I'm sure that Gordon Brown is trembling in his brogues... ::)

I'm surprised that they haven't expressed even greater outrage at what they see on the plate of the average Scottish breakfaster.e.,  the equivalent of a whole pig, gutted, bled, deepfried, sprinkled with brown sauce and garnished with fried bread (yum, yum).

Oh, Kirkhill! Don't get all excited now.  :D
 
Pretty bad these days when all of the nursary rhymes we grew up on are now considered Not Politically Correct.  :crybaby:
And no matter what you do in life, IT will offend someone at some time or some when. The one that really got my goat! was the one about Muslim taxi drivers who wouldn't take customers with guide dogs.  :rage:
I'm feeling a "kneel and face the ditch" coming..or is it a "go back to your old country and spout off jus the same"
my $0.02.  But then again, I can be considered an Immigrant...BUT I call myself  :cdn:
 
 
Look at the source of the amusement... British newspapers are now days all tabloids in my not so humble opinion. It has become less about actual reporting of facts, to more selling ad space (there seems to be another thread about here talking about that very thing here in Canada). To sell more ad space, you need sensational headlines to make papers sell more.

I doubt this particular story would make it above the fold on page ten here in Canada (assuming it made the paper at all).

Of course, of more concern to me, is the fodder this particular story is for the Islamophobes and full on racists in GBR (and other places). I work closely off and on with Afghans of the Muslim persuasion, and previously counted Muslims as subordinates and good friends. The characterisations that "they are offended by everything" is nothing more then mass media fed laziness. Feeding into that Islamophobia does nothing for our commitment to improve life in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, and does everything to fuel the recruiting of organisations like al'Qaeda and the Taliban.

Always remember, that fanaticism is not limited to any one religion. It was not to long ago that the IRA was blowing up pubs in Ireland and GBR for the way people prayed and nothing more. Hearing the stories from my grandmother Kenny of the treatment of Catholics by the Orangemen tells the story of other fanatics... Pointing fingers on the basis of small highly vocal groups of fanatics does not move us, as a human race, forward (but will keep most of us employed for the next several thousand years).
 
{they need a nail on the head emoticon}

I concur that many times IT is the media that fosters the Islamophobia of the masses.  I have also had the aquiantance of some Muslims, and I nor my way of life did offend them in any way.  Who, by way of thier religion, are peaceful and gracious {mind you, I wasn't up to eating bacon in front of them either} I respected and them me.
I, as well as many people here, have spent time in Islamic/Arabic and Jewish countries and HAD to abide by thier rules and laws, why can't they do the same?  :cdn:
 
Re-reading my post, for those that do not know me... Please do not take it as me pointing fingers around here. Outsiders though, might not understand that we are not talking about all Muslims, but rather the extremist few, and that was merely the point I was trying to make.

Is it still a haggis if it's wrapped in bacon and deep-fried?

And what scotch do you have with a breakfast food like that?

I wonder if they cross the street to avoid getting close to an "unclean" puppy?

What else about Scottish culture offends them? Bagpipes? Haggis? Scotch Eggs? How about dancers that show off quite a bit of leg in kilts?

I don't know.

But: I do know that there have been many official complaints lodged here in Ottawa, and in other cities, about Muslim taxi drivers who refuse to carry a guide dog because it is unclean. We are so PC that we refuse to lift their licenses for failing to adhere to the conditions of their licenses. They don't need to kiss the dog - all they have to do is obey the city bylaws.

Funny also that Mohammad coming across a very thirsty dog, took off his slipper filled it with water for the dog to drink. Seems his followers want to outdo the prophet.

This is the result of a lack of central authority for the muslim religion.
