The followers of this so-called religion are as crazy as it's deluded moon worshipping creator!

'I hate the Queen, I hate this country'

Then get the Eff out of it!

[Red Badger]

What a moron! Haven't they ever heard of cooking it first?!?!?.......besides, the fast is only during daylight hours.............

Swan is supposed to taste pretty good. One of the reasons the Trumpeter Swan almost became extinct in the US. They are beginning to come back now.

...what he believed to be the head of a swan falling out of the bag. He called the police."

The court heard head experts did not believe the injury to the swan was consistent with a knife attack.

And we are lettting these barbarians live among us exactly because?

"I am a Muslim, I am fasting, I needed to eat."

I think he misunderstands the concept of fasting. Are swans even "hallal"?

Oh well, he'll be safe in jail, but when he gets out it will be a race between the muslims and the animal-rights nuts to see who gets to kill him.

But I guess he's still lucky he picked the right century to pull this little trick. Poaching game owned by the crown used to be a hanging offense.

When he was challenged by police he told them: "I am a Muslim, I am fasting, I needed to eat."

Um...normally fasting means you don't eat, not that you go all Ozzy and start biting into live animals.

I can't imagine north Wales in the one place in the western world where there isn't a fast food place, deli, or pub that he couldn't get a quick bite if he was THAT hungry.

He couldn't wait to cook it?

When he was challenged by police he told them: "I am a Muslim, I am fasting, I needed to eat."

The court heard Miah, from Llandudno, had white feathers stuck in his beard and blood on his shirt.

Jim Neary, prosecuting, said: "When interviewed he said, "I was hungry, I had to eat the swan so I killed it, I stabbed it. I did nothing wrong, it was just a bird, I needed to eat."

"The officers told him the swan was the property of the Queen and he replied, 'I hate the Queen, I hate this country'."

This is a new Monty Python skit right?

Are swans even "hallal"?

No but live turkeys thrown out of a helicopter are...

[rottndog]

They are beginning to come back now.

Great, when can we start eating them again?

[Kenton]

Are swans even "hallal"? No but live turkeys thrown out of a helicopter are...

LOL... "As God is my witness, I swear I thought they could fly!"

[Mrs Ivan]

I have also heard that, but this crazy appears to have taken a chomp from a live one!

[ZULU]

RIGHT.

[Polybius]

Are swans even "hallal"? ................ No but live turkeys thrown out of a helicopter are...

"It's a helicopter, and it's coming this way. It's flying something behind it, I can't quite make it out, it's a large banner and it says, uh - Happy... Thaaaaanksss... giving! ... From ... W ... K ... R... P!! No parachutes yet. Can't be skydivers... I can't tell just yet what they are, but - Oh my God, Johnny, they're turkeys!! Johnny, can you get this? Oh, they're plunging to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Not since the Hindenberg tragedy has there been anything like this........"

[Mrs Ivan]

I am as baffled as you are!

[OB1kNOb]

Well, I'll swan!

[Twinkie]

"it was just a bird, I needed to eat". The most wisdom I've heard from the whole lot of them put together.
