Now, I don't claim to be any kind of political heavyweight
but isn't that kind of like saying Spain is being anglicisied, based on visiting Magaluf?

But Brits only visit there for a week at a time,
to get pissed, fight and eat kebabs. sad but true.
We don't construct mosques, preach hatred or protest Christmas.

a mosque is a building.
I fucking hate car parks but that's not a valid reason for protest.

there are as many "hatred-preaching" christians as there are muslims. More, in fact, and far more dangerous, because there's at least three in parliment.

And no-one, for the love of fuck, has ever "protested christmas".

I beg to disagree on the last statement,
friend of mine is a music teacher, and Christmas things at school are not allowed. This ISN'T a Daily Fail urban myth, it's actually happened.

The only person I've ever come across who seriously complained about xmas
was a Jehovah's Witness. She was proper mental, though.

no-one BANNED it.
It's not Islam's fault if individual schools are retarded. And my sister-in-law TAs in schools in preston and bolton so I can confirm it is individual schools.

in any case, they're hardly removing christams songs to celebrate Eid, are they? so it's got fuck all to do with Islam and a lot to do with one or two idiots or, possibly, a secularisation of schools in general, which is a good thing, right?

No, no
I mean the ex-pat communities. Aren't there loads of areas where they have English people all retiring to the sunshine?

Yes, there are

Nononono, no muslim, or non-christian, has ever been offended by "the flag" or christian holidays.
I have never, not once, not in all these years, seen anyone of a non-christian faith say "I hate christmas, I wish they would change it to Wintervile" or something like that.

It's always, if it happens at lal, councils who are doing it on behalf of these people, and they're doing it wrongly.

In all fairness, I think it was a council decision.
Probably a Guardian reading diversity awareness chap. Fuck, I really really sound like Richard Littlejohn.

As far as I'm concerned school is for learning.
It's not for celebrating a man/gods birth by dressing up as sheep and waving at your parents.

Don't present this stuff to my kids as fact. Sure, you can teach them about it, as long as you present it as a story.
