Colorado Sheriff's Joke Causes Muslim Woman's 'hurt feelings'

Some quick comments:

Oh here we go again - a poor muslim suffering from hurt feelings - oh the inhumanity of it all!!!!!  Now a voluntary Christmas tree trimming party is "politically incorrect" and Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden's joke has caused hurt feelings to a muslim woman who chooses to remain unnamed!

You know what I think is politically incorrect? - having people come into or live in the USA (or Great Britain or any other Christian nation) and tell us our Judeo/Christian traditions are 'politically incorrect' then go on to force our public schools and buildings to be rebuilt to accomodate their medieval religion/customs with footbaths, special toilets they can squat on, separate swimming/pool times for boys/men and girls/women, halal meals, and prayer rooms that are quickly turned into mosques thus no other faith can use it - otherwise the room are defiled- etc etc/ 

Then this woman goes on to spout the typical, over-used twaddle:

"We can't let our religion be hijacked by extremists," she said.

Oh really??

Why there are 1.5 BILLION  muslims in the world  including the supposedly small number of extremists - so the extremists are clearly outnumbered by moderate muslims therefore why don't the moderates eradicate those who do not represent them and threaten their countries and people? - those who cause bloodshed and terrorism?  Instead these "mainstream" muslims trot out the above statement (or facsimile) as some kind of shield that protects them from the truth & reality.  Ask a muslim man or woman the above question and don't hold your breath waiting for an answer.

Especially when the true feelings of many muslims is voiced again by this unnamed 'volunteer" who also suffers from unverified "threats" (from who??) :

 "an elected official jesting about the killing of Muslims goes beyond politically incorrect."

Surely US Marines helping to eliminate the "muslim extremists" would be welcome by 'moderate' muslims who are angry these 'extremists' are "hyjacking their religion & killing their people". 

But no - they/she view them as one of her own = muslim............

So which one is it?

Hear the doublespeak?

Sheriff's Muslim jokes draw concerns

Article:

A volunteer for the nonprofit Muslims Against Hunger group is not upset Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden plans to hold a Christmas tree-trimming party - an event Alderden proudly calls politically incorrect.

But the woman, a Muslim who lives in Northern Colorado, is concerned about a comment Alderden made while giving a speech at a Marine Corps Ball last month. The sheriff briefly posted a transcript of the speech on his Web site.

In the speech, Alderden joked about bumper stickers and highlighted one which read, "U.S. Marines: Travel agents to Allah."

The speech has been removed from the sheriff's Web site, and he declined to comment about the speech.

9NEWS also asked a dozen former Marines who heard his speech for their thoughts. None of them wanted to be quoted.

The woman, whose name is not being published because she has received threats, said an elected official jesting about the killing of Muslims goes beyond politically incorrect.

"Anytime you put someone down, whether it's for religion or race or anything, it doesn't just hurt the individual, it actually hurts the community where we live, and it's really not time to start doing things like this," she said.

The Muslim-American community contributes much to society, she said, and she also pointed out Muslim-American soldiers have died in the current wars while fighting for the United States.

"We're proud to be in this country," she said.

Cases like that of Nidal Malik Hasan, the man accused of shooting fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, are the exception rather than the rule, she said.

"We can't let our religion be hijacked by extremists," she said.

UK Population Jihad - Muslim Majority in Roman Catholic Schools

More disturbing news of the rampant Islamisation of Britain. 

Statistics tell us that the Muslim colonisers are outbirthing the British people by 10 times. The Labour government pandered to greedy, oversexed muslim males and legitimized the imported muslim polygamy (going against British law to do so) thus we now have thousands of muslim men and their breeding harems milking the British benefit system.  It comes as no surprise Mohammed is now the number one name used for baby boys born in Britain. 

The high rate of muslim inbreeding caused birth defectsis placing a strain on the NHS  - So whilst in Britian the NHS is trying to  prevent smokers,  the obese  and  the elderly  from receiving medical treatment - citing their lifestyles or age as justification to deny surgery, organ transplant, etc -- even though the vast majority of these people are long time British taxpayers --there continues to be virtual silence on the choice of Pakistani muslims (often at least one partner is a recent immigrant) to marry their first cousins.

