Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools
dteichman2 writes "It appears that some UK schools are ignoring the Holocaust. A government-backed study, funded by the Department for Education and Skills, found that some teachers are reluctant to teach history lessons on the Holocaust for fear of offending Muslim students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial. Additionally, similar problems are being encountered with lessons on the Crusades because these lessons contradict teachings from local mosques."
The holocaust never happened!
Yeah who the fuck cares what some stupid Muslim idiot teaches in a Mosque!? If anything we should want to offend those bastards.
Really, is it so much to ask that the world stop putting up with this crap? Liberals in the United States cheered Ahmedinejad (sp?) when he held his little rah-rah last year to "study" whether the Holocaust occurred. "Let's celebrate the diversity of opinions." "Ooh, we shouldn't criticize the Muslims or they might get mad at us." And now it's, "Let's just pretend that their wrongly held little beliefs are sacrosanct and ignore the TRUTH." Come on people, wake up. If you tolerate this sort of politically correct hogwash, it will be repeated until it becomes truth.
Windows is going the way of phlogiston...
What would it be like, if you wrote about a distant Distopia, as he did in his "1984"
only to find out that it is happening already, just a generation after he wrote it?
I am glad George Orwell is not here to see this saddest chapter in the history of
a (formerly) great nation.
Rewriting history has to be one of the most sinful of crimes in this world. That,
and the attitude of capitulation which drives it. Islam has to be the new Fascism
in the world today, and will prove to be just as deadly as the one of the last
century.
Much like the Christian majority defending against the "attack on Christianity" here in the States.
Say what? Some 360 million civilians were butchered in wars and various genocides in the last century, yet the only ones we're supposed to care about are "6 million jews".
I'm also don't feel that I'm obliged to be sympathetic towards a group that insists on refering to me as a "goy".
You're using her as bait, Master!
It's the Daily Mail. Do not believe a fucking WORD of it.
That's a bunch of complete flamebait (and should be modded down by anyone with mod points). I haven't observed the Daily Mail, as I'm not from the UK, and thus I can't comment on it. However, I've watched Fox news shows regularly as well as their talk shows, and I've read books by many of their talk show hosts (Bill O'Reilly, Shawn Hannity, etc.). In no way is Fox a racist rag. That is a myth perpetuated by people (traditionally left wing flamers and mudslingers) who continually bash Fox without ever having watched it. Bill O'Reilly often has gay and lesbian men and women on his show, and he is extremely fair and often takes their side if they are facing discrimination. He often has the Reverend Al Sharpton and other black leaders on his show, and they quite often have some very constructive dialogs (even agreeing on some issues). In addition, these talk shows almost NEVER present just one point of view. They are very good at bringing in people from both sides of the political aisle and letting them discuss and comment on the issues. Sometimes the dems win, and sometimes the republicans. It just depends on the issue, but at least you get BOTH sides of the story during their talk shows.
When it comes to the news, they cover a broad variety of issues, and they are very good about having their reporters stay as neutral as possible and not make opinionated comments. They don't just take the president's line, either. They cover things that are damaging or scandelous to the administration. And some of their opinion shows will hammer administration actions that are scandalous. The fact is, rather than being a "racist rag", they are actually a good journalistic organization, and in my opinion they do a better job than most other news networks. Did anyone watch CNN's coverage of the 2004 presidential election? As Kerry was losing, Wolf Blitzer got combative and emotional, and at one point looked like he was going to cry. Then on another network you have the big Dan Rather scandal where he reported all those damaging (and as we found out, fake) documents about Bush's guard record. The fact is, an honest observer has to admit that Fox has had a much better record lately of avoiding scandals and emotionalism in their broadcasts. And you'd have to really, really be a dishonest flamer to try to claim that they are a "racist rag."
Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
Yet for some reason only one party has used nuclear bombs as weapons od war.

Maybe the stupid fucking Jews and the Stupid fucking Arabs should just realize that Hitler had plans to burn them all. Maybe then we can come together on something?
Stupid fucking Jews and Arabs. Let them kill each other. I dont care anymore. I'm serious. Blood is the only way to solve these issues.
