That's nice.

When can we expect a press release from all these radical Imams who "regret" their anti-American, anti-Christian and overall anti-Western Civilization statements?

Oh...right...never.

In it, he branded Arabs "suicide bombers, limb amputators, women repressors" and asked what they had given to the world other than oil.

So what is answer?

[FormerLib]

Well, if he makes enough anti-American comments, I'm sure they'd hire him back.

Dammit Kilroy - stick to your guns.

You actually offered evidence that there may yet be hope for Europe.

"and asked what they had given to the world other than oil....

So where is the answer? They fired him because they don't have another answer. That's all they have given - for the last couple of hundred years.

He said he greatly regretted the offence caused by the Sunday Express article, which was written in April but "republished last weekend in error". In it, he branded Arabs "suicide bombers, limb amputators, women repressors" and asked what they had given to the world other than oil.

So?

The "given the world oil" isn't even true.

They didn't find it.

They had no use for it once it was found

They did not discover, invent, or even fabricate the means of extraction, refinement, transportation, or storage of it.

They have not invented ONE SINGLE THING which can use or profit from the end product.

And they manufacture nothing that has any relevance to the discovery or exploitation of this natural resource.

Nixon was an idiot to let them take it, and Bush is an idiot to keep up the "it belongs to them" rubbish.

Orwell was right. The fine art of political correctness here. The phony outrage is all orchestrated. Attack, attack, and attack. It works. These groups know how to work the rotten system to a nicety. Nice to have a Free Republic though, here in North America, especially for an Englishman. Damn them, damn their eyes- as Captain Bligh of the Bounty would say.

Sounds like he knows the radical Arabs pretty well...

[Zeppo]

He said Arabs "murdered more than 3,000 civilians on 11 September" and then "danced in the streets" to celebrate.

The MCB secretary general Iqbal Sacranie wrote in a letter to BBC One controller Lorraine Heggessey that Mr Kilroy-Silk had failed to distinguish between the terrorists behind the 11 September attacks and 200 million "ordinary Arab peoples".

MCB secretary general Iqbal Sacranie needs to go back and re-read what Mr. Kilroy-Silk actually wrote. Especially the part about those who "danced in the streets". Clearly it wasn't the terrorists who were dancing in the streets, instead it was the "ordinary Arab peoples" who were doing the dancing.

I think they just changed his name for him -- to Salman Rushdie.

Immigrating Islam is the West's way of committing suicide. Britain appears to be past the tipping point, with Muslims now calling the shots there.

In the USofA, we're currently importing about 100,000 adherents of the Religion of Peace legally annually. If, G-d forbid, Bush's open-border scheme gets off the ground - it's anyone's guess what the rate will be.