Muslims have created huge no go areas as well as implemented (again with the government's approval) their own judicial system of Sharia Law.

Just this week we found out that muslims English speaking children are a minority in many London (and other city) schools - areas with high muslim populations.

Now - even Christian schools are being muslimised - and school bathrooms will soon be "adapted" for muslim use.

The British taxpayer funded POPULATION JIHAD continues at warp speed.

Christian pupils outnumbered by Muslims even in Roman Catholic schools

Christian pupils are now outnumbered by Muslims at Roman Catholic schools in some parts of England.

A survey has found 24 Catholic primary schools in the North West and the Midlands teach a minority of churchgoing children.

Fewer than one in 10 children are Catholic at one school in Birmingham, while the Church is ending its involvement with a similar establishment in Blackburn.

Overall, Catholics make up 73.34 per cent of pupils at the 2,300 schools linked to the denomination across England and Wales.

But The Tablet, a weekly Catholic magazine, found that in Oldham, Blackburn, Wolverhampton and Birmingham there has been a sharp decline in the proportion of Catholics being educated in local faith schools.

At English Martyrs in Sparkhill, Birmingham, just 36 of the 410 pupils are Catholic while the vast majority are Muslim.

At Sacred Heart Primary in Salford, there are only seven Catholic pupils and moves are under way to remove it from the diocese’s jurisdiction.

Canon Anthony McBride said: “It seems that, for some reason, many Catholic parents in Sacred Heart parish have, over a number of years, ceased to support their school.”

An inspection by the diocese in 2007 said the situation was “seriously affecting the school’s ability to provide a traditional Catholic education”.

Most of the non-Catholic parents let their children attend assemblies although a church visit led to “friction”.

Last year the Catholic Education Service said Catholic schools should provide multi-faith prayer rooms for Muslim, Jewish, Hindu and Sikh students.

It also suggested bathrooms should be adapted to accommodate ritual cleansing.

HISTORY & GEOGRAPHY TO BE ELIMINATED FROM BRITISH PRIMARY SCHOOLS

The brainwashing of British school children continues.

First it was the removal of Christian and British history words from the Oxford Children's Dictionary - now the UK's Labour Party led government is considering the removal of history and geography curricula from Primary schools. Clearly another overt effort by these looney leftists to prevent British children from learning about their heritage.

So what is more important than history & geography - to these dhimmified social engineering fanatics?

Government advisor, Sir Jim Rose, "proposed replacing up to 14 individual subjects with a “theme-based” approach to give teachers more flexibility to teach fewer subjects in more depth."

Thus this continues to open the door to the teaching of more "emotive" subjects geared towards social engineering topics.

Clearly Sir Rose feels that the children would be better off learning about the general topics of "happiness" and "healthy living".   Of course - the real intent is to ensure that all children be indoctrinated with a heavy diet of what Labour/EU deems constitutes happiness and health - seasoned with a large spoonful of political correctness.

This is another instance of the dumbing down of British schools (and society in general) in order to make less savvy future voters who more easily manipulated by the EUSSR-ocrats. 

It also falls into Labours philosophy of lowering the expectations of all British students in order to accomodate the the rampantly growing and much lesser educated immigrant population.   No surprise that muslims also play into curricula revisions - we know that back in 2007,  teaching about the Holocaust and Crusades was stopped - so as to not offend muslims:

"Teachers are dropping controversial subjects such as the Holocaust and the Crusades from history lessons because they do not want to cause offence to children from certain races or religions, a report claims"

If you'd like to know how much could be eliminated from British schools and British life - in order to not offend muslims - please read THIS

The dumbing down of primary schools is trickling up to higher levels:

A level exams let students read travel brochures & train timetableinstead of novels

Shakespeare now being taught to British teens throught the use of cartoons and jokes.

