I'm offended - whose head can I cut off ?

TTwiggy, were you pissed last night and are now refusing to change your position like a stubborn child?

Snackbars is hilarious by the way, a few friends and I now use it frequently.

Any other racial/religious slurs you and your mates find funny?

Several, but I wouldn't want to get your knickers in any more of a twist...

I don't see why a thread about a cafe proprietor going on holiday has caused such offence

What difference does that make? It's about standards and decency.

Because if you are, you have a right to take offence at that if not then you are manufacturing offence to make a point!
The OP was not taking the piss out of you or ordinary Muslims from what I can see, that much is clear, the Snackbar gag (not one |I would ever use) is reasonable in this context considering the words they shout when going into battle or when lopping off some poor bds head.

You should be well aware that I am neither a Muslim nor a terrorist. You must also be aware that 'God is great' is a part of the call to prayer and as such is a phrase used by all Muslims, not just those engaged in beheadings. You should further be aware that while there may be some comic merit in applying the phrase in certain isolated instances, using a slur like this with a wide brush is a dangerous route to go down.

I am not 'manufacturing' offence. I am offended. I am capable of understanding my own emotional responses, ta very much.

Could you please give me an example, preferably backed up by evidence, of how this is "a dangerous route to go down"? Ta very much.

I thought you were better than this Guam. Do you really think the thread title is appropriate for this section of the forum?

It would not be my choice, however I dont see it as a big problem, I didn't see you complaining about the Dripping cock on another thread which was posted, that I found far more troubling, is there a reason you weren't offended by that rather than a wordplay (albeit childish)?

I haven't seen it; I don't read every thread on here. This one is hard to miss as it's in the thread title - which is my point.

TTwiggy - you're entitled to be offended by whatever you want to be offended by. I'm rather put out by a certain group of people blowing up and beheading folks while the so called moderates sit around and do the square root of fk all - the teachers and parents at the schools worrying about their beloved angels fancying jihad being a classic case in point.

However, be offended. Makes no difference.

Grouping people together and then tarring them with a negative connotation removes their individuality and makes it much easier to hate them. As to evidence, does 'history' count?

All I know is that I'm hungry - does anyone have a nutrigrain bar?

Not anymore, sorry

I can assure you that to many they're doing a fine job of making it easy to hate them all by themselves.

Yeah sure
I will wait for you to present offence at the next "slur" you see aimed at another religion and see if you will spring to their defence when ridiculed!

Sorry I actually agree with many of your positions but this one you have stepped into the Frog Box with imho!

I assure you I have seen no thread with a dripping cock in it. Was it on this sub forum or another?

If I take offence, I will say so. Free speech is ever so important, is it not?

I dislike the 'Snackbars' slur. Low-rent racism TBF.
I wonder what the next [Beavis & Butthead snigger] made up insult will be.

Oh dear, there are all types of ethnic types including white people that are happy to murder, rape and blow themselves up for this RELIGION.

I don't consider it racist at all personally.

The professionally offended seem to be out in force of late whilst those we are mocking are actually carrying out crimes against humanity on a huge scale.

I think the title fits considering these terrorist idiots have a habit of shouting it to announce their arrival just before chopping off a victims head or blowing themselves up.

Anyway, in further news. More misunderstood young Muslims have been misbehaving and clearly need some counselling to sort them out

We range in age from mid 20's to early 60's if the parents are coming out for a drink, too.

Love the headline and the typical British humour that followed. A few years ago the likes of Not the Nine O'Clock news would have done a sketch about it.

Oh! and the PHer that came up with the 'We're all going on an ISIS holiday' line.

Comedy gold

I thought the title was quite funny. The real tragedy of the story for me is the anguish of the politically correct numpties who have kids in their school they suspect will head off to maim and kill but they are not sure what to do. Don't want to alert the authorities in case it affects the poor little luvvies. A 5 year old uses the word gay in the playground the old bill are pilling in. 17 year olds playing an 18 game, social services called toute de suite.

It's the tragedy of the PC morons in the public sector and is having a terrible impact on us and our country.

Presumably you're all over the anti Christianity threads taking offence at comments taking the piss out of Jesus, then?

[dudleybloke]

Well if they don't want to be called snackbar they should stop doing snackbar type stuff.
