Those Peace Loving, Tolerant, Pluralistic Muslims in Action
I'm sure you mean Winterval jumpers, ladymuck. Don't want to cause offence now, do we?
My bad!
As an aside, if all these johnny foreigners are non-Christians why do they still shut up shop at Easter and Christmas? Is there a law that says they cannot trade?
This sort of thing never happens in moderate Islamic countries according to Fungus.
The plain fact is that anyone who sees Islam as a tolerant religion is living in a dream world.
I plan to write a book called 'The Constable code'
Its about a new interpretation of 'The Haywain' and the plot is that Mohammed (pbuh) was a sheep sh@gger and that his decendants are around today , somewhere in Wales. A major plot line features the 'Holy Grill' which is a lamb-chop shaped receptacle which the prophet (pbuh) used to use to keep his lamb chop. The Holy Grill was lost for a while before it came into the hands of The Knights of the Simon Templar whose grand wizard is known today as the head of the Orange order or Ian Paisley.
The knights fought a series of campaigns against 'The champions' before they were defeated in the last ratings war and they slipped quietly into history until the links that are contained in the painting were recognised for what they are. Many moslems will take offence at this untill they realise that it is a work of fiction and not based on fact at all. And so will my book be.

Surely you'll want to set this in New Zealand. Just thinking ahead for the film.
There were scenes of panic at the Council of State - the top administrative court - as the injured were carried out of the building.
The attacker, believed to be a lawyer, was detained by police and is being questioned but his motive is not clear.
One of the wounded judges had been criticised for ruling against teachers wearing Muslim headscarves.
Judge Mustafa Birden made headlines earlier this year when he ruled that schoolteachers, who are banned from wearing the Islamic headscarf at work, could not cover their heads even on their way to school.
The attacker was apparently carrying papers that identified him as a lawyer - though it is not known if these were genuine - and made it past security guards undetected.
He reportedly shouted "Allahu akbar" (God is great) as he fired his weapon.
Tansel Colasan, deputy head of the Council of State, said the attacker yelled "I am the soldier of God", and said he was carrying out the attack to protest against the court's decision on headscarves.

Snaw seemed to be doing quite a lot of hand-wringing as well. He reckons there are people on this board who think it is reasonable to execute people who practice non-Christian religions.