Universities increasingly need refresher to offer classes on basic math, stats, and teaching people to write essays

A level English students now reading Harry Potter books

British employers also get to "benefit" from NuLabour-ised education:

"The Confederation of British Industry published some damning findings about school-leavers' poor skills that support Ms Owen's concerns. Companies surveyed by the CBI grumbled that many youngsters were unable to do the simplest mental arithmetic or to write English without spelling mistakes and grammatical blunders. One in three employers said standards were so low they had to provide staff with remedial training in English and maths.

Despite clear facts that such dumbing down of the British educational system is having a deleterious effect on British youth -

"Teachers’ unions welcomed  reform of the curriculum but complained about the failure to tackle the pressure put on them and children by Sats tests, which Sir Jim was ordered by ministers not to review."

Not to review for now -the future outcome of teacher complaints will eventually be even easier Sats tests likely geared toward essays on "What makes me happy" --make that oral not written essays - written requires grammar, punctuation and writing skills.

When it comes to education in Great Britain - clearly it is a race to the bottom.

GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY TO GO IN SCHOOL SHAKE UP

British School bumps Christmas into the New Year in order to Celebrate Muslim Eid

There is no doubt that the creeping infrastructure supporting the Islamization of Great Britain is stealthing being put in place. Clearly this is being greatly facilitated by the EU - elites.  Just this week it was announced that 5,000 muslim halal butchers would be imported into the UK - leaving many to believe that before long all meat served - aside from pork- will have been halal slaughtered. Judging from a recent lawsuit - it may not be long before pork is greatly reduced or eliminated from the British diet. All of this is being done without the British people ever being given a vote or say regarding the government abetted Islamic destruction of their historical and culturally rich country.

One by one the British holidays and   parades are being stopped to make way for Islamic holy days and related events. Regardless of England being the birthplace of the Church of England - non muslims are imposed upon by muslim rules - yes the British are expected to behave as muslims - including and especially children.  Dhimmified Christian Church leaders have failed the British people.

Now comes the news that a British school cancelled its annual Christmas performances in order to make way for the celebration of the muslim Eid. Upset parents caused the school to reconsider and to offer up the ludicrous solution that the performances will occur - AFTER Christmas - in the new year. Christians can wait but clearly muslims are the priority and can not wait. Isn't this like celebrating Good Friday on Monday? 

One can easily predict that within one or two years, this school (and likely many others), will only celebrate Eid and Christmas performances will be a "thing of the past". So called "inclusiveness" seems to repeatedly favor muslims. So much for muslim assimilation.

School cancels nativity to make way for Eid

A SCHOOL cancelled its Christmas performances to make way for Eid.

A letter was sent to parents of children at Greenwood Junior School, Sneinton, on Monday.

But following complaints from parents, a second letter was sent apologising and explaining that the performances would be staged in the new year.

The school has not said what the performance involved but parents described it as a nativity play.

Eid ul-Adha, or the Festival of Sacrifice, is a religious festival celebrated by Muslims.

Janette Lynch and her son

Former Greenwood Junior pupil and St Ann's mum Janette Lynch, whose seven-year-old son Keanu attends the school, said: "The head has a whole year to plan for Eid and so she should be able to plan for both religious festivals.

"I have never heard of this at a school. It is the first year my son has been there and a lot of the mums like me were really looking forward to seeing the children in the nativity. I think it's wrong it has been moved to after Christmas."

The first letter, sent from 'The staff at Greenwood Junior School', said: "It is with much regret that we have had to cancel this year's Christmas performances. This is due to the Eid celebrations that take place next week and its effect on our performers."

The follow-up letter, sent by head teacher Amber Latif and Yvonne Wright, chair of governors, said: "I would like to apologise for any misunderstanding that was caused from the letter that went out last night.

"We are a very inclusive school and fully respect the cultures and religions of all the children.

"We are upset to know that some of our parents/carers have been offended by the letter.

"The Christmas performance has not been cancelled outright but has been postponed until the New Year."

Parents and carers were originally told the performance was cancelled because children wanted to celebrate Eid with their families at home, and planning of the school year made it "difficult to move performance dates to another week".

The school has also sent out a timetable of events to mark Eid ul-Adha, or 'greater Eid', which is the second of the two Eid festivals. It lasts for two or three days and starts on Monday or Tuesday next week.

