religion more and more and it has very little to do with terrorist incidents. It has nothing to do with unbalanced far right propoganda either. Most of my dislike comes from reading Islamic websites, not just the extremist ones, but almost equally those moderate ones. You just have to read them carefully to see the meaning behind the fine words.

One has to observe that with just a little browsing on the net, even on those Islamic sites that are trying to present Islam as a tolerant and democratic religion, one soon comes across the statement that some Islamic schools of thought believe that atheists should be killed. One has to conclude from the prevalence of this statement that this must be more than a mere tiny handful of outcast extremists.

Perhaps we are supposed to hope that if we get an Islamic republic we will get that much vaunted "tolerant" form of Islam that does not actually kill atheists and allows Christians and other faiths to worship, provided of course they creep about and keep very quiet about it to avoid offending Muslims.

Islamic society is very democratic too, everyone, even non Muslims have an equal say in society. Provided that say is only about the interpretation and administration of the imposed Islamic principles.

From the murcy world of the Pruffock Social Observatory, my take on this whole epoisode is that the anger is not so much as a result of the cartoon, but the pereception from the Muslim community seems to be that the so called War on Terror, with the recent devlopments in Iran,now seem now to be perceived as a War on Islam.

Whatever the reality of the above , that perception if fueliing the hostile resentment which we now see, if Iran is attacked perhaps we might witness a rather bitter and violent global Jihad in response, I do hope I am incorrect in this observation.

Time Will Tell

I agree with you Alf, I think a religious war (for want of a better phrase) is highly likely. The arab states are highly volatile at the best of times but it is obvious that they are under increased scrutiny & pressure from the west, especially the media. Personally I think that the Government has done much to fuel bad feeling between Muslims and non-muslims by trying to placate them all the time. The average muslim on the street feels as though he is constantly having to defend his position and the average non-muslim wonders why the muslims are getting all this special treatment. I also think that the Government are currently sending out mixed signals - UK Muslims are great and should be made to feel special but anywhere else they are a threat to life and limb. If they practised what they preached and treated everyone equally there would be no problem in the UK. Oh, except when Bliar and Bush decide to bomb the f**k out of Iran obviously

What I love about muslims is the sheer scale of their hypocrisy...

Just watched a news bulletin about the demonstrations outside the Danish embassy in London...

Of course, dozens of hyperactive muslims waving placards such as 'Down with Europe', 'Europe your end is near', 'Behead all European blasphemers'....

SO WHAT THE FECK ARE THEY DOING LIVING IN A WESTERN DEMOCRACY???

Get the hell out of this country and back to the cesspit your ideology comes from. If you want to stone women to death and cut off peoples heads dont do it in the UK, do it in the third world morass of poverty you belong in.

What gets me is the burning and tearing up of a Danish flag.

Which is essentially a representation of the Christian cross.

Yeps hypocrisy.

From Channel 4 News:

'In jakarta they called for the assasination of the Danish ambassador'

A placard stating 'Freedom go to hell'....


Lets face it, the West and islam are mutually exclusive... have been for centuries, and mass immigration has simply been a disaster.

We may have laughed at France's recent problems, but frankly anywhere you have large numbers of muslims the same potential for disaster exists.

If people dont like the Western lifestyle, they should leave. We should leave their countries alone, and just nuke them if they try their old expansionist tricks that led to the Crusades (yes, peeps, muslims invaded Western Europe centuries earlier, and we just fought back).

Some moron on tv was just shown heckling the leader of his mosque that he would rather die that be insulted. Well, maybe they should just form an orderly queue and we should oblige. Not by killing them, but giving them a one way ticket to an islamic state. Then of course, wait for them to try to crawl back and claim asylum...
