TB touring the ME

Tony Blair is currently touring the Middle East trying to settle things down.

"Tony Blair has called for moderate Muslim states to form an " alliance of moderation" to counter Iran and its influence."

"At the end of his Middle East tour, Mr Blair said the world has to "wake up" to the struggle between moderation and extremism, which was the challenge of the 21st Century."

Muslims don't want Christmas banned

In my last topic we had an Anon who was adamant that Muslims want Christmas and Easter banned in the UK. Now while we do hear and read about ethnic minorities being offended by Christmas lights and stuff (were do they get this idea from I don’t know, no ones asked me), why is it that this was concluded to be only Muslims? Muslims are not the only minority in the UK!!!

My friend, Muslims and other minorities are not offended by Christmas decorations one bit, believe me I know. I am Muslim and have many Muslim friends; none want Christmas and Easter banned. The majority of the idiots advocating such ridiculous policies are boring, overpaid, white, middle-class jobsworths pen pushers in the public sector who are anti-religion and are using Political Correctness as an expedient cover story to hide behind. They also need to fill their time to justify extortionate wages under non-job positions such as "Ethnic Inclusion Awareness Manager". Please just go check the job vacancies of your Local Councils.

The media also plays its part, inciting more racial hatred unnecessarily to increase sales of their tabloids.Does anyone else find it ironic that you’re using Christmas: a festival marking the birth of a Jewish kid in Palestine/Israel brought here by the Romans/Italians and marked by decorating fir trees (a habit introduced by a German) to have a go at foreigners for forcing their ways onto you? Think about it a little
