Like come on, certain people really can't just let something go for once without all the moaning? Just let them have their promotion and if you don't like it, don't go there

I love the way time zones work... In Thailand it's now 21:00, back in the Netherlands it's 16:00, in America it's morning and in some places they still live in ancient times where you'll get punished for something related to religion.

After the US Supreme Court decision this week one of those places might be closer to home than you think when you consider the possible consequences.

Not just there in Indo Big H here in Blighty nursery and junior schools have had the Christmas Nativity shows  stopped because the Muslim parents got offended because their kids were subjected to Christianity values going against the teachings of Islam.

Actually most of these cases are caused by 'wake'* twerps that think Muslims are offended when generally they don't care at all. 

*a substituted for o because of weird forum rule.

So they stopped the nativity shows because they didn’t want to get bombed?

No they didn't, you just have to look at some of the rabid evangelist churches in the US to see exactly the same sort of extreme Christian behaviour that you see from radical Muslims. There are even Christians performing terrorist bombings occasionally around the world although they are not widely reported by the media because it's not popular to report radical christians in the press.

Well thank goodness they really didn’t cross the line and call it Red-Wings.

No they caved in as usual because the Muslim parents didn't want their children integrated into wstern learning.

Sad in the very least. What next, can’t say God Save the Queen either?
