I'll Take The Good With The Bad Any Day

After posting a video that has no doubt given you some at least subconscious hatred for Muslims as an extension of your hatred for the Morons at Concordia, here's a story about hyper-sensitive liberals in Britain getting set straight by a prominent leader of the Muslim community:

[O]rganisers of the Kirklees Primary Music Festival decided to change the script to be ’sensitive’ to Muslims at a recent committee meeting.

Committee member Gill Goodswen, head teacher of Stile Common Junior School, defending the move.

She said: “We have to be sensitive if we want to be multi-cultural. It was felt it would be more responsible not to use the three little pigs.

“We feared that some Muslim children wouldn’t sing along to the words about pigs,’ she said.

But Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra from the Muslim Council of Britain branded the move ‘bizarre’.

He said: “The vast majority of Muslims have no problem whatsoever with the Three Little Pigs. It’s always been the traditional way of telling the story and I don’t see why that should be changed.

“There’s an issue about the eating of pork, which is forbidden, but there is no prohibition about reading stories about pigs. This is an unnecessary step.”…

Mr Mogra said: “How far are we going to go? Are we going to change the seven dwarves because it’s discriminatory towards people who are physically less able? Where do you draw the line?

“Every time we get these stories Muslims are seen more and more as misfits. We have to accept there’s a predominant culture here.”

Consequently, I'm a Catholic and am therefore not permitted to eat meat on Fridays during the season of Lent (which we are currently in.) I therefore am offended that the libs in the world aren't jumping through hoops to ban all public mentions of meat (or any of the animals that meat is derived from) on Fridays leading up to Easter. I guess it's because they're not afraid that if they don't I'll cut their heads off, but still.

Hat tip on that story to Hot Air, by the way.

Ban State Flags, Too!

Ann Althouse on Hillary's bizarre argument against the Confederate Battle Flag:

Speaking yesterday:

"I think about how many South Carolinians have served in our military and who are serving today under our flag and I believe that we should have one flag that we all pay honor to, as I know that most people in South Carolina do every single day"...

Huh? That would be an argument against all state flags!

It seems she's trying so hard to say just the right thing and please everyone that she ends up saying something weird.

More stupid than weird, but I get your point.

Burka - Not Just For Opressing Women!

Gee. Other than the fact that its a symbol of Islam's misogynistic oppression, there's no other good reason to ban burkas, are there?

This is the moment one of the 21/7 suspects fled London dressed as a woman in a burka.

A jury was today shown CCTV footage of 26-year-old Yassin Omar covered from head to toe - with a handbag draped over his left arm.

[Update, 7:06 pm Video:]

At 6ft 2in, Omar stood out in the crowded street as he was filmed walking along the pavement towards Golders Green Bus station. Commuters can be seen turning round to watch him as he passes.

It was 22 July, 2005, the day after he and five others are accused of trying to cause carnage with rucksack bombs on London's transport system two weeks after the 7/7 attacks. A series of different cameras followed his movements across a busy road and into the station to catch a National Express coach to Birmingham at 6.21pm.

Today the trial judge at Woolwich crown court, Mr Justice Fulford, asked Omar's barrister Peter Carter: "Is it accepted it is your client?' Mr Carter replied: "Yes."

Prosecutor Max Hill told jurors: "The handbag is over the left arm of Mr Omar. On walking over the crossing toward the coach stop, Omar appears to stop at the coach stop.

"A National Express coach pulls up, passengers embark, the bus moves off just after 6.20pm departing for Digbeth coach station in Birmingham." CCTV again picks up Omar arriving at Digbeth at 9.15pm.

He waits at the station for a Nissan Sunny to arrive at about 9.57pm and leaves with others at around 10.10pm.

Just wait until his terrorist buddies find out he's a cross-dresser. I hear that kind of thing's a no-go with those people.

My Skin Would Be Red Too ...

Political correctness in Illinois:

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) -- The University of Illinois will drop its 81-year-old American Indian mascot, Chief Illiniwek, following the last men's basketball home game of the season on Wednesday, officials said.

