Vielleicht hat Joschka Fischer etwas aehnliches gemeint, als er waehrend seiner Wahlkampagne seiner gruenen Gefolgschaft "Die Toleranz ist die beste Waffe gegen den Terrorismus" gesagt und dadurch stuermischen Beifall geerntet hat.

Also wann kann man erwarten, dass die Gruenen aus Respekt vor den Moslemen in Deutschland keinen Schinken, keine Schweinekotelette, keine Fleischwurst, keine Schweinshaxen, kein Eisbein und kein Kassler mehr essen? Und wann werden die Sparschweinchen aus den Kinderzimmern entfernt?

Ich frage mich auch, wann Fischer folgend die Gruenen ihren Kindern alle Buecher verbieten, worin Schweinchen erwaehnt werden oder als Figuren vorkommen. Koennte man erwarten, dass es zu Buecherverbrennen vor und in den Grundschulen kommt?



Britain`s War on Pigs
By Robert Spencer
FrontPageMagazine.com | October 6, 2005

Pigs are disappearing all over England, but not because of some porcine variant of Mad Cow Disease: rather, the most implacable foe of the swine is turning out to be multiculturalism.

The latest assault came in the benefits department at Dudley Council, West Midlands, where employees were told that they were no longer allowed to have any representations of pigs at their desks. Some had little porcine porcelain figurines. Others had toys or calendars of cute little pigs. One had a tissue box depicting Winnie the Pooh and Piglet. All of this had to go, not because of new some new anti-kitsch ordinance, but because Muslims might be offended — particularly now, what with Ramadan beginning. How could a pious Muslim in the Dudley Council, West Midlands benefits department redouble his efforts to conform his life to the will of Allah with all these…pigs staring him in the face? It was an insult!

This was not the first anti-pig initiative in Britain. In Derby, Muslims took offense at plans to restore the statue of the Florentine Boar, which had stood in the Derby Park for over a hundred years before it was decapitated by a German bomb in 1942. Recent plans to rebuild the Boar’s head ran into resistance from local Muslims. Suman Gupta, a local Council member, warned: “If the statue of the boar is put back at the Arboretum I have been told that it will not be there the next day, or at least it won’t be in the same condition the next day at least. We should not have the boar because it is offensive to some of the groups in the immediate area.” However, after more than 2,000 locals signed petitions in favor of the Boar, local authorities decided to bend to public opinion and go ahead with their original plans to restore the statue.

Elsewhere in England pigs did not fare so well. In March 2003, Barbara Harris, head teacher at Park Road Junior Infant and Nursery School in Batley, West Yorkshire, banned stories mentioning pigs. “Recently,” Harris explained, “I have been aware of an occasion where young Muslim children in class were read stories about pigs. We try to be sensitive to the fact that for Muslims talk of pigs is offensive.” Harris didn’t mention whether or not she intended to allow Muslim students to possess copies of the Qur’an at the school, despite its repeated mention of how Allah cursed Jews and turned them into apes and pigs (2:62-65; 5:59-60; 7:166).

Why have pigs become so unpopular in Britain? Mahbubur Rahman, a Muslim Councillor in West Midlands, summed it up in explaining why the toy pigs had to go: “It’s a tolerance,” he said, “of people’s beliefs.”

How’s that again? It’s “a tolerance of people’s beliefs” to deny to others the right to display harmless pictures and figurines? Mahbubur Rahman seems unacquainted with the dictum, widely attributed to Voltaire, that “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Yet this is what tolerance really is: the acceptance of the fact that in a free society, some will do and say things of which one may disapprove, and that one has no consequent right to command or force them to stop. If this is not recognized in any given society, that society is not in fact free at all — any more than Henry Ford’s offer that “You can have a car in any color you want, as long as it’s black” represented a genuine choice.

For Rahman instead to equate a British capitulation to Muslim sensibilities with tolerance indicates that he has confused Islamic supremacism with tolerance. This is perhaps not surprising given the near-universal tendency among Muslims and non-Muslims alike to laud Medieval Muslim Spain as a proto-multiculturalist paradise of tolerance, when actually it was a paradise for Islamic supremacists. Christians and Jews lived in harmony with Muslims only as inferiors. Historian Kenneth Baxter Wolf notes that the after the Muslim conquest, the conquerors imposed new laws “aimed at limiting those aspects of the Christian cult which seemed to compromise the dominant position of Islam.” After enumerating a standard list of the laws restricting non-Muslims (dhimmis) — no building of new churches, no holding authority over Muslims, distinctive clothing, etc. — he adds: “Aside from such cultic restrictions most of the laws were simply designed to underscore the position of the dimmîs as second-class citizens.”

Multiculturalism? Tolerance? Not by any modern standard. And neither are the disappearing pigs of Great Britain.

Werden dadurch nicht die Inder nebst ihren heiligen Kühen diskriminiert?

