CARNIVAL IN GERMANY: ISLAM NO LONGER TABOO – Neither is BUSH-hatred
by sheikyermami on February 17, 2007
This particular idea never made it into the parade in 2006. This year, though, organizers in Düsseldorf say there will be no limits.
The word on the coffin means “Freedom of opinion.” Murdered with a sabre, freedom of opinion is buried in 2006.
In 2005, when the diplomatic conflict between the United States and Iran was heating up, was the year of the “Mullah burger.”
This sketch, on the other hand, was never realized. It shows Iranian Mullahs hiding a nuclear warhead. 
This motif will feature in the parade on Rose Monday. The banner reads “Peace Between Religions — The Greatest of All Illusions.”
*More of ‘all religions are the same’- generalization… 
This idea also went a bit too far for the Düsseldorf city council. The headline reads, “Effective Terror Prevention At Last.”
* Bad taste and stupidity is no substitute for satire

Backbone (re-) discovered in Germany? Will they pull this off or is this just hot air?

In light of the Muhammad cartoon scandal in 2006, carnival jokesters in Germany went easy on Islam. This year, Muslim satire will return to at least one parade.
Polemical, provocative and striking — such is the nature of carnival parades in Germany. Last year, when 43-year-old Jacques Tilly was thinking of how to address the plight of women in Muslim countries, he followed his satirist’s instinct. The float he designed? Four Muslim women in a row, each more covered than the last. At the end, a woman tied inside a large trash bag.

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?

Good for Tilly. Now he will be called an Islamophobe and will be targeted by one of those fatwas of death. It would be nice if he gets some protection and support from the government.
I hope it goes ahead. The reactions will be predictable. But that isn’t a good excuse.
Sheik – the site is going well. Easy to navigate, etc etc.
The only thing that worries me is that every day you have soooooooo much work to do!!
Oh for an “islam-free” day.
cheers:)
“Backbone (re-) discovered in Germany?”
We never lost it.
German newspapers printed the Mohammed Cartoons.
US newspapers were afraid.
“Effective Terror Prevention At Last.”
That’d be the obligatory BDS float. Blaming GW is easier thanks actually thinking for a change. sigh.