The move makes the school eligible to host postseason NCAA championship events, but it angered many Illini fans who say the chief honors American Indians.

The NCAA in 2005 deemed Illiniwek -- portrayed by buckskin-clad students who dance at home football and basketball games and other athletic events -- an offensive use of American Indian imagery and barred the university from hosting postseason events.

Fine. Who the Hell would want an Indian mascot anymore anyway, since they've become a group of hyper-sensitive pansies. It's not like Chief Illiniwek was parading around drunk while raping white women, scalping white men and mating with buffalo. In other words, he was historically inaccurate in the Indians' favor.

Muslim Extremist Works On UK Trains

Prick:

A MUSLIM fanatic who dressed as a suicide bomber at a rally threatening terror attacks has got a job on TRAINS.

Sick Omar Khayam cleans carriages unsupervised for rail giant First Group. And he has even got keys to onboard electrical cupboards.

Furious train drivers last night claimed the safety of staff and passengers is being put at risk. One driver added: “It’s an astonishing security breach. We cannot believe this man is employed in a job giving him access to locked places on trains where bombs could be hidden and never be found. He has keys that could be passed on to others for the electrical cupboards in carriages. It is a risk too far.”

Convicted drugs dealer Khayam, 22, had been filmed dressed as a bomber at the controversial demonstration outside London’s Danish Embassy last year. He wore a sinister camouflage outfit with a black vest.

Extremists around him — protesting at cartoons of the prophet Mohammed — waved placards supporting the 7/7 London bombings and calling for new UK terror attacks.

Khayam was sent back to prison after officials ruled he had broken the terms of his early release. He was due to stay behind bars until August 2007 but was AGAIN released early.

He now works nights at First Group’s huge depot in Bedford. When challenged about his job, he said: “So what? I’ve not committed a crime. If there is a concern, that’s what the police are there for. That’s what security services are for.”

Toddler Fights - Awesome

What's wrong with toughening up your toddlers, anyway?

Footage of four women goading toddlers to fight has "stunned" police and social services in Devon.

The seven-minute footage, filmed at a house by one woman, was shown in a case at Plymouth Magistrates' Court.

In the clip, a boy wearing a nappy was called a "wimp" for not hitting a girl back after she struck him in the face.

Four women admitted child cruelty charges and were released on bail on Wednesday. Det Sgt Andy Kings said the police had been "shocked" by the case.

Great parenting, huh. I tried to find the video to no avail, so here's a better one:



Ha ha. These kids suck. They can't even skate.

Basketball Players Aren't All Bad

Ha ha:

Retired NBA guard Tim Hardaway said Wednesday that he hates gay people, but later said he regretted the remarks.

"You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known. I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people," he said while a guest on Sports Talk 790 The Ticket. "I'm homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."

The discussion was sparked by last week's announcement that retired NBA center John Amaechi is gay.

I hate the word homophobic. AIDSphobic would be more accurate, but it's still lacking.

Speaking of liberal crap:

Judges order man to pay for child he didn’t father

McClatchy Newspapers

Published Wednesday, February 14, 2007

KANSAS CITY - Missouri judges have ordered a man to pay thousands of dollars in child support for a child he didn’t father.

Even the child’s mother agrees the man is not the father. Yet a state agency says he is because he was married to the woman when she gave birth.

The state wants David Salazar thrown in jail, and an appeals court on Tuesday agreed.

His lawyer, though, hopes that a higher court will rescue the Buchanan County man and others like him caught in a national issue that pits fairness for men against what is considered best for children.

Many men nationwide get trapped into paying child support because they do not contest paternity before state-set deadlines.

Whole story here.

Warning to Black People

Be afraid black people. George Bush has learned how to control tornadoes and he still doesn't care about you!

Racist Southerners

Imagine, if you will, a Republican who said that they didn't support a particular candidate for president for the particular reason that he was black. It had nothing to do with his politics or experience, this Republican just didn't want the candidate on the ballot because of the color of his skin.

