So apparently Islam hates Doctor Who

I'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.

Stupidity abounds!
*pours us both a shot*

Thank you. Between this and the CSI wank, I need to get seriously drunk.

Ye gods, now I'm deeply ashamed of my home fandom.

*pats* Drink?

Just Pepsi Max :D

Sure thing.

Funny how I prefer Pepsi Max to Cola Light, but Cola to Pepsi. Hum. /randomness.

Oh yeah, I've been following that thread avidly. I don't know if I should be amused or horrified. Either way, I could definitely use a drink from the Wankshelter bar myself!

I'm torn myself, so... Tequila? White wine? Bloody Mary?

I admit, I have a special hate-on for people making sweeping bigoted pronouncements who can't spell "fascist" correctly.

That a bit like how people will slamm you for "bad grammer"?

Unbelievable.

*shakes head* First the Pope, now this moron.

At least the Pontiff ain't sharing my fandom. Unless he's a closet Whovian.

...What the hell?

Quite. As you read more of the thread, it gets even more baffling. The poster even goes on about how generalizing is bad, mmkay?

*blinkblinkblinkityblink*

That begs a shot of tequila. Leave the bottle.

*boggles more*

Yes indeed.

The brain gets good boggle exercise today¨, truly.

*orders a rum and cola*

Is it a full moon somewhere? All the crazy people seem to be crawling out of the woodwork.

Must be. Maybe there are 21 full moons at Jupiter and it's affecting us too.

Um.

Quite.

*flees the stupid*

My word. What a way to marginalize people of a certain faith...

Quite charming, innit?

I just read through the guy's LJ and I'm astounded. He's almost the exact politial opposite of what I'd expect a well-educated African American man to be.

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!

I apologize for the ignorance of my countrymen!

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::

Can I just pretend I don't live in this country, that I wasn't born here?

Any Canadians looking to adopt a 23 year old redheaded singer? I'm told I make a mean peanut butter butterscotch chip cookie...

If that fails, I do adopt honourary Norwegians.

*Sigh.*

Pour me some rum. The world is just too much for me right now.

Yes, ma'am.

My Muslim stepmother would disagree, if she had any energy after yelling at the moderate-alienating government.

Go her!

I like people who justly deliver the smackdown.

*is jibbering and foaming at the mouth in a corner next to the bar* Make mine a double, would you?

Double and triple, if you need.

I probably shouldn't be laughing, but I am. "Submit, pay a tax or DIE" is one of the best enumerations I've ever heard.

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?

Even admits to be ignorant in later threads.

At least he admits to rabble-rousing. A daquiri would still go down nicely after that, though.

Where's that sun when you need it, dammit?

You got it.

wassaffrrrssnnrrkkkkkgyaAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Quite.

Oh god. I started to get sick to my stomach when he started to talk about how we're actually treating the Guantanamo detainees too kindly. Where's my gin and tonic?

I know. I think my eyes glazed over at that point.

Right here. We have some olives about if you want as well.

And here is part of the reason why I've never made a single post in

doctorwho and why I went so far as to start my own DW community...that place just seems like an even nastier version of the Outpost Gallifrey. I have no time for either.

What's wrong with those people?

*joins Cam in the wankshelter* A cocktail, please, bartender. A STRONG one.

It can get very wanky in there. Then again, so can T&C. No comm is immune and the larger it is, the stronger the chances of batshit lingering.

Coming right up.

o.0 buh?

The logic, it is gone?

What the bloody hell? I don't know whether to be amused or concerned about the number of times he started a comment with 'I don't know much about Thatcher/Islam/anything at all', and then proceeded to expound upon the subject at great length.

Hello, by the way. Hope you don't mind me adding my two cents worth. I friended you a while back for the fic (and the weird news links) and just had to comment on the utter stupidity. It's either that or rant at the cats.

Not knowing about stuff is apparantly no hinder to lecturing others about it, I guess.

Heh, no worries. This LJ is an open sorts, so feel free to comment whenever you feel like.
