NEWS BRIEFLETS

* Regarding the item linked yesterday about Sheikh Feiz Muhammad’s enlightened comments on sexual assault; this is the promotion for the event at which Sheikh Feiz spoke. DEATH DEATH DEATH!

* Australians prefer a blank screen to public broadcasting.

* Jackass of the week: Terry Jones!

Posted by Tim B. on 04/15/2005 at 01:55 AM
  1. This has not been reported anywhere in the Australian media. A few questions:

    Will this neanderthal be prosecuted for hate speech against women?

    Will he be prosecuted for encouraging violence against women?

    If not, why not?

    And where are the statements of outrage from Australian so-called feminists?

  2. Just waiting for ‘Mushtaq Omar’ and ‘Nwab’ to appear for a bit more race-baiting with the ‘rabid right-wing racists’ who infest T/B’s website.  It’s getting old fellas - kinda like me going over to ‘Webdairy’ and posting pro-Israeli spiels under the name ‘Mordechai Goldberg’.

    Actually, Wil Anderson is another comedian whose best work is when he’s NOT talking politics or Iraq or Bush.  Which leaves about 1 minute of the Glasshouse when he’s oggling at Corinne. It’s tragic really - as he can be funny when talking about things he understands. Like pussy man nail polish. So kewl!

  6. dee ... in a more serious vein ... i’ve been spending too much time at paul & carls ... it shows ... anyway, australians are generally too easy going and this virtue might also be our undoing.  many australians are too laid back to notice or even respond to what i regard as a cultural cancer ... we need leaders with guts to respond to this illegal behaviour masquerading as multi-culturism, religion or polical correctness.

  8. greenpike ... i don’t mind the glasshouse (usually), especially dave hughes who is stupid and imho quite funny ... but the political satire shows its abc (public broadcaster) heritage and drags a good show down to something a tad less desirable.  i can and do laugh at jokes directed at both sides of politics, but the jokes wear thin when they lean to one target.

  9. Sorry dee,
    You will not be seeing too much corrective action. In an age where the law in Victoria sees Christian preachers prosecuted for pointing out what the Koran actually says, and assorted sheiks seek to define what is practised, you cannot have much trust in the law or civil authorities.

  10. That’s a nice promotion poster; all it needs are skull and cross bones to balance out all that text and drab background. 

    But no doubt Sheikh Feiz Muhammad is a man of peace, and completely and enthusiastically immersed in our wonderful multicultural world, and this poster was printed by mistake.  Things like that happen all the time.  Don’t they?

  15. I’d forgotten which Python was Jones until I Google-Imaged him.

    He seemed to be the least talented of all the troupe, always given the same stammering, overwhelmed character to play in every sketch.

    I point this out because for the rest of the cast one could at least overlook some political idiocy by noting, “Well, he’s a very good comic player, anyway.”

  19. You fools!  You have all taken the poster out of context - it clearly was a meeting to explain the concept of death (most Christians are preoccupied with death, you know!), and you can even buy DVDs on the topic.

    You lot probably think those DVDs contain bomb making instructions or something equally sinister.

    No siree!  Those DVDs explain death in the words of the Prophet Mahommed (pbuh), how to care for and discuss this important and terminal meeting with Allah (swt) with relatives and friends.

    They explain the different types of death (martyrdom, natural causes, death through infidel intervention, death through unsafe practices with goats, and death through unsafe drinking water), and what heavenly reward one is likely to see as a result.

    You infidel scum always take things like this out of context.  It’s enough to make the Baby Mahommed cry.

  21. Terry is just spouting the same old crap.

    Now the UN is saying the children of Iraq were better off with Saddam.

    Oh yeah, those chidrens prisons are no doubt sorely missed.

    I just don’t beleive some of the crap I hear from the likes of the UN and Amnesty.

    First they tell us that hundreds of thousands of people are dying in Saddam’s Iraq and then they say well not really…now it is worse.

    I have no doubt the fighting has made life difficult for people and I know the economy in that country needs a lot of help, but I have not noticed people starving. They may not have much and the water and sewage problems were always there.