Now read this:

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Two key black political leaders in South Carolina who backed John Edwards in 2004 said Tuesday they are supporting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

State Sens. Robert Ford and Darrell Jackson told The Associated Press they believe Clinton is the only Democrat who can win the presidency. Both said they had been courted by Illinois Sen. Barack Obama; Ford said Obama winning the primary would drag down the rest of the party.

"Then everybody else on the ballot is doomed," Ford said. "Every Democratic candidate running on that ticket would lose because he's black and he's at the top of the ticket _ we'd lose the House, the Senate and the governors and everything."

"I'm a gambling man. I love Obama," Ford said. "But I'm not going to kill myself."

Tardo Charged With Murder

From NPR:

In an affluent suburb of Boston, a community is asking tough questions following the murder of one high school student by another. The student charged in the fatal stabbing, John Odgren, suffers from Asperger syndrome, a mild form of autism.

I never really understood the argument that we shouldn't punish retarded criminals. There are two main reasons for jailing someone - the first and most important is punishment and retribution, making the criminal pay for his crime but the other reason, of nearly equal importance, is to keep violent criminals off of the street where they can commit further crimes. The fact that this kid's retarded and "doesn't even know he's done anything wrong" just seems to justify the need to lock him up, because there's clearly no remorse.

Federline Offends Morons

I'm tired of stupid people thinking it's their right not to be offended:

NEW YORK (AP) -- Kevin Federline has something to say to those who are offended by an upcoming Super Bowl ad featuring him as a fast-food worker: He's "really sorry."

"The commercial is completely intended for me, making fun of myself and my own situation," the aspiring rapper, 28, told Associated Press Television in a recent interview. "It has nothing to do with anybody in the fast-food industry at all. So, you know, if we've offended anybody, I'm really sorry about that."

National Restaurant Association President and Chief Executive Steven Anderson said last week that the ad amounts to a "strong and direct insult to the 12.8 million Americans who work in the restaurant industry."

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co.'s 30-second spot shows Federline performing in a glitzy music video. However, the punch line is that he's daydreaming _ while cooking french fries at a fast-food joint.

It's a "`Saturday Night Live' skit on myself. ... Maybe it'll land me some good roles in Hollywood," said Federline, whose debut rap album, "Playing With Fire," has had dismal sales since its release last fall.

On Thursday, Federline's attorney confirmed that K-Fed and estranged wife Britney Spears will continue to share custody of their two young sons this month, following the terms of a January custody agreement. Spears filed for divorce from Federline in November after two years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.

"I'm a good father," said Federline, who wouldn't talk about his personal life. "I love my kids and I'll always be here for (them)."

If you're working in a fast food restaurant, above the age of twenty and you're not working your way through college then you're either a miserable failure in life, or a complete idiot, or of course, both.

The only thing Kevin Federline should have to apologize for is his atrocious music. I do have to admit though, this commercial is pretty funny:

Moscow Human Rights Watch

With Moscow cracking down on dissension and killing former spies what "human rights abuse" does the media decide needs to be exposed?

Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov said Monday he would never allow a gay parade to take place in Moscow despite pressure from the West, Russia’s RIA-Novosti news agency reports.

“Last year, Moscow came under unprecedented pressure to sanction the gay parade, which can be described in no other way than as Satanic,” Luzhkov said at the 15th Christmas educational readings in the Kremlin Palace.

“We did not let the parade take place then, and we are not going to allow it in the future,” said Luzhkov who has been in office since 1992.

Sure they imprison wealthy political opponents for years without any real trial, but not allowing gay pride parades? Come on Moscow.

MLK Party Slightly On The Racist Side - Completely On The Funny Side

Other news in being PC:

Authorities at Tarleton State University said they plan to investigate a Martin Luther King Jr. Day party that mocked black stereotypes by featuring fried chicken, malt liquor and faux gang apparel.

