Peppa Pig racism row...

Nice haircut.

 

2 or 3 styles in one horrendous cut

 

I tend to think there is a lot more to this than is reported - it's usually the case.

 

I feel exactly the same way. Something not right with this story.

 

"Nick, 24, who was returning from a hospital visit in Sheffield for epileptic tests, said: “It was so embarrassing, everyone on the bus was watching."

What is an epileptic test? Does this mean a test for epilepsy?

This story has got bells on. Something is not being said here. It's like when we get the annual story of Birmingham/Leicester/Bradford Council cancelling Christmas in favour of a more inclusive 'winterval' celebration because they are 'afraid' to offend Muslims. That always turns out to be true.

 

What makes me laugh about the whole pig thing and why muslims get offended by them is that if they read any books on the said subject they would find that ala making a wise choice at the time told them to avoid pork not because it was unclean or against the so called rules, rather under the conditions that they lived in, yes the hot weather soon turned the meat rancid thus rendering it unclean,and causing illness if eaten, red meats on the other hand, could be hung to mature.
and whilst on the subject of their prophet he was actually a clever lad, started of as a warlord.

what they dont tell you is around 745 bc i think it was, he and a few of his tribe realized money could be made from the traders that where passing through their lands with goods
by taxing them and giving safe passage he and his tribe became powerfull and thus made the rules

along the years certain rules became gospel and turned on their heads to serve those in charge at the time.

yes ala whilst being a clever lad, started of in a life of sleaze and corruption, but they forget this along the way.
part of history that never gets the like of day.

Whilst im no racist, its stuff like this that actually plays in to the hands of those that are and thus fuels the argument doncaster airport that way.

 

I lived, studied and worked in Bradford for almost 10 years. For the most part, I lived in areas that were almost exclusively Muslim, but for a few student houses like ours. I had a couple of Muslim friends, a lot of Muslim acquaintances, fellow Muslim students, Muslim work colleagues, Muslim bosses, Muslim landlords... The majority of people I spoke to on a daily basis were Muslim. When you spend a lot of time with people from a different background you talk about your differences in an effort to learn about one another and understand one another. Usually when you're getting pissed.

The vast majority of Muslims I knew didn't eat pork, but by no means all. Some wouldn't handle it all, but that certainly wasn't the majority. However, I never met any Muslim who is offended by pigs. I never heard it implied that any Muslim anywhere is offended by pigs.

I wouldn't eat sewer rat. For much the same reason that Muslims don't eat pigs. But I'm not offended by their existence. I don't like them, but they don't offend me. I didn't switch over as soon as Roland Rat came on the TV. Actually, I did, but that was because he was ****.

I've heard it said, many times, that if someone who follows Islam has a beer or the odd bacon sandwich they're "not a proper Muslim". We poke fun at their faith, then call them out if they don't stick to it 'religiously'. We have this idea that all Muslims are devout and if they stray from the path in anyway we can label them as a fraud.

There's a list of what you are allowed and not allowed to eat in the Bible. No one accuses Christians of not being proper believers if they don't stick to that. The Bible is full of things you can and can't do. Many are ignored, even by some deeply religious Christians.

We accept that Christians can show their faith in a variety of ways and understand that the commitment they show to their religion differs considerably from one believer to the next. The same is true of Muslims, they're people just like us, with the same insecurities and contradictions, but with the same love and kindness too.

I highly doubt the accuracy of the report in The Star, but even if it's bang on the money it doesn't mean our country is going to pot. There's the odd nut job in the Muslim community, just like there are in the traditional British communities and there are those who won't bother confronting them in order to have an easy life. It's not the end of the world or the end of our society, it's one incident that is completely out of the ordinary that the majority of people from all religions, and those of us who don't believe, think is ******* barmy. If it's true, which it probably isn't.

But this is the problem, whether this story is true or not is another matter entirely.

If a white English man, did something to upset someone on a bus, the man would be villanised. If a Muslim upsets someone, the entire Muslim race is villanised. And although it's not the newspaper who's pointing the finger, they're certainly trying to influence people to think this way.

It's the same with these ISIS militants (or whatever they're called). They're extremists who hide behind the religion to try and justify their actions, these aren't the views of any other Muslim group around the world. This is how racism starts. Tarring everyone with the same brush. This is why everyone is living in fear in this country.

 

I think you mean "Allah" rather than "Ala", and Allah is God, it's the same God that Christians and Jews also worship. I think you are meaning the Prophet Mohammad who said to not eat pork.

I agree that it is stories such as this that plays into the hands of groups such as Britain First, which is why it's important to learn the actual facts of the case and not assume it's as it is written.

 

The vast majority of muslims I know are,like myself,shopkeepers.All of them handle and sell pork goods,cooked hams,raw meat,pork scratchings etc..they all sell alcohol as well.
in fact the independent wholesalers I use for alcohol are all muslims,from Pakistan.

make of this what you will,maybe some arnt as bound by the religion as others or as is more likely, if theres money involved,screw religion.
