Thread: Afraid to make jokes about Islam

Source BNP eNews


The confession by comedian Rory Bremner that he and his colleagues are “afraid to joke about Islam” for fear of being killed, has revealed precisely how far the stifling dark shadow of Islam has already fallen over Britain and all of Europe.
Mr Bremner, most famous for his contributions towards the shows Spitting Image, Week Ending, Now — Something Else, and Whose Line Is It Anyway?, made the remarks in a documentary due to be aired on TV this week.
“Comedians are forced to censor their jokes because they fear a backlash if they offend Islamic fundamentalists,” Mr Bremner was quoted as saying.
“The greatest danger now is that one of the toughest issues of our time is religion.
“When [I'm] writing a sketch about Islam, I’m writing a line and I think, ‘If this goes down badly, I’m writing my own death warrant there'.
“Because there are people who will say, ‘Not only do I not think that’s funny but I’m going to kill you’ — and that’s chilling,” Mr Bremner said.

Are they runnin out of other stuff they can make fun of?

Why can't we joke about Islami,without fear of retribution?

Muslims, globally, are so over-sensitive about the public image that they foster, regarding Islam, that they can not show any form of tolerance to criticism.

If any other religious group exhibited such intolerance to criticism, they would be branded as rigid and defensive to say the least.

Muslim countries openly criticise and condemn Christians, Jews any other religious group and atheists with free abandon. They think that they have a right to do so, with impunity.

These countries openly restrict freedom of worship, selectively.
Muslim sects repress and condemn each other, violently.

Because they can't take a joke.

"The stifling dark shadow of Islam". Very well put indeed.

Fundamentalists. Is there such an animal as a non-fundamentalist Muslim?

If you have to ask that then you either only want to hear a particular answer or you're not prepared for any other answer.

Sadly the BNP, EDL and other assorted idiots don't like Muslims. I assume this is because all racists are gay kiddle fiddlers.

They are also very stupid.

Of course there are non fundamentalist Muslims.
They're bloody useless, they are terrified of the fundamentalist.

So totally unlike Israelis then, or the US fundies who are always claiming they are being persecuted right?

^#18 Slackula.
As H/head #8 more succinctly put it, Muslims "can't take a joke".

Fundamentalist Muslims think that they have a god given right to kill anyone who blasphemes against Islam. They will kill innocents in mass murder as jihadist martyrs.
Martyrs?
For what insane belief?
Which insane god or prophet do they follow?
By the urging of which mad mullah?


Even a joke about Islam is blasphemy

Maybe you guys are confusing fundamentalism with extremism.

So were you born into Islam or did you convert?

The fundamentalists are the extremists.

Mr Fred,
I don't think a non Muslim could get away with broadcasting any of the above humour you posted,to a Muslim audience.

Converted or reverted depending on how you look at things.

Why not. Jokes like that aren't having a go at anyone really. Just taking the piss a bit. A non Muslim told it to me after I converted. All I did was spice it up a bit.

Just what depths does your career have to plummet through to decide that it's good publicity to be featured in a BNP article? Very sad.


Nice clips, Mr Fred. Is that your voice on the one about the paratrooper?

Did you convert in order to marry a muslim or because you believe in it? (both?)

If we ever go fishing together, please bring a Muslim friend with you. Boat has limited room for the beer and I intend to drink it all.

Sadly that evil drone on the recording is me. Sorry about the Yorkshire accent but I'm a Barnsley lad. First attempt at adding the pictures so forgive cock ups.

I was at the point of converting when I met my future wife. I stopped the booze and behaving like a dog 11 months before I converted. The conversion was In the UK and before I popped the question. My wife didn't know I had converted until after she accepted.
I was a total bastard before but I didn't half have fun. I still have fun but no hangovers now. Bonus.

I find this really interesting.... what was it about Islam that made you want to convert? It's ok if you don't want to answer.

No problem in answering.

Long one so I'll tell you tomorrow. I have to visit some people tomorrow and that will involve getting up at 5am so it has to be bed time now.
Maybe I'll' do it on my thread or somewhere else as it will take this one way off topic but I'll PM you the link so you don't miss it.

It all started with Chinese food and a lot of this..

Cheers

6#17 Mr Fred,
You ask "why not"(sic)?
Because Muslims get offended too easily if an infidel jokes about Islam.
