Why only the Daily Mail?

Having read a Daily Mail link supplied by another ABer , I did a Google search to try and get another National Newspaper's report on it, but surprise, surprise I could not find one.

The question I wish to ask is why, isn't this disturbing report important enough to be reported by them?

[squarebear]

I assume beacuse making a poster isn't really newsworthy?

[dotty.]

Actually, the law of percentages, or averages, or coinsidence, would tend to support their claims, no doubt most/all of those events will occur on the 25th of december, as they are likely to occur on every other day of the year, therefore they are actually using the fact that Christians celebrate Christmas as an excuse, are they doing the same poster for Ramadan cos that's just another day of the week too (or is it 3 days?)

[jno]

a poster protesting at domestic violence, vandalism, paedophilia and drugs? I would have thought the Mail would approve of its sentiments, even if lefty rags like the Times do not. Do you?

[jno]

dotty, Ramadan's a whole month.

The first one I could be bothered to C & P but not the only one, AOG.

An American who came to Britain with the (unstated) aim of evangalising friends and relations (but stumbled at the outset when a lack of the visitor's solid knowledge of the Bible being pointed out) left to return the US unsuccessful. In that individual's eyes and mind the people concerned "hate Americans" as she quite openly stated it.

This was not reported in/on any newspaper, radio or TV - why not ?

Answer: It comes as little surprise that there are some narrow minded/ignorant/bigoted/angry/deranged people (individuals or small groups) in this world and it certainly is not considered news - or at least by very, very few.

[dotty.]

I don't understand.

good thinking, dotty, you can't eat during the hours of dayllight but there aren't many of those during December.

Well my second question was to be "Why haven't anyone been arrested for inciting inciting racial hatred?

But it appears some on here are not offended by the offensive actions of some Muslims, and are prepared to put up with anything.

Therefore in this instance judging by some on AB, the charge of inciting inciting racial hatred would not stick, 'mores the shame'.

Well, I'm still waiting for their posters to appear in my neck of the woods, so their claim of putting up "thousands around the UK" doesn't appear to have materialised yet.

Ah, well, guess I'll just have to keep celebrating Christmas until they do, then?

Here is one from this time last year, seems like we don't like to offend.

[squarebear]

It seems fairly obvious what they meant.

So you are one of these then?

"Who cares, just as long as it is not in my back-yard?"

[dotty.]

a NIMBY you mean AOG lol that's a blast from the past. anyway, chill out, if they aren't makin headlines their making no impact

*tut 'They're'

Because

A person who uses threatening words or behaviour, or displays any written material which is threatening, is guilty of an offence if he intends thereby to stir up religious hatred.

This poster is not threatening - it points out perceived weaknesses in Christianity.

In the same way you and others here point out perceived weaknesses in Islam - such as the treatment of women or stoning.

If simply criticising a religion were grounds for this charge - you'd be doing time now.

Can't you see it is insulting to Christianity, that may not matter to such as you but it does to many others.

If a similar insult was made against Islam, there would be fatwas taken out at least.

The police would certainly have taken more interest in the matter, if it had been an insult against Islam.

[jackthehat]

AOG - Are you a devout and practising Christian ? Or are you getting all offended on their behalf ?

Do you think that anyone is going to be swayed by this religionist propanganda ?
The Muslims will simply read it and agree with it.........the Christians will make thoughtful faces and concede that the printers may have a point but be busy pointing their fingers elsewhere anyway..........and the rest of will just shrug our shoulders and get on with our day.

Has anyone actualy seen one? Thousands??

"lefty rags like the Times" HaHa
