Just imagine if there was an asian and an african fighting each other on the pavement, with knives.

If I stepped in to stop it, it may be racist towards one or the other, and I'm not getting nicked, so I'd be forced to leave them to stab each other to fcuking death.

Which is a shame

have to admit a little giggle as my first impression of this wasnt as it was meant

Islamic tradition warns Muslims against contact with dogs because they are seen as impure.

keep to the virgins eh?


if its that big an issue why would Islamists live in a dog loving country?

First of all, I certainly agree that the Muslim councillor's comments and the Tayside police's "apology" are very, very silly.

But all the reports of this that I found used terms like "sparked outrage", "offended", etc., and I really can't find any evidence that anybody was outraged or offended. The quotes from the Muslim councillor, although very silly (partly because he should have been able to predict the consequences) certainly don't seem at all "outraged". Stripped of all the tabloidese rhetoric, this story is:

"Somebody says that some Muslims won't want to put up pictures of dogs in their shops, so he says that if you want them to display your adverts then it might be a good idea to give them adverts without pictures of dogs on them."

this is it - gets people reading though, which is the aim (rather than being factual, accurate and worhtwhile)

It's not like me to post a story from the Daily Mail to show "just how stupid the world can get", but I'll make an exception. No idea how much truth there is in it, and it doesn't make me froth at the mouth with indignation or anything ... just makes me bemused ..,

On the subject of the latest shite from the pc brigade I read in yesterday's Sunday Times it has been suggested that when sniffer dogs go into muslim houses looking for explosives/drugs etc they will require rubber boots on all four feet to avoid upsetting religious sensitivities.

nothing in the bible or the koran that prohibts gambling my friend

The Qur'an tells Muslims not to eat pork, drink wine, gamble or do anything that will damage their health.

[staffy]

"They ask thee concerning wine and gambling. Say: "In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit." They ask thee how much they are to spend; Say: "What is beyond your needs." Thus doth God Make clear to you His Signs: In order that ye may consider- (The Noble Quran, 2:219)"
"O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper. Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of God, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain? (The Noble Quran, 5:90-91)"
As we clearly see from the above Noble Verses, Allah Almighty considered gambling as the work of Satan. Satan is very tempting. Many times we humans can not resist his temptations from doing evil things in life, such as illegal sex, alcohol, bribery, mistreatment of other people, etc....

ok, but nothing in the bible

[Cassius Marcellus]

I really don't see the fuss, they're not harming anyone, I remember playing black at the flamingo one night with a guy in a darth vader costume.

Whatever floats their boat
