Sometimes I join groups like that to take the piss.

Are you Ming D Merciless?

That FB thread plays out exactly how Private Eye satirises a comments thread. I don't know if I should laugh or cry at just accurate it is...

Do Private Eye ever satirise this kind of thread? Where someone posts about the "thick chav racists", have a group hug to celebrate not being racist and take the piss out of the chavs while being spectacularly blind to the irony?

A bit, yes. But they're at their funniest when they take the piss out of forum posters who don't understand the word 'irony'.

I just had a look at the Islam4UK website......

Bless, you been the victim of that a lot?

I know what irony is, you simply fail to see it. I wonder why that might be.

Is that a moving iron meter or a moving coil one btw ?

Private Eye's "From The Message Boards" reads like a typical followup comment to a news story that derails quickly into facetube-style grammar.

The FB "wall" reminded me of their spoof board following the Nick Clegg BBC appearance. Unfortunately it ain't available online.

I've never understood why having a prejudice against a certain religion is tagged with the term "racism" anyways.

I don't understand why disagreeing with a religion, or indeed hating it is considered a prejudice. I dislike Islam intently, doesn't mean I dislike all Muslim people, just the religion. Mind you I feel the same way about all organised religion be it Christianity, Buddhism or Hinduism. I really really don't understand how criticizing someones philosophy can be considered a "crime", skin colour & ethnicity yes, but religious belief, no, it's not something that you are inherently born with.

I think the Muslim faith would install respect into the west's increasingly trashy culture

Respect eh? Not repulsive, sexist, racist, oppressive, anti-intellectual nonsense then?

Perhaps just call me a racist then that's over and done with.

No, I won't call you racist but on the basis of that last post, you're a fucking idiot.

Your comments are exactly what the chavs are posting (and being bashed for) on facebook only superiorly worded.

I should have worded it 'some' respect, all religions have something to offer, I say that as someone who would prefer to see a world without them and you're the fucking idiot if you think society has improved in the last few decades. So much so, you think I'm below discussion.

... He said he also planned to write to the parents of dead UK soldiers with his version of "the reality of what they died for".

Oil ?

Or was the right to build that oil pipeline across those countries ?

Increase the value of some stock markets share ?

More control on those plantations of those particular strands of weed ?

All of the above ?

".. do you think it's freedom/peace what you are fighting for ?"

Well .. depends .. if you mean "my own economic peace" and
"my freedom to buy" then it all fits in the equation ..

That's exactly it. The protesters could at least try to promote getting away from oil and fighting the corruption that keeps us relying on the stuff.
Getting called racists and fucking idiots is a distraction.

So these people are just pure, upstanding patriots who are misunderstood then? Salt of the earth speaking from limitless folk wisdom? Fuck off. You wouldn't want them anywhere near you yourself if you wern't using them as yet another crutch for your bizarre lefty-bashing fetish.

As to irony, congratulations to the papers for giving this march so much more publicity than it otherwise would have had. The only difference in the hatemongering is the 'slammers dont have several private national newspapers refreshing their divisive message every single morning. Oh, and the religious mentals don't coin it in hand over fist by reheating "hate the foreigns- here's why".

I dislike Islam intently, doesn't mean I dislike all Muslim people, just the religion.

Do you dislike it for the values it proposes, or for the (mis)interpretation of its writings?[1] There was a time when people feared Christianity due to the church interpreting it to further their opulence and social standing before Lizzy Tha First stepped in, in a similar way that Muslims are tarred by the same brush as terrorists.

Just querying, like.

[1] wasn't Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses" about how it was misinterpreted to suit dictatorial needs? I've never read it - just remember at the time a cartoon of an irate fundamentalist screaming "Rushdie should DIE for saying how evil we are!" - nowadays, they'd just firebomb the cartoonist's offices for insinuating that they're all irate terrorists full of hatred. Oh, wait...

Last few posts in the FB thread:

If you are so proud of "r country" you should probably learn to speak/write the English language properly before creating a group like this, you dick.

If you're going to claim that this is 'your' country please use its language properly.

Judging from the info section of this so-called group, I'd bet that even immigrants have a better grasp of the English language than you do. Idiot.

Heh! Wondering when people would mention it...
