Santa banned for fear of offending Muslims

'Fear' is the operative word hear. If Muslims get offended, Christians die by the hundreds...JFK

If Christians rioted in Australia the way the Muslims did in Nigeria, I can guarantee you no one would ever have the gumption to ban Santa.

This sort of thing is to be expected all around the world (first, second and third). The oil money being directed to the cause of Mecca is having its initial impacts already. What happens when the local political party machine starts getting big donations from the local muslims? Is it any worse than donations from Scientology or other negative outfits.

Sidebar-- it just occurred to me that Islam has endless money to spend... and Scientology has a veracious appetite for selling!!! A perfect match. Made for each other! I wonder if the Xenu boys have realised this...

will substitute a clown for Saint Nick to avoid offending minority groups.

The clown is the person who thought this up and imposed it.

How much longer can people be expected to put up with this without properly erupting into a bloody revolution?

"Butts-up for Allah" seems to be replacing "Waltzing Matilda".

Your post was exactly what screamed in my brain!!! Not one of us should allow this crap. Not anywhere in the world! Next thing you know, children won't be allowed to wear crucifixes or the star of Israel! What next, manditory veil rag wearing, to make the muslims completely FRIGGEN COMFORTABLE OR ELSE?????

That, my friend, was a great post!

I dont quite get that post. Perhaps you could let me in on the significance?...JFK

The best Talk Radio station (www.2ue.com.au) has a celebrity called John Laws. His anti-multicultural motto/jingle/tag is: "AUSTRALIA; love it or leave it!" I would suggest it would also work in the US too. The subtext is "Australians don't change to suit you newbies; you newbies change to suit Australia. After all, why did you come here if wasn't to get away from some less desirable or downright basketcase culture crawling with fleas, camels and goats?"

fear being the operative word... I understand why they banned Santa, being afraid of reprisals, but I don't agree with it! PMS is a b*tch! (Mine)

We really cannot have any faith out west anymore.

Exactly correct. America alone spends $280 billion a year on oil and 1/6 goes to the Saudis.

We need to get ourselves off of Oil pronto. We need a crsh program for implement alternative fuels (nuclear, clean coal, biomass, wind, solar) asap. You hear that George and Dick! We like what you're doing, just lose your friends in the oil business. Stop licking the Skieks' sandals, its embarassing.

Muslims are flying planes into skyscrapers, suicide bombing Israelites into kingdom come, blowing up nightclubs, hotels and embassies, hijacking airplanes, ramming boats into oil tankers and navy ships - and we are encouraged to tap dance around their sensitivities, bury our own culture and elevate theirs. Nonsense!

[John Lenin]

We will just have to Muslimize Santa.

Hows this....

There will be Santa Claus segregation at Batman Park kindergarten, in Northcote.

I'm sure that this park's name refers in some way to cricket, but as a kid I would have loved to go to a Kindergarten with "Batman" in the name, no matter what it meant. Frankly, I am surprised that this place isn't trying to capitalize on the name by having Adam West show up in full costume instead of a Santa Claus.

Better yet, how about both?
