So apparently Islam hates Doctor Who

misscamI'll bet you almost anything that true followers of the Islamic faith are probably NOT followers of Doctor Who. When one's religion demands that people submit, pay a tax, or DIE, I suspect that is not going to endear a specific liking to the Timelord (a rebel who refuses to follow the rules?!), his companion (yikes, where is her burka?!), and their various adventures (tolerance? freedom? what kind of blasphemy is that?!)
Oh, good grief. I'm not sure if that's meant as a really bad joke or something, but it doesn't appear to be a troll, so... WTF, dude. What's this, how to be offensive and ignornat in five easy steps? And with the Thatcher loving, that thread is bound to get wanky. Fun times for all.
I need a drink now. Wankshelter bar, yay.

Date: 2006-09-18 04:54 am (UTC)Moreover, he's WRONG, because Who was traditionally a big favorite in Arabic - so I'm sure Muslims were watching - somewhere. And Buddhists, and Wiccans, and Agnostics and . . . etc.
I apologize for the ignorance of my countrymen!
Re: Oh dear
Date: 2006-09-18 11:09 am (UTC)God, I'm always doing that. ::smites stupid people::
And I'm sure my Science-Fiction-loving Muslim friend will be amused to discover that she can't like Dr Who AND be a Muslim. ::rolls eyes::

Date: 2006-09-18 12:21 pm (UTC)Especially because both the concept of "submission" (original meaning of Islam) as well as "tax-paying" (I think he could mean the zakat, the religious commandment to give alms to charity) are among those concepts of Islam that apply to its moderate interpretations as much as to the fundamentalist trends.
Ignorant much?
