All I can say is for **** sake ...... really
So.... how long before we become a muslim nation?
I wish they would all just hurry up and die.
Allah would be proud.
30 virgins (or whatever the ridiculous lie is) for you!!
As a muslim,
no lolAre you "brilliant"?
I don't understand why the non extremeist muslims don't force them out as they don't speak for the majority.
So what happened to the multicultural society we're all living in and our non elected government is trying to ram down our throats?
Well if you are targeting sections of the community then it doesn't make sense to go out your way to offend them and given it is well known that dogs are thought to be unclean in Islamic culture generally it is perhaps a little bit thoughtless to use a dog on the advertising materials. It isn't as if the poster has anything to do with a dog unit, Rex is there because he looks cute, there is no more relevant reason for his presence than that.
Maybe it is just moaning for the sake of it and maybe it isn't, however it wouldn't have been hard not to use a puppy on the leaflet if targeting Muslims in particular with this campaign. While I find the idea of a dog being offensive a bit odd I'm prepared to accept that people believe different things to me.

Do some homework.
I've never heard of Sikhs moaning about anything (except crash helmets).
It's not the way they work. They have this nifty system where they play both sides of the fence to keep both sides (extremists and moderates) at peace with each other. It's quite ingenious, really.
When you complain about extremists, they are quick to complain that you're stereotyping. They then loudly decry the actions/words of the extremists to reassure you that "We're not like them".
But when you ask them why they don't take action against the extremists, they give you some cobblers about no Muslim group having authority to censor any other group because technically they are all equal.
So on the one hand they will tell you that they don't agree with the extremists, but on the other hand they will try to justify their refusal to do anything about them.
It's a complete cop-out. My guess is that they do this to disguise the fact that many (if not most) of the "moderates" actually support the extremists - at least in principle, if not in practice.

In a way it's like Nothern Ireland where the Politial wing "sinn fein" of the IRA was poorly represented both in the north and south of the country yet claimed to represent a united ireland without a political mandate.
It is a couple of Muslims somewhere and a whole religion should not be assessed on the feelings of those two.
Thats like thinking every German is a Nazi - oh, we do.
Walk around your local Muslim community and ask how many of them give a rats arse about it.
