The Catholics, the Jewish, and many other religions receive jabs like this all the time, why should the Muslims be any different?

Oh wait... that's right, because they terrified people after the Dutch cartoons came out.

And placard waving generally gets a similar response, unless the holders of said placard are peacefully demanding a change in government or democracy or an end to aparteid etc.

Clear?


Peacefully demanding?

Is that supposed to be funny or something? A humorous play on words? An oxymoron for the new age?

How do you demand something when your opponent has no incentive to satisfy you? Do you wage peace on them? Smother them with love and understanding? Appeal to his soft an cuddly side? Appease him into a state of docility?

Sorry, but if my enemy has gone to lengths to convince me that it's either him or me, I'd personally rather it be him. No peaceful demands, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. No showers of flower petals.

Frankly, I'd rather be an imbecile in your book than a dead chump in the universal definition of the term.

Okay... lets go bit by bit thru the original joke and see what is bigoted about it.

Quote
A Welsh farmer, walking through his field, notices a man drinking out of a pond, using one hand.  


Nothing yet... unless you think Welsh farming is somehow against all that is good.

Quote
The Welsh farmer shouted: 'Paid a yfed a dwr, maer gwerthin wedi Cachu un a for.' Which means: 'Don't drink the water - the cows have s**t in it.'


So now the farmer, using an obscure language warns someone about possible ill health should the stranger continue to drink.  

Is this bigoted? no.

Quote
The man shouts back: 'I'm a Muslim, I don't understand. Please speak English.'


That must be it.  After all, it may be common for muslims worldwide to speak celtic based languages...  nope, that probability seems quite small.  So no bigotry yet.

Quote
The Welsh farmer says: 'Use two hands, they hold more'!!!  


This must be it.  The Welsh farmer, realizing that the stranger is muslim, changed his warning to encouragement.  But then again, if the stranger was a Cambridge graduate student, the same response from the Welsh farmer may be forthcoming.  

The humor comes from the twist at the end.  

The bigotry is in your own mind.

You have heard of Ghandi, Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela? The authorities they were working against had no incentive to give up their positions.

Peaceful demonstration - a cornerstone of democracy. A shame it is lost on you.

I have heard of those fellows, actually. A great bunch.

I'm just coming up empty finding examples of any of them dealing with the Islamists--since they were the group we were discussing in the beginning.

You honestly think that picketing and peacefully requesting is going to work with these people? You're a Brit, afterall, so I'm assuming you guys have found a fail-safe way of negotiating with these fanatics by now. You want a peaceful co-existence, and they want unequivicle obedience... Seems pretty irreconcilable to me, but then again, things are lost on me....If it's not too much trouble, try to enlighten.

And stop with the subtle references to me. I know I'm an ignorant cave-dweller. Everybody does.  So just have the conversation and save the jabs, please.

I'm still waiting for the examples of where I have advocated 'Nuking Hanukkah".

Thanks in advance.

BTW, the peaceful demonstration was a general comment that you have taken out of context - I never suggested it should be used to combat terrorism. You questioned my reaction to seeing "Death to Israel" - I said that placard waving generally gives a negative reaction from me, unless the people holding it are peacefully demanding a change of government, democracy or freedom etc.

I can understand your confusion if English is not your first language. Otherwise, read the posts again.

We were talking about the problem posed by Islamists. That was the topic. Whatever deviation there was from said topic did not change the topic, in my mind at least. You're against using the proverbial big stick, yet accept the fact that peaceful negotiation will not work. I believe you called me in embecile when I suggested using the big stick (a certain level of embellishment is implied), yet your solution is still nowhere to be seen.

As for my 'Nuke Hanukkah' reference... Well, ever since you accepted my apology pre-emptively, I figured it was a dead issue. The reason I said it was because I figured that since most of you Euros suffer from Islam on the brain to one extent or another, you'd naturally fall into the category of people that at least quietly believes that those damned Jews, and Israel, for that matter, are making things worse for us all. If you are not, then I did indeed owe you an apology.

However, given your manner of constantly ending your posts with the pseudo-witty jabs that you can't seem to keep to yourself, I don't think you need the apology. I figure it's best that you either tell me how you think the Islamist problem should be dealt with, and keep your verbal wet-willies to yourself, or just end this conversation.

I don't see the problem here with Muslims. I just got back from a 15 month tour in Iraq guarding over 1000 of them. (33,000 detainees, 400 guards)They only want one thing. To convert all of us to Islam by force. Oh, and to kill any westerner they can get their hands on. But then, what do I know? I only have 3 Jihad's on my head at the moment.

By the way.....

Well this conversation started badly, and didn't exactly improve in tone.

Your ill-founded assertions about those damned 'Euros' are as foolish as they are wrong. You made a mistake in my instance. I'll wager, it won't be the last. You're clearly eaten up with rage; something both sides in the Arab-Israeli conflict suffer from. I don't know how that will be defused, if you excuse the pun.

While I may not know the 'right' answer, I know absolutely what would be the wrong. Nuking Mecca or Tel-Aviv would fall into the latter.

Yes, I am in a rage.

I am outraged. And I don't understand how anybody today can be anything but outraged. We are allowing a backward, oppressive, barbaric culture to dictate the terms in what has become nothing less than a global war of ideology.

If there is any doubt in your mind that they want our submission, you are deluded. If you there is any doubt in your mind that their hatred and willingness to take this to the end will ever be satiated by anything less than total surrender, you are deluded.

And yet here we are, today, appeasing them, negotiating them into a situation that is ultimately compromising towards us. Forget the Jewish struggle. forget the Arab/Israeli conflict. This has spilled over into a battle of progress verses regress. A conflict between religious oppression and freedom of existence.

And you think there's a way to deal with this other than all out conflict? I'm sorry Dowding, but the route of political correctness is both old and impotent. This will never end until we show them the will that they've already shown us. If this belief makes me a bigot, than so be it. I'd still rather all of them die before anybody that is dear to me. Thanks to their resolve, we are past the point of humanity.

I sincerely apologize if I offended you with pre-conceived notions and primitive insults, but this is it, my view distilled into one post. Us or them. If you think that there's a happy medium, just as one of their religious leaders, and ask him to be sincere.

I, for one, will not be converting to Islam. And, I suspect, neither will you... Now how does that sit with their own sickening version of manifest destiny?

I'll try to post a joke that meets your specifications:

Three humorless idiot PC hacks walk into a bar.  Each finds something personally offensive and shows each patron of the bar what they are doing wrong in their everyday life and how it effects others who also have no sense of humor.

Lets see....  somehow there has to be a punch line, but it seems the set up has no possibilities.


So then they see a Muslim drinking water from ....


 ... or maybe it's a negro. We know bigotry is just in the eye of the beholder .... not the teller. As long as one knee gets slapped it's all good. ;)
