Renton 17633 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Anyone see 'Travels with My Beard' on BBC3 last night? Interesting like. It was about a Sikh who grew a beard in the wake of the London bombings to see what reaction he would get to looking like a Muslim. 88598[/snapback] and guess what................................................... he had alot sof seating space on public transport 88603[/snapback] Aye, he had a rucksack, a beard and he was Asian. No problem getting a seat on the tube 88605[/snapback] Seriously, would you sit next to a muslim with a ruckpack on the tube? I'd think twice. However, in his case I'd probably be consoled by the turban and guess he was sikh anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 and got to meet many many police officers too I understand 88608[/snapback] Aye, it was quite funny when he was saying, 'do I look dodgy?', 'Should I take my cap off?' He also went to Beirut to meet that bloke from the Tottenham Mosque who was barred from returning to the UK. He seemed like a loathsome character like.

Rob W 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 What is complete bollocks? It's what they FEEL - which may not have much relation to actuality I agree - but look in the UK at the green ink brigade who see a Yuropean conspiracy behind EVERYTHING rationality doesn't come into it unfortunately and the french mob demolished a Mc Donalds a couple of years ago - hardly "slight antipahy" IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 31 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 So lets get this right, they are protesting about a danish cartoon of Mohammed being portrayed in a number of ways that they object to. A number of these suggest violence. They disagree to this by burning flags and dummies as well as mass protest? Right..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not comparable. Muslims feel threatened by free speech, that's the conclusion I am gathering. Well, without wanting to sound like Enoch Powell, if they don't like it, they can lump it imo. It's about the only thing I am willing to fight for, even die for! I'd rather not mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeazesMag 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Well said that man! It's offensive to Muslims - agreed. But in this world you can't account for taste if its not illegal then just don't read it 88546[/snapback] thats my point, if it's offensive to muslims don't read it.....and don't preach to others who have a right to read it ... must be nice to live in a muslim dominated society Rob don't you think, all we have to do is keep giving in to them ....

Smooth Operator 10 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I love religion me, watch out for the turbanators to attack, batten down the hatches and steer clear of public transport is my advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Over 50,000 people texted in to FiveLive yesterday on this issue, mostly saying the cartoons shouldn't be shown, mostly Muslims I'm guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17633 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Denmark is bemused apparently. So am I. What a ridiculous over-reaction - boycotting an entire nation because of a few cartoons. It's so pathetic it's unreal, and is yet more evidence that the free west cannot accomodate this oppressive religion. I'm with Leazes on this one and think a stand needs to be made. No apologies should be made because none are called for. If we start censoring ourselves for the sake of risking upsetting a few muslims, where will it end? The same applies to any religion though, such as those sikhs in Birmingham or the religious right in the USA. Freedom of speech must prevail.

Rob W 0 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 "I'm with Leazes on this one and think a stand needs to be made" Like Custer eh? can't get the picture out of my head of Leazes with his flowing golden locks in his buckskin shirt back to back (no Arsenal hanky panky here) with Renton in his "Broon Ale" top - fighting thousands of screaming jihadis, all waving their DSS Allowance Books on a hill top near Four Lane Ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
