If its not hot cross buns or pigs on banks its some other thing to not upset the muslims. Well now the UK is entertaining the idea of putting little booties on the sniffer dogs so as not to offend muslim sensibilities. This is getting way out of hand. Next thing you know the UK will be thinking about allowing sharia law along side UK common law....Oh wait never mind its already happening.
Who else is gonna get special treatment? When does it end? I'm not one for slipper slope arguments but this getting ridiculous. Eventually its going to buckle under its own PCness.

America isn't exactly any better where a ham sandwich is a hate crime.

quote A leading British imam, Ibrahim Mogra, described the booties as unnecessary. He told the Sunday Times: "I know in the Muslim community there is a hang-up against dogs, but this is cultural. Also, we know the British like dogs; we Muslims should do our bit to change our attitudes."

Let's hope a little common sense prevails.

I don't think common sense is still alive. At least not when it comes to politics.

You eat at a tough deli.

What is it with this? Christians, Mormons, Amish, etc cannot get a lick of respect for what they believe, yet places are bending over backwards for a belief that dogs are dirty and somehow cause harm to a muslim. Why is PC not a 2 way street?

Because when you piss off a bunch of uppity Christians, Mormons, Amish they don't tend to kill people and blow stuff up.

and - the bigger question: why do they move somewhere that is so full of things they dont like??

but - it is human nature to take your environment and wrap it to your will. I have no issue with the making of demands. tho - I do question those who give in. yes, if harmless - why not? we put up with Winter & Spring break instead of Christmas & Easter Vacation. has any government caved to Photo ID yet? everything within reason - and we be OK. Doggy Booties - c'mon. silly - to us, heck yes. tho, I dont see how it'll make dogs ball licking any cleaner....
just wait untill they demand dresses on pigs joke older than our nation - but seems to apply.

A little common sense never does the trick. It takes lots of sense to negate dumb ideas.

Because they think we are wrong and demand we be converted.

lol - well - at that - are they not right? dont we hear it everyday how silly & "going to hell in a handbasket", etc. our society is?

and, I think in our "white world" we call that Missionary work. thats why we have so few indians left - because they wouldnt convert either. dang unclean savages....

funny how its fine for us, isnt it? but - thats the way of things....I can only see thru my eyes and walk in my shoes....

So you have maybe a dozen bombings compared to thousands world wide.

I bet you are really proud of your self.

Do you know what the word "tend" means in the context I used it? If the answer is yes then why would you make this post?

And of those few bombings you pointed out how many were Mormons and how many were Amish?

Was the OK city bombing motivated by religion or something else? Just because Timmy was a christian doesn't mean he blow up the building the building because some one insulted his god. If you are going to bring up comparisons can you at least use ones that are relevant.

Next time you want to try and be clever with relativism at least hash it out first so your argument is full of really big holes.

they used to...before we wrangled them back in line. they used to tie people to posts in public view, and set them aflame. sweet, eh?
in fact - they did so for the EXACT same reason - unclean.

fear not - the muslims will be wrangled into shape as well. its just religous maniacs. they come in all flavors.

Thor and his mighty hammer will knock 'em all in shape.

Good point. But you have to admit it's a lot more random with Christians. With Muslims, it's pretty much a guarantee.
If you say "Jesus is a poopie head" you'll offend some Christians.
If you say the same thing about Islam's favorite Mo, there will be a fatwah calling for your death and there will be random attacks and bombings worldwide due to "Muslim outrage^(c)."

Yes its the people who were maniacs before someone tried to help them by introducing religion. None of what they did was what the bible teaches or Jesus said was right. If you don't follow strive to those things you cannot call yourself one.

only today. 100-200 years ago - yes "Jesus is a poopie head" would get your head removed - or worse. the christians have been just as violent in the past. as have the jews. all of the God trilogy books have been twisted into saying it is OK to kill the unclean. the jew book, the christ book, the mohamed book - they are all used as an excuse to kill kill kill.

it is up to Thor to hammer down this sillyness.

The Bible says kill non Christians? Show me the quote.