"I feel like there is no excuse for this type of ignorance," said Donald Ray Elder, president of the Stephenville school's chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Photographs posted on social networking Web site Facebook.com showed partygoers wearing Afro wigs and fake gold and silver teeth. One photo showed students "mocking how African-Americans do step shows," Elder said. In another picture, a student is dressed as Aunt Jemima and carries a gun. [I don't see a gun -ed]

"That upsets me," Elder said. "That's someone who knows nothing about Dr. King, because Dr. King was totally about nonviolence."

Crazy Dems Abandon Term "Freshman"

The Democrats' love of politically correct speech (or rather fear of politically incorrect speech) will stop at nothing, no matter how insane:

Among the things attendees at this morning's National Journal /NBC post-SOTU breakfast learned was that it is no longer politically correct in the House Dem caucus to refer to the newly elected members from '06 as "Freshmen." How did we learn this? House Maj. Whip Jim Clyburn referred to the "freshmen" and then corrected himself and then went on to admit the new policy. Freshman, er newly elected Rep. Jason Altmire (D-PA) told the crowd that he "suspected" it had something to do with the word "new" being more appealing to the public than "freshman," which can be seen by some as derogatory. So there ya go!

Wow. I don't know what to say. This not only highlights the insanity of the steps the dems will go through to avoid offending anyone (excluding Christians and soldiers, of course), it also shows that they'll act like idiots in order to seem "more appealing to the public." Basically they're popularity whores.

Speaking of politically correct Democrats, Allahpundit had this up for an unrelated post:

Since When Do Communists Care What Muslims Want?

The Chinese ban Christianity, but will go through ridiculous leaps and bounds to appease Muslims:

Next month, China will ring in the Year of the Pig. Nestle SA planned to celebrate with TV ads featuring a smiling cartoon pig. "Happy new pig year," the ads said.

This week, China Central Television, the national state-run TV network, banned Nestle's ad -- and all images and spoken references to the animal in commercials, including those tied to the Lunar New Year, China's biggest holiday.

The intent: to avoid offending Muslims, who consider pigs unclean. "China is a multiethnic country," the network's ad department said in a notice sent to ad agencies late Tuesday. "To show respect to Islam, and upon guidance from higher levels of the government, CCTV will keep any 'pig' images off the TV screen."

Now Muslims can't even look at a pig? No wonder they cover their wives head-to-toe.

Debbie Schlussel on the ban:

Though I have no respect for Communist China--its slave labor, lack of human rights, one-child-per-family policy, etc., etc., etc.--I thought, at least, the country got tough on Islamic extremism. The Chinese government has raided and destroyed camps populated by Chinese Muslim Uighur (pronounced "Wee-gur") extremists. As I've written, last year, several Uighurs were Al-Qaeda terrorists held in Guantanamo Bay, and China protested their release (to Albania). But, as I also wrote, China gave millions to HAMAS, last year.

Protestors In Lebanon

Since when is a group of terrorists trying to overthrow a government know as "protestors"?

Protesters trying to topple Lebanon's cabinet blocked highways with blazing tires on Tuesday, sparking clashes with government loyalists in which two people were killed and at least 100 people hurt, police said.

Oh yeah, since Reuters said so.

Terror Free Gas - Socialist, Maybe

Coming out of Omaha:

Group Plans 'Terror Free' Gas Station in Omaha

The Terror-Free Oil Initiative is planning to open the nation's first "terror free" gas station in Omaha.

The Florida-based group claims U.S. dollars used to purchase gas made from Middle East oil funds terrorism. It urges Americans to only buy oil products that originate from countries that do not support terrorism.

The Terror-Free Oil station in west Omaha will sell gas from oil companies that do not do business in the Middle East. Signs calling for the use of non-Middle Eastern oil were up at the station today.

Spokesman Joe Kaufman says the station will open Feb. 1, with a grand opening scheduled for Feb. 12.

Other Terror-Free Oil stations are planned.

Not a terrible idea, but are they still selling Venezuelan oil? And Russian? And are any of the liquors or tobbaco products inside French? Someone look into that.
