Spanish Moor-killing saint is given the chop (Might offend muslims)

You're absolutely right, unfortunately, the Spanish authorities (and alot of the people) seem to think that by bending over and kissing their a##, they can be buddies with the f*king savages.

Is everyone in Europe scared sh*tless of these animals?

I managed to find this conversation thread:

Piglet gets the Muslim boot

[Gone_Postal]

Don't laugh.

Coming soon to a city near you.

It has already started -- allowing the Islamifying with the daily Islam prayer call.

"Next month, Hamtramck [MI] will become one of the few cities in the United States where the Islamic call to prayer is broadcast onto public streets. The impact of that decision is reverberating across the nation."

And were are the hypocrites call of church and state

[nuconvert]

In Norway??

That's nuts. No one cares about about a storybook character.

I hope these people carry a large supply of spray can vaseline

From the link you posted: "Next month, Hamtramck will become one of the few cities in the United States where the Islamic call to prayer is broadcast onto public streets."

So there are other U.S. cities where this Moose-call is broadcast? It would be interesting to find out which 'other' cities those are.

"...the...sculpture was related to a historic epoch and very particular circumstances,” said cathedral sources."

And we are in a similar historic epoch and similar circumstances.

Could someone park a car across the street from the mosque and play Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" at the same decimal level, at the same time the prayer is played?

[BenLurkin]

This character?

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

Piglet from Winnie the Pooh. It's a pig. Mulims fear pigs.

[jocon307]

"In Norway a picture of a cartoon pig from Winnie the Poh (sp?) was just removed from a childrens ward in one of our hospitals."

Piglet? You all let the stinking Muslims cause the removal of Piglet? How many Jews have known Piglet, without complaining.

Here's my word for the "moderate" muslims: NO!

Come on! How much of this are we going to take?

[CGVet58]

Being one "...en cuyas venas corren las memorias del Conquistador", and of admittedly hot-tempered disposition, I am amazed that the Spanish who reconquered the peninsula, whose "tercios" were once feared even by the Swiss Pikemen, and who conquered the new world, have stooped to this level of chicken-shit cowardice.

[jocon307]

"Could someone park a car across the street from the mosque and play Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" at the same decimal level, at the same time the prayer is played?"

Hey, I guess they COULD. Or how about, "immigrant song"?

If it wasn't for a bunch of Christian soldiers cutting off the heads of Muslims a while back, there wouldn't be a Spain. It would be another Sudan.

[Tacis]

Well, yes, they'll remove this statue but the center of the cathedral is still the large, gold statue up above the altar said to contain a relic of St. James. There is a walkway up above the gold statue where visitors can walk and actually put their arms around the relic of St. James from behind. This seems unchanged.

This cathedral is also the end station of a major European pilgramge. It is also noted for the Botofogo, a giant incense burner that hangs from the high ceiling and, on special events, is lighted and swung by a group of men.

A single statue in a side chapel might come down but the history/legend of the cathedral and Santiago de Compestello won't change.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

You are close. At the present rate the West will be the only civilization in history to fall through the medium of words.

[BlessedBeGod]

The Spaniards really have drunk the Kool-aid.

How about the Israeli national anthem? That should put a stop to this nonsense in a couple weeks....tops.

[nuconvert]

They don't 'fear' pigs.

People are allowing the radical fundamentalists to make ridiculous rules. The average muslim doesn't care about a cartoon character.
