If it had been about Jesus it wouldn't have been banned no matter how many people complained.

[stokemaveric]

at the end of the day it doesnt take much for the muslim population to take to the streets and condone violence,executions etc etc..........

That is not true, tigerlily - if enough Christians protest, things happen:

Pressure from Christians has caused 11 regional theatres to pull out of showing Jerry Springer � The Opera, its producers said yesterday.

Ethel - Could you please keep quiet as we are only supposed to speak about Muslims and Islam here. Any thing else is irrelevant.

[admarlow]

...acording to who keyplus

[jake-the-peg]

Bet you a fiver you don't read it

[keyplus90]

Of course not as I do not waste my time on cooked stories just as I don't believe in reading about Super man or Spider man.

A joke:

Q. What's the difference between hard line Muslim fundamentalists and Little Englanders?

A. Absolutely nothing...they both want to indoctrinate the rest us with there increasingly dull rants that the rest of us couldn't give a flying fig about.

D'ya geddit?

[jake-the-peg]

Actually I meant admarlow as he was apparently going to buy it!

[admarlow]

ill give it a go lol

[Haggisdj]

There is a difference sp1814. Little Englanders have a thousand and more years heritage in this country. Little Englanders have brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents who fought and died to save' their Little England from from oppression whilst Muslim fundamentalists want to remove everything that doesn't fit their distorted view of the world.

[jake-the-peg]

1,000 years? you think so?

Half the little Englanders came in on earlier waves of immigration without even knowing it.

Great program a year or so back where they did DNA swabs from a bunch of right wingers and found a lot of them had very non-English heritage.

One even tried to sue to stop the program

Ethel that is rare.
But could it be something to do with the fact that Christians and Hindus and so on do not threaten violence when ever some one even mentions the name Mohammad.

[admarlow]

I don't remeber the WI blowing up any busses, burning flags or plotting to cut off soliders heads on the internet either, so the two groups could be said to have a few differences?

[jake-the-peg]

Oh they both oppose freedom of speech.

The WI famously slow hand clapped Blair and stopped him from speaking at their conference that time.

I've yet to see a naked islamic extreemest calander though

[joggerjayne]

He was a great boxer.

And he's done so much for underprivileged black Americans.

I think it's a shame the book's been delayed. I bet it will be fascinating to read.

[admarlow]

childish comparison the the book pblishers being fire bombed...
A member of staff at its UK publisher in London was recently targeted in a suspected petrol bomb attack. - bbc

[jake-the-peg]

Lets talk about blowing people to bits then shall we Raggy.

How many Iraqi civillians do you think got blown to bits by British and American forces during the invasion?

Current figures have 655,000 deaths on the hands of allied forces.

What's that? 300 times the death toll inthe twin towers.

You still thinking in terms of "us good guys, them bad guys"?

Grow up and stop reading the propaganda