[mausschubser]

Wenn es nicht so traurig wäre, müßte man lachen. Aber diese schweinische Geschichte zeigt, dass fehlende Toleranz zwar ungerechte Unterdrückung anderer schafft, überzogene Toleranz aber auf der anderen Seite Selbstaufgabe bedeutet und früher oder später zur eigenen Unterdrückung führt...

daß sich niemand fragt, warum man nur mit der isalmischen Minderheit derartige Scherereien hat in GB, das auch große andere exotische Minoritäten beherrbergt ???

Die Moslemlobby hat GB voll im Griff, und die Briten sind bereit alles, aber auch wirklich alles den Moslemwünschen anzupassen und zu unterwerfen - ganz so wie es sich für minderwertige Dhimmis auch gehört.

Winnie the Pooh can hurt Muslim`s sentiments!
London | October 01, 2005 3:12:26 PM IST

Winnie the Pooh, the Piglet and The Three Little Pigs must be among every child`s favourite cartoon and comic characters, but workers at a council office in UK have been asked to remove all traces of pigs from the office, lest it offends Muslim staff.

Workers in the benefits department at Dudley Council, West Midlands, were told to remove or cover up all pig-related items, including toys, porcelain figures, calendars and even tissue boxes featuring Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, reports The Sun.

Reports said that the Council passed the decision after a Muslim complained about pig-shaped stress relievers delivered to the council in the run-up to the festival of Ramadan, the host month of fasting that precedes Eid.

Though some have expressed surprise, many have backed the ban.

jetzt werden in GB Stimmen laut, die fordern die engliche Flagge zu verändern, weil

sie Moslems in ihren Gefühlen verletzen könnte !!!!!

Die Kriechspur der Briten wird immer breiter und schleimiger.



TESTING THE FAITH
English flag offensive to Muslims?
Officials worry prisoners might associate red cross with Crusades

Prison officials in Britain are concerned that tie pins worn by officers featuring the St. George`s Cross – the symbol on England`s flag – could offend Muslims who might associate it with the Crusades of the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries.

In a report on "race" in a jail in the northern English city of Wakefield, Chief Inspector of Prisons Anne Owers said the banner of St. George, the red cross of a martyr on a white background, could be "misconstrued," CNN reported.

English soldiers adopted the symbol during the military expeditions by European powers to recapture the Holy Land from Muslims. It later became the national flag of England.

Owers` report said her staff was concerned to see a number of prison officers wearing the pin.

"While we were told that these had been bought in support of a cancer charity there was clear scope for misinterpretation, and Prison Service Orders made clear that unauthorized badges and pins should not be worn," she said, according to CNN.

The red cross is an insensitive reminder of the Crusades, said Chris Doyle, director of the Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding .

Doyle thinks England needs to find a new flag and patron saint "not associated with our bloody past and one we can all identify with."

"A lot of Muslims and Arabs view the Crusades as a bloody episode in our history," he told CNN. "They see those campaigns as Christendom launching a brutal holy war against Islam.

But as Robert Spencer shows in his book "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), the aggression was not unprovoked. In obedience to core teachings of the Islamic faith, Muslims armies overran the predominantly Christian Middle East, then drove deep into Europe long before any Crusade was even contemplated.

Doyle insisted, however, that "Muslim or Arab prisoners could take umbrage if staff wore a red cross badge."

"It`s also got associations with the far-right," he said. "Prison officers should be seen to be neutral."

die bisherige Britenfahne:


und hier die neue Britenflagge, an der es nichts auszusetzen gibt, weil der Islam schließlich der Inbegriff des Pazifismus und das Ursprungsland der Schwulenparaden ist

[spicault]

In Grossbritannien werden Eiskrempackungen zurueckgezogen und mit erheblichen Kosten neu gestaltet, weil sie einen Moslem proviziert haben, der mit Jihad droht.

Denali, du hast voellig Recht. In der Kriecherei gegenueber den Moslemen sind die Briten die Weltmeister.

Mit Recht koennte man London als die Hauptstadt von Eurabia betrachten.


BURGER KING CAVES IN TO ARAB POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!

Burger King recalls `sacrilegious` desserts

THE fast-food chain, Burger King, is withdrawing its ice-cream cones after the lid of the dessert offended a Muslim.

The man claimed the design resembled the Arabic inscription for Allah, and branded it sacrilegious, threatening a "jihad".

The chain is being forced to spend thousands of pounds redesigning the lid with backing from The Muslim Council of Britain. It apologised and said: "The design simply represents a spinning ice-cream cone."

The offending lid was spotted in a branch in Park Royal last week by business development manager Rashad Akhtar, 27, of High Wycombe.

He was not satisfied by the decision to withdraw the cones and has called on Muslims to boycott Burger King. He said: "This is my jihad. How can you say it is a spinning swirl? If you spin it one way to the right you are offending Muslims."

