My Oppression's Worse Than Yours

Wow, hey, look, I'm documenting religious hypocrisy from someone other than a Catholic.* Problem is, it's a Muslim. Again. Saying awful shit about gay people. Again.

This time it's Bilal Philips, the brain-donor who got kicked out of Germany for being a bigoted fuckhead and endorsing the extermination of gay people. I can see why the Germans might be a bit upset about that, they've seen that shit before. Our walking buttcloud Bilal has been speaking at a conference in Canada, complaining about Islamophobia. In the same city, on the same day, as a gay pride parade that - under his vaunted 'holy laws' - would have been fired on by police. Nice.

“I got expelled from Germany for life, why? Because I said I believe that according to Islamic law, homosexuals should be executed if they are caught in the act. It’s Islamic law. I’m not allowed to believe that? … Just to believe that, you’re a threat to the society?

“So this is how vigilant they are,” he said. “We should be also vigilant with the media. When things are said, we should be responsive, we should be on Google, on Facebook, whatever. We should be responding to these things.”

People are responsive, you prick, but it doesn't get a lot of publicity because they get the ontological shit kicked out of them in every argument they start over the subject. And the reason people are vigilant is because there's some arsehole giving speeches in their country to exhort faithful Muslims to kill gay people. By implying, through bludgeoning with the scripture, that they're not devout Muslims if they let the gays live.

Mr. Murray, who was Winnipeg’s first openly gay mayor, noted he has no problem with the conference itself, and has no plans to try have such speakers barred from attending. But he said he had asked police to monitor the conference, plans to meet with the event’s organizers and may ask if he can speak at it next year.

“We live in a pluralistic society,” he said. “It’s always disturbing when anybody brings in a speaker who tries to suggest that someone’s life is worth so little, that someone can be killed simply for being who they are. That is the polar opposite of what Pride represents and about what we represent.”

Bloody good idea, and nicely handled too. Good to see someone's capable of handling stuff like a reasonable human being.

*That should shut up that one arsehole who emailed me complaining that I was as bad as Longinus for "only ever saying bad things about the Vatican". Cunt.

  1. Well, Mr Murray has the right idea true enough. People spouting this hate-filled religio-babble, ANY religion, should be allowed to get it out of their system and be laughed at.

    1/ If they continue to be dumbasses and spouting hate with religion as their excuse, they'll be barred from more than just Germany.

    2/ I'd like to see his face if he ever actually started thinking clearly.

    3/ This reaction from Mr Murra just proves that the public face of the homosexual community at large have far more caring natures (And more right to live peacefully) than the majority of these moronic screw-heads.

  2. “I got expelled from Germany for life, why? Because I said I believe that according to Islamic law, homosexuals should be executed if they are caught in the act. It’s Islamic law. I’m not allowed to believe that? … Just to believe that, you’re a threat to the society?"

    It always leaves me speechless how anyone can think they are justified in thinking so little of another human life just because they think differently to themselves. And it also baffles me how they cannot see just how terrible this kind of thinking is and why people oppose it. No sane person would or should advocate such a senseless, murderous ideal.

    It's no wonder a lot of people mistrust Muslims when hate-filled imams like him preach this sort of barbarism.