Muslim children will be off school for the religious holiday.

Sajad Hussain, 35, of Sneinton, who has two children at Greenwood Junior, said: "My children will be off for the two days next week to see their family.

"It's not that complicated; they could have one event on one day and another on another day, they should have both celebrations at the school.

"If you do not have both it becomes a racist thing and that's why you have to be careful – if an issue is made out of it it could become nasty."

The school has an above average percentage of ethnic minority pupils.

Yesterday, a statement issued by Greenwood Junior, said: "We would like to apologise for any confusion caused as a result of [the original] letter we sent out and would like to reassure parents and the community that Christmas has not been cancelled at Greenwood Junior School.

"As a multi-faith school, like many schools in Nottingham City, we represent a wide variety of faiths and due respect is given to each one appropriately.

"For very practical reasons we have taken the difficult decision to re-arrange some significant events on the school calendar to ensure maximum pupil and staff attendance.

"The next two weeks are brimming with festivities for both Eid and Christmas that the children are really looking forward to."

THE EU ABETTED ISLAMIZATION OF EUROPE ACCELERATES

More evidence as to the increased anti-European actions of the EU-elites and more reasons that this primarily unelected group of treacherous bureaucratic traitors needs to be dissolved. They are setting the stage for the dissolution of Europe, the Islamic subjugation of indigenous Europeans and the emergence of Eurabia.

European children are set to be brainwashed into Islam through new "revised" textbooks (particularly history texts) some of this has already begun- we have already seen their school classrooms opened up for muslim clerics to spew forth their propagandized teachings of Islam or for teachers being forced to dress up as muslims.

All this without a vote by the people of Europe. Disgusting and untenable.

The betrayal clock is ticking and midnight for Europe fast approaches.

The Council of Europe Fights "Islamophobia"

From the desk of Fjordman on Thu, 2008-08-14 08:48

I recently wrote an essay regarding how the Council of Europe, in close cooperation with the European Union, the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the Arab League and other Islamic organizations, are working to combat "Islamophobia" in Europe by all means necessary. Now the French blog Galliawatch takes a look at the CoE as well. This should be considered required reading for all those numerous people who still stubbornly dismiss Eurabia as a "conspiracy theory." The CoE and the EU are implementing policies aimed to rewrite school textbooks throughout the European continent in order to provide a positive and non-threatening view of Islam. They are thus indoctrinating our children to accept Islam.

They are doing this behind our backs, without consulting us, and they can do so because the EU is constructed as a top-down organization where all crucial decisions are taken behind closed doors and imposed on the general public by an unelected oligarchy, who may or may not be bought and paid for by our enemies. Yes, this is a massive betrayal, but we should remember that it is a betrayal that they can commit because we gave them the tools to do so, or at least didn't object strongly enough when they took these tools, maybe because we didn't understand the full significance of them. The only way to stop this and prevent similar betrayals from occurring in the future is to take away these tools from the hostile Eurabian oligarchy, which requires dissolving both the EU and the CoE.

Resolution 1605 of the Council of Europe

Council of Europe member states should continue to be vigilant in their work to prevent and combat the phenomenon of Islamophobia.

9. In light of the above, the Assembly calls on the member states of the Council of Europe to:

9.1. act strongly against discrimination in all areas;

9.2. condemn and combat Islamophobia;

9.7.6. encouraging the participation of people with an immigrant background in political parties, trade unions and non-governmental organisations;

9.7.7. taking all the necessary measures to eliminate the inequality of opportunity faced by immigrants, including unemployment and inadequate education;

9.7.8. removing unnecessary legal or administrative obstacles to the construction of a sufficient number of appropriate places of worship for the practice of Islam;

9.7.9. ensuring that school textbooks do not portray Islam as a hostile or threatening religion;

11.6. encourage young European Muslims to become imams;

11.8. encourage the promotion of fair coverage of Muslim reality and views in the media and ensure that the voice of moderate Muslims is also reported;

11.9. develop ethical guidelines to combat Islamophobia in the media and in favour of cultural tolerance and understanding, in co-operation with appropriate media organisations;
