Tesco V Muslim
It's not often that you'll find me siding with a global capitalist conglomerate against one man, but when that man turns out to be yet another whining fucking Muslim 'victim' then my socialist worldview evaporates like hot piss on a cold winters morning.In case you don't know the story, Mohamed Ahmed, left, worked as a fork lift truck driver (doesn't sound Islamic to me - as I'm fairly sure electronic motorised lifting equipment was forbidden by Muhammad) when he was asked to shift some palettes of beer. Yeah, I'm sure you can see where this one is heading. Needless to say Mo (I'm shortening his name because I can't be arsed to type the whole name, I'm never quite sure how to spell it and I'm hoping it's against Islam - let's be fair what isn't nowadays ?) threw his Koran out of his Mosque. Like a fucking little child.
When he refused to do his job Tesco sacked him. Mo then took Tesco to court for not respecting his religious beliefs. I've put beliefs in italics because that's all they are. Beliefs. Myths. Stories. Fucking make believe you stupid cunt now move those fucking palettes !
Sorry, sorry, now where was I ?
Ah yes, Mo takes Tesco to court. But get this, Tesco win ! Mo gets the finger from the fucking judge !
Is this a blow struck for rationality at last ? Well it certainly appears that way, lets just hope the inevitable appeal won't go Mo's way.

A Touching Tale Of Islamic Love
Two weeks after The Observer revealed the shocking story of Rand Abdel-Qader, 17, murdered because of her infatuation with a British soldier in Basra, southern Iraq, her father is defiant. Sitting in the front garden of his well-kept home in the city's Al-Fursi district, he remains a free man, despite having stamped on, suffocated and then stabbed his student daughter to death.
Abdel-Qader, 46, a government employee, was initially arrested but released after two hours. Astonishingly, he said, police congratulated him on what he had done. 'They are men and know what honour is,' he said."
Where the fuck do I begin with this one ? I wasn't even going to mention it until I had a request to do so because it's simply so fucked-up in and of itself that merely commenting on it feels a little underwhelming.
First I'll fill you in on the rest of the details. Mental religious type discovers her daughter has developed a crush on a soldier of a different faith and, along with his two sons, beats and ultimately stabs her to death, in front of her mother, who, I might add, had originally called her two sons to stop her father. Sadly for her they too were of the "mental religious" disposition, so obviously piled straight in.
I'm feeling a little lazy and also this story is a little more depressing that the usual religious stupidity I comment on so I'll post up little snippets and then comment on them.
"'Death was the least she deserved,' said Abdel-Qader. 'I don't regret it. I had the support of all my friends who are fathers, like me, and know what she did was unacceptable to any Muslim that honours his religion,' he said. "
What kind of thinking could convince you that it is acceptable to kill your daughter ? What kind of thinking could convince others that it is acceptable for you to kill your own kin ? What kind of shit-pit, backward thinking, dark-ages time-warp trapped, intellectual dessert of a country could this kind of behaviour seem acceptable to the police ?
An Islamic country that's where.
If they aren't out in the street violently protesting teddy bears or cartoons, they're stuck inside kicking each other to death or making bombs to blow up slightly different muslims.
"Abdel-Qader, a Shia, says he was released from the police station 'because everyone knows that honour killings sometimes are impossible not to commit'. Chillingly, he said: 'The officers were by my side during all the time I was there, congratulating me on what I had done.'"
Bringing peace and a 21st century modern world zeitgeist to a country so culturally and morally backward that the police think infanticide is justified must be akin to attempting to teach howler monkeys Quantum Mechanics. In other words I really don't think it can be done.
I'll also take umbrage with the police "congratulating" him on what he had done. Its not a massive achievement is it ? Three men overpowering and murdering a 17 year old girl is hardly conquering Everest is it ?
"Homosexuality is punishable by death, a sentence Abdel-Qader approves of with a passion. 'I have alerted my two sons. They will have the same end [as Rand] if they become contaminated with any gay relationship. These crimes deserve death - death in the name of God,' he said. "
I'm always a little suspicious of anyone who is really passionately against homosexuality, as they say "Methinks the gentleman protest too much !"
But "Death in the name of God" ? Really ? Imagine if you ran this guy through some psychoanalysis ! Murdering your own child for speaking to a white man ? Fine. Killing your own children for falling in love with someone of the same sex ? Absolutely. Murdering your wife for daring to suggest you shouldn't kill your child ? Please be my guest.
Just be careful where you point that cartoon.
"Rand's mother used to call her 'Rose'. 'That was my nickname for her because when she was born she was so beautiful,' she said.
'Now, my lovely Rose is in her grave. But, God will make her father pay, either in this world ... or in the world after.'"
Yeah, you're not really helping here missus. It's this ridiculous notion of this god of yours that caused the trouble in the first place.
It is truly a mystery how these insane and dangerous myths still perpetuate in these modern, enlightened times.
Still, we're on the umpteenth series of Big Brother so we're hardly in a position to lord it over them are we ?
Jihad !

The Odd Delusion
I've noticed that an awful lot of these awful religious fellows seem to garner an awful amount of media coverage, weather they're expressing dismay at the latest scientific finding, defending radical Muslims under the guise of freedom or swearing blind they never, ever, ever, fucked any kids in the ass or face.
Why is it that whenever these people open their mouths the British media can't wait to tell us all what they say ? No one is phoning Paul Daniels or David Blaine to ask them about acceptable timescales for abortion so why do these other tricksters get so much coverage ? What about Uri "Spoon-bender" Gellar ? Isn't his opinion on the Iraq war just as valid as the Pope's ?
On that note I'll be dedicating this post to religious insanity from around the world I'll add links below to anything mad and religious.