A Muslim Council spokesman said: "We commend the sensitive and prompt action that Burger King has taken."

Auch der Holocaustgedenktag , erst 2001 in GB eingeführt, steht bei den islamischen Repräsentanten und ihren unterwürfigen Dhimmis auf der Abschuliste .

Es müsse auch der Pali-Opfer Israels gedacht werden, sonst fühlen sich Muslime herabgesetzt.

So ein Obermoslemsprecher in GB hatte letzten Herbst die Teilnahme an den Gedenkfeiern verweigert, aus diesem Grund. Ein paar Monate zuvor hatte ihn die Queen zum Ritter geschlagen, weil man beweisen wollte, wie wahnsinnig politisch korrekt es in GB zugeht.

Zugleich hetzt man gegen die BRD, und stellt sie als Nazi-Nachfolgestaat dar, oder aktuell gegen Österreich im Guardian, weil sich die Ösi-Regierung als einzige repräsentativ gegenüber ihren Wählern gezeigt hat.


Doch wenn Moslems die Abschaffung bzw. die Modifikation des Holocaustgedenkens fordern, geht das voll in Ordnung.

Ditch Holocaust day, advisers urge Blair
Abul Taher



ADVISERS appointed by Tony Blair after the London bombings are proposing to scrap the Jewish Holocaust Memorial Day because it is regarded as offensive to Muslims.
They want to replace it with a Genocide Day that would recognise the mass murder of Muslims in Palestine, Chechnya and Bosnia as well as people of other faiths.



The draft proposals have been prepared by committees appointed by Blair to tackle extremism. He has promised to respond to the plans, but the threat to the Holocaust Day has provoked a fierce backlash from the Jewish community .

Holocaust Day was established by Blair in 2001 after a sustained campaign by Jewish leaders to create a lasting memorial to the 6m victims of Hitler. It is marked each year on January 27.

The Queen is patron of the charity that organises the event and the Home Office pays £500,000 a year to fund it. The committees argue that the special status of Holocaust Memorial Day fuels extremists’ sense of alienation because it “excludes” Muslims.

A member of one of the committees, made up of Muslims, said it gave the impression that “western lives have more value than non-western lives”. That perception needed to be changed. “One way of doing that is if the government were to sponsor a national Genocide Memorial Day.

“The very name Holocaust Memorial Day sounds too exclusive to many young Muslims. It sends out the wrong signals: that the lives of one people are to be remembered more than others. It’s a grievance that extremists are able to exploit.”

The recommendation, drawn up by four committees including those dealing with imams and mosques, and Islamaphobia and policing, has the backing of Sir Iqbal Sacranie, secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain.

He said: “The message of the Holocaust was ‘never again’, and for that message to have practical effect on the world community it has to be inclusive. We can never have double standards in terms of human life. Muslims feel hurt and excluded that their lives are not equally valuable to those lives lost in the Holocaust time.”

Ibrahim Hewitt, chairman of the charity Interpal, said: “There are 500 Palestinian towns and villages that have been wiped out over the years. That’s pretty genocidal to me.”

The committees are also set to clash with Blair on his proposal to ban Hizb ut-Tahrir, the radical Islamic group. Government sources say they will argue that a ban is unjustified because the group, which is proscribed in much of the Middle East, neither advocates nor perpetrates violence in the UK.

A Home Office spokesman said it would consider the proposals for a separate Genocide Day for all faiths but emphasised that it regarded the Holocaust as a “defining tragedy in European history”.

Mike Whine, a director of the British Board of Deputies, said: “Of course we will oppose this move. The whole point is to remember the darkest day of modern history.”

Louise Ellman, Labour MP for Liverpool Riverside and a Holocaust Memorial trustee, said: “These Muslim groups should stop trying to evade the enormity of the Holocaust.”

The seven committees finalise their recommendations today at St George’s House, Windsor, and will submit them to Blair and Charles Clarke, the home secretary, on September 22.

Ein Massenmordgedenktag ist ansich keine schlechte Idee.

Da könnte man z.B. auch der Mordopfer des Islam gedenken, und ganz aktuell, dem Massenmorden von Moslem im Sudan und neuerdings auch Niger, wo es übrigens Moslems trifft - was seltsamer Weise den restlichen Moslems auf der Welt sowas von egal ist.........nur wenn Israel einen wie Scheich Jassin zu Allah schickt, ist das gleich ein Massenmord.


Aber die Massenmordopfer des Islam, mit denen lediglich nur so verfahren wurde, wie es im Koran vorgeschrieben ist, würden vom Gedenken mit Sicherheit ausgeklammert - es könnte einige der friedlichen Muslime vielleicht seelisch verletzten und zu Akten der "Hilflosigkeit" provozieren.