    After years of being accused of starving Iraqi children with sanctions it really pisses me off to hear the same people say they were better off then in the good old days.

  26. Deo Vindice, you jumped the gun. At least wait for me to post before you sink the slippers in. And I’d be delighted if you could show me where I have talked about “rabid right-wing racists” - or is that just a scare quote? For the record, I agree that Feiz Muhammad’s remarks deserve wider exposure and condemnation. I hope that is clear.

    Nice to see that we’re engaging in character attacks against Terry Jones. Now that’s predictable.

    White Knight Crusade, have you been watching Romper Stomper again? (Note for US readers: Australian film about white supremacist gangs in Melbourne.) PS This kind of ranting sounds like doom-and-gloom. Aren’t we supposed to ridicule that find of shit?

    Re ABC TV, suggesting that story means no one values the public broadcaster is like David Flint saying we are all monarchists because a lot of people watched a fucking royal wedding. WTF?

    This thread is a pretty dismal effort, boys and girls. I expect better from you lot. Pick up your boots. I’ll be back later to check on your work.

    Well, nwab, we were ridiculing that kind of shit….or didn’t you click on that link to the DEATH DEATH DEATH poster?  Probably not.

    From a more objective approach….. from post #22 (which is purely sick) to post #27 there are 5 comments, including yours.  Assuming #23 is negative feedback as well, 4 out of 5 comments are against it (go watch Stripes).  We didn’t have time to gain the momemtum to deal with the Idiot White Knight before you started urinating on the thread.

    Nice job, nwab.  Good knee jerk reaction against the regular posters here, while ignoring the exact same problem from the other side of the fence.  That Deo made an uncalled snide remark about you is only partially mitigating.

    While you are pushing for the “true Australian”, I’d like to stick my two bits in (that’s a Yank expression).

    In the USA, white supremacists are viewed as hate mongers, fools, and idiots.  It’s no surprise that their “Down Under” counterparts are similar in nature.  It’s tim’s blog, but I hope you get banned.  Idiots like you (of all races, I might add) have caused major problems in the USA for decades through their spewing of hatred.  Except the direction of your aim, it’s no different than Sheikh Feiz Muhammad’s crap.

  39. Deo Vindice,

    I can’t speak for my insane white supremacist friend, but I can assure you that I am a real person.

    My initial interest in Mr. Blair’s site was due to certain comments he made.

    I have engaged Mr. Blair privately, and enjoyed meaningful interaction with many contributors.  With the exception of one contributor, who was quickly criticised by other contributors, I have seen no evidence to suggest that either Mr. Blair,  or a majority of contributors are racist.

    I am 34 years old, of Egyptian heritage, and a proud Australian who loves cricket and Rugby League.

  41. The mentality of the Muslims who carried out the recent racial gang rapes of young Australian women is directly linked to the preaching of people like Feiz Muhammed.

    In fact, the mindset is identical.

    So if we put these two facts together, its easy to see that the rape of non-Muslim women is being encouraged and rationalised by speeches like this one.

  42. Wow, an example of that endangered species, the Overt White Racist.

    With due respect the_real_jeffs, America’s problem is not White Leaders; it’s blacks and other non-white races causing the horrible decay.

    Don’t forget the JOOS. But perhaps I’m maligning you there. Not all racists are anti-semites. But it’s a good first approximation.

    Godly White men are risking and loosing their lives in Iraq to rid us of the scum

    Not forgetting the efforts of such Godly White Men as Condoleeza Rice and her predecessor, General Colin Powell.
    Have you taken a look at the photos of our guys in Afghanistan or Iraq recently? Of the recent VC winner in the UK armed forces? What about the heroic Iraqis who continue to volunteer for Army service, despite bombs and massacres? Correct me if I’m wrong, but although they’re Caucasians, I doubt you’d consider them “White”. Do you ever let reality get in the way of your worldview?

