The mother of 2 said.... “FU”. OOps this is all about Christmas so there should be no vulgarity. But we can have contempt for Caesar and his minions.

People have to defiantly stand up to this crap or they will run over us.

At least commonsense prevailed in the end.

I think the Poms will put up with only so much of this crap from the muslims before they get really, really angry and sort them out properly.

What the muslims interpret as capitulation and weakness is actually good manners and patience: both of which being virtues with the Poms. But there are limits to both, as the muslims might just find out.

I figured the lights were non-religious anyway.

Some subhuman mohammedan must’ve slithered by and complained about the “infidel lights”

Christmas and Hannukah decorations don’t offend me. Chopping heads off living humans and making videos about it does offend me.

Already been posted and not much of a story anyway. This was one idiot person. The association said this was not its policy and the neighbors said they loved the lights. Lights are still up. End of “story.”

Now if it were me I would put even more lights up.

But that’s just me.

At least the “lights incident” was resolved successfully. The next story below that is perhaps more disturbing:

UK: Salvation Army can’t rattle collection tins — it might “offend other religions”

Could it be that the rattle of the collecting tins is too bell-like? For the prohibition of bells is part of Islamic law for dhimmis: “Such non-Muslim subjects [of the Islamic state] are obliged to comply with Islamic rules that pertain to the safety and indemnity of life, reputation, and property. In addition, they...are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, (A: to ring church bells or display crosses,) recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays...” — ‘Umdat al-Salik o11.5

“After 130 years of fundraising, Sally Army told to stop rattling collecting tins because it might ‘offend other religions,’” by Paul Harris in the Daily Mail, December 15 (thanks to James):

For 130 years they have been part of Christmas, filling the air in towns across the land with music and carols.

But one thing is missing from the repertoire of Salvation Army bands this year - the percussion of rattling tins.

Members have been forbidden to shake their charity tins - even if it’s done in time to the music - in case it harasses or intimidates people. One said she had been told it might also offend other religions.

[...]

‘I jokingly told them off for not shaking their tins,’ said Mr Keywood, 78, a retired telecoms executive. ‘They said they weren’t allowed to do that in case it caused offence to other religions. They said they’d been told rattling a tin was considered to be intimidating.

‘I don’t know who makes up these rules but I suspect it will have something to do with human rights. I do feel Britain has lost its way on things like this.’...

You can say that again.

Consider the fact that Christmas cookies cause cancer. We need to do something about anything Christmas (or is it Xmas?)
