Curiously, the expose’ on the hate preachers and the undercover work on the mosques hardly got any reaction at all so far. Instead, the crappiest of all shows, ‘Big Brother’- is now making waves internationally. An Indian actress is said to have been ‘bullied’ amidst claims of ‘racism’…
Trivia, nothing but trivia and utter nonsense rules supreme, if you can bear it:

The row over the alleged racist bullying of Celebrity Big Brother star Shilpa Shetty reached the world of international diplomatic relations today.
Both the prime minister, Tony Blair, and the chancellor, Gordon Brown – who is visiting Shetty’s home country of India – made public comments about the show, while the Indian government promised to “take appropriate measures”.
Video showing Indian protesters burning effigies of Big Brother’s producers has also been aired on television channels.

Well, there is always Germaine Greer to comment. But it still doesn’t make any sense:
Germaine Greer:
Every time someone sends in a complaint to Ofcom about racism in the Big Brother house, the profile of the show is raised and Shilpa earns a bit more of her huge fee. But it’s a funny old world, to be sure. You can call her a “dog”. Sexism is fine. What you mustn’t do is call her a “Paki”. As if to be Pakistani was to be worse than being a dog. Our very tenderness on this issue is the flip side of racism, and still part of the same coin. If you call me an Aussie you don’t insult me because Aussieness is OK. Pakiness is evidently not OK.

This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening.
We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...
But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.
Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth,
(we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!
One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for
trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.
But you won't be back, trust me on that.
Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

Goodness!
Germy and I actually agree on something. How nice!
You can call me a Pommie.
And I’ll be pleased.
OK?
Am I to presume from the printed statement above (implied as a quote from the Great Diva of Dummyspits, Herself) that The Shitty Sherpa was called a Paki and considers it ‘racsist’??
“Paki” is supposed to mean “Pure”.
Where then the insult?
Dearie, dearie Me!
Racism is The Norm amongst most Non-White Races…….
Actually, the Diva was not the one who made the racism claim, it was the Pom’s themselves and the Indians (in India) went on riots about it. Somehow it all looks like it was all cooked up.
Its all quite bizarre. Unfortunately it covers up the real scandal, and that is the hate-preachers and their exposure in the British mosques…
‘Paki’ in effect means Muslim, which is indeed intensely insulting to any self-respecting (non-Muslim) Indian – and especially to highly snobbish high-caste Hindus. If you visit some Indian nationalist sites or chat to (right wing) Hindus and Sikhs you will find that they use the term themselves to refer to their ancient geopolitical and cultural enemy.
It’s a bit like calling a Greek a Turk – which I really wouldn’t recommend to anyone wishing to keep their nose on the outside of their face. :)
