On 04/24/09, Jeff Snyder quoted Steve Asher: Thought Police in Britain.

SA> It is (or was) an advertising campaign, and a number of US cities
have "Why
SA> Islam?" adverts promoting islam as a "religion of
peace". It puts the bus
SA> company in a quandary - do they censor such things, or allow them as free
SA> speech, and in the case of the British buses there were objections from
SA> some drivers over being assigned to drive buses which contradicted their
SA> faith.


While most Muslims may not act upon the violent tenets of their faith, and
probably do live peaceful lives, just like the rest of us, the fact remains
that the Qur'an does in fact promote the belief that under certain conditions,
Muslims are obligated to kill for their faith; they are supposed to kill
"infidels". Sadly, as we all know, there are extremists in every
group, and in
every religion, who take everything very literally. The truth is, again, as we
all should know by now, all of the major religions, and some of the others as
well, have supposedly killed in the name of their god at some time. They are
all guilty of some degree of hypocrisy when it comes to the
"peace" department.

I certainly wouldn't want to be in charge of one of those bus companies, and I
most certainly would refuse to drive one of those buses which proclaims that
God does not exist, if I were a Christian bus driver. I would fight it tooth
and nail. Are you aware of any cases where a Christian bus driver has gone to
court over this issue? If so, how did they fare?

SA> Britain is accommodating its muslim minority, while repressing its
SA> (professing) Christian majority - banning "Saint George"
parades, renaming
SA> Christmas as Winterval, serving halal food to all children in some schools,
SA> not having "piggy banks" in bank branches because it
"offends" the
SA> minority, and so on.


I find the level of political correctness which has overtaken the world in
recent years absolutely appalling. So in Britain it is now Winterval, and in
the USA it is "Happy Holidays". Truly sad...not that Jesus was
born anywhere
near that time of the year, but still. It seems to me that all of this
compromise is slowly leading to a unified world government, and a unified
world religion, but it certainly won't represent the things that I believe in.
