If the E.U. ordered Islam and Muhammad to henceforth be spelled with a lower case “i” and a lower case “m”, Muslims would riot, people would die, and the U.N. would pass a resolution condemning Islamophobia. Creating grammar rules dictating that Christ, Jew, and Judaism be spelled with lower case letters, however, will be met with silence. Christophobia is totally acceptable in the new age of the Caliphate.
Since Muslims hate Christians and Jews, it’s actually a form of tolerance to avoid offending Islam by showing any respect for other religions. Is it just me, or are things really going down hill fast in this world? At least we can count on Prince Charles to travel the world urging tolerance of Christianity, right? . . . . . . No?
It must be getting a little too close for Christmas for the chi-chi crystal palace of the pretentious European Union. Pooh-bahs in Brussels have come up with a new grammar rule for themselves and the Netherlands–making it official that the name “Christ” will soon be written with a lower-case “c”. That was the stipulation in an orthography reform published earlier this month in Brussels.
According to the Kath.net agency, the new spelling legislation will also stipulate that the Dutch word for “jews” (joden) be spelled with a capital “J” when referring to nationality and with a lower-case “j” when referring to the religion. The changes will be mandatory in August of 2006. There is no description of the fines offenders will face if they keep right on spelling “Christ” with a capital “C”.
The new spelling regulations are coming from the same folk, who include as one of their seat numbers in the august and austere chamber in which they gather to prevaricate on all things politically correct, the number 666.
The European Union hierarchy may have numbered the seat 666, but at last count no one has had the courage to actually claim the seat as their own.
At the European Union, the name of the humble carpenter from Nazareth may be diminished by lower-case spelling, but Javier Solana, The Great will continue to have his name spelled in capital letters. . . . .
I don't see many comments. No surprise... this makes me just about speechless.
Silly. Proper names are proper names. This ruling should have no effect on the King's English.
The EU is the pivot point for the next European civil war. Let it come,
A country without faith cannot last.
Christ is the title. Jesus is the proper name.
Saying that, I think this decision is awful.
I stopped captalizing islam (insanity for stupid people), muhammad(child molesting degenerate) and allah(murderous nightmare of the uninformed) back, ohhh about 9/11/2001
This is so Through-the-Looking Glass that my brain can hardly process it.
"A country without faith cannot last"
is that a paraphrase from thomas acquinus?
“I don't see many comments. No surprise... this makes me just about speechless.”
You are correct.
Now there is going to be spelling censorship and a financial punishment?
Will there be jail for repeat offenders?
What planet am I living on?
Thanks for giving me a good laugh today!
You and me both. And I don't give a rat's how mad the mooslims get over it.
Correct me if I am wrong but Islam reveres Jesus as a prophet -- and when the Last Temptation of Christ was circulating in cinemas Iran banned it and condemned it.
Our enemy is not Islam, it is the atheistic leadership of western Europe. If civil war does someday break out we can only hope the eastern European countries will quickly smash western Europe and assimilate it into a greater Slavic nation.
"I stopped captalizing islam (insanity for stupid people), muhammad(child molesting degenerate) and allah(murderous nightmare of the uninformed) back, ohhh about 9/11/2001"
You should add that, democrats and thier names.
This is nuts!
