Little Green Soccer Balls is getting its mojo back!
God, it's a long time since Harry's Place managed to raise a proper lynch mob, (sample post: "What a piece of shit! String 'im up, give 'im what he wants, a one way trip to Allah!") but it's good to know they're back in business - for the longest time, it seemed like they were going the way of the Eustonauts, gradually subsiding into "ahhh Palestine, ggghrgh Iranian bus drivers, will this do". I make the point that what they actually seem to want is precisely the "Incitement to Religious Hatred" law that they were up in arms against two years ago, when they thought that this was a useful cost-free way to have a go at the Muslims and shore up the old liberal credentials, with predictably incendiary results. heh.
How sweet. They give an error if your referral url is from this blog.
ReplyDeleteIts as if they don't like you, "you tedious braying sloane".
works fine for me, wha wha wha! I don't think they've banned the referrer.
ReplyDeleteThey'd be serious if they weren't so funny.
ReplyDeleteMorgoth is my fave. Who's yours?
Mind you, not that funny. Here's a selection of comments for those who don't fancy reading the original thread - and who can blame them?
ReplyDelete"There should certainly be no further Muslim immigration" (ChrisC)
"Surprisingly the Independent has the solution to this problem on its front page. Adopt Swiss style immigration policies." (G Orwell)
"If the Islamic community will not get their own house in order and address the strong impression that there is a worryingly large Islamic fifth column living in Blighty, increasing anti Muslim sentiment will follow as night follows day – such anti Muslim sentiment will be entirely justified, because the threat from Islam and thus Muslims is not perceived, not some kind of illusion or fantasy, it's real." Nick (South Africa)
"1. You are talking about the followers of Islam as though they are small minority. They are a large minority, already numbering close on two million.
2. The increase in the number of Muslims as a proportion of the population is nigh on exponential - we've gone from a few thousands in the fifties to 2 million in the space of 50 years.
3. Muslims continue to tend to marry other Muslims from abroad adding to the problem of imported extremism, the high birth rate and the continuing immigration.....etc" (field)
"I would pass the following 2 laws and close down any mosque which failed to comply.
1. All communication, particularly preaching, to be in English only.
2. A non-religious open access area to be set aside within the mosque where members of the public (including journalists and Police) can wander in and listen to/monitor what is going on." (Gordon Bennett)
"Enough.
We have every right to tell these people to fuck off, taking their korans, hadiths, scarves, robes, and halal knives with them.
Its seriously taking the piss. We invited them here, accepted their bullshit by giving them mosques, schools, library books and allowing halal butchers, they are intolerant of Western values if we visit the Middle East, and they're trying to institute the same attitude in blighty." (Brip)
"Muslims are heinously, uniquely, different, presenting a problem all across Europe. And they just don't get it, even the more educated ones at CiF, when they are challenged about their denial, dishonesty, and victimhood cultural hostility.
Enough. Fit in, be friends, or fuck off." (Brip)
"What a piece of shit! String 'im up, give 'im what he wants, a one way trip to Allah!" (Canuckistani)
"I agree, I also can't understand why any incitement to religious hatred bill would not, by definition, net the 'holy' texts and prevent their publishing, distribution and public recitation. The vile, vicious and hateful Koran especially, but the Bible from which it was largely plagiarised as well." (Nick South Africa)
"Mainstream muslims are as guilty of religious hatred, as the buyers of kiddy-porn are guilty of the sexual degradation of minors" (Monty)
As far as I can see these postings have not drawn adverse comment from the author the piece, David T.
Can I expect a piece from Ratbiter in the next Private Eye alerting the public to the extremists tolerated and fostered by this gentleman and his website?
it's extraordinary, isn't it? He can't be unaware of them either.
ReplyDeleteI think he himself follows a policy of toleration and he makes remarks to that effect more than once (in relation to the mosques, not to the website). But as he's quite happy to call on other people to distance themselves, speak out etc it is, as you say, quite extraordinary.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's nothing - wait 'til they get going on the Fauxtography "Teh media loves Hezbollah LOL" schtick.
ReplyDeleteThere's a supremely entertaining thread somewhere in which Conor Foley attempts to defend Amnesty and HRW against charges of collaboration with Jihadists - it's like watching a guy playing Whack-a-Mole with raving, wingnut moles.
David T, Gene etc. may be a tad misguided, but the comments section is frequently stuffed with slightly more tactful Malkinoids.
Hmm, works now. Strange.
ReplyDeleteIts like stumbling into a time warp reading that stuff. Of course it was't . the Muslims then, it was some other religious group. Now whatever happened to them?
David T. must be reasonably tolerant of these guys. He doesn't really engage with them, whereas even the mildest anti-Zionist is leapt on. It suggests a certain moral blindness, if nothing else.
It's not the monsters who are bug-eyed. It's those who think they see them.
ReplyDeletecompletely off-topic, but any chance of a piece on the Darfur piece talks?
ReplyDeletejohn b
maybe - I've allowed myself to get a bit lazy in keeping up with these.
ReplyDeleteThis might be the thread the Rodent means (sample post: "In 1944, the likes of Conor Foley would have been complaining that we were being too hard on Nazis. I think that sums him and his ilk up. Traitors to Secular Civilisation and willing apologists for Collectivist Tyranny.")
ReplyDeleteHa! Not only is that Morgoth again but I guessed before I looked!