    But perhaps there’s hope. You’ve expressed some ideas I find loathsome while remaining courteous and respectful of others’ views. I’m not sure I’ve lived up to your example in that regard.

  43. One more salvo in white knight’s general direction:

    Thank god that political correctness no longer applies to Arabs and Islam generally.  September 11 turned out to be their swan song.  Soon, other races will make the same mistake, and then we can act, whilst be able to speak freely again.

    If September 11th 2001 was the Arabs-Muslim swansong, what about 30th January 2005? The election in Iraq? The one where over 5 million Arab Muslims (not forgetting millions more non-Muslim Arabs and Muslim Kurds) braved the Jihadis and voted?

    I loath racism. Whether it be espoused by white, brown, green, or pink-with-purple-spots, and have little time for Political Correctness or its antithesis. But that should be bleedin obvious.

  48. White Knight, you are either a stupid leftie parodying what you imagine to be a RWDB, or you are some regular poster pulling a not-so-funny prank.  Your Bible quotes aren’t even close, and are skewed to support your “beliefs”.  From the King James version of the Bible:

    Leviticus 20:24

    “But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people. “

    Leviticus 25:44-46

    “44: Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
    45: Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
    46: And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour. “

    If a joke, cease now.  If not a joke, piss off.

  52. More Fun Levitican Quotes:

    Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
    Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
    And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
    And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
    And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
    Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
    These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
    And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
    They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
    Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

    Leviticus 11:3-12

    So naturally, no White ever eats bacon, or ham, or pork, or oysters, or crab, or prawns, or even bunny rabbits.

    However, feeding Trolls is tiresome after a while, be it on locusts (OK) or camels (Not OK). Our Aryan Caped Crusader neglected to answer any actual points of debate, merely quoting irrelevant words from a Holy Book. And there I thought I’d found a rare Overt White Racist, rather than the common (or Garden) Lesser Spotted Troll.

    BTW for lurkers, here is the KJV version of Leviticus. Have fun with the exact instructions regarding disposition of foetid Dingo Lamb’s kidneys during sacrifices 3500 years ago.

    I will, however, quote from another Holy Book, of equal relevance:

    [B]III - A Discordian is Required during his early Illumination to Go Off Alone & Partake Joyously of a Hot Dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns).

    IV - A Discordian shall Partake of No Hot Dog Buns, for Such was the Solace of Our Goddess when She was Confronted with The Original Snub.

    V - A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing what he reads.

  54. And here is another quote, although it is about a holy object, and a quote from the Book Of Armament, and from a not-so-holy source:

    LAUNCELOT: We have the Holy Hand Grenade.

    ARTHUR: Yes, of course! The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch! ‘Tis
    one of the sacred relics Brother Maynard carries with him! Brother
    Maynard! Bring up the Holy Hand Grenade!

    [singing]

    How does it, uh… how does it work?

    BROTHER MAYNARD: I know not, my liege.

    ARTHUR: Consult the Book of Armaments!

    MAYNARD: Armaments, Chapter Two, Verses Nine to Twenty-One.

    BROTHER: “And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, ‘Oh, Lord, bless this thy hand grenade that with it thou
    mayest blow thy enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.’ And the Lord did grin, and people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and
    carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large—”

    MAYNARD: Skip a bit, Brother.

    BROTHER: “And the Lord spake, saying, ‘First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less.
    Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either
    count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be
    reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.’”

    MAYNARD: Amen.

    ALL: Amen.

    ARTHUR: Right! One… two… five!

    MAYNARD: Three, sir!

    ARTHUR: Three!

  61. Nice to see that we’re engaging in character attacks against Terry Jones. Now that’s predictable.

    I think many if not most of us can separate the brilliance of an actor’s or comedian’s acting or humor from the lunacy or short-sightedness of his political comments.  Personally I think Terry Jones is funny as hell.  I also think George Clooney is a terrific actor as if Tim Robbins, Heath Ledger, and so on.

    But their political views do invite satire and sarcasm.  I have no problem with complimenting on one aspect and ridiculing them on the other.
