‘Muslims burned the flag of St George and called for the Queen to ‘Go to Hell’ in a furious rally held in London over Salman Rushdie’s knighthood.
Angry Muslim extremists rallying at Regents Park Mosque said that anger over the award could match the fierce reaction to publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in Denmark in 2006.
Organisers of a protest outside the mosque claimed several hundred demonstrators were denouncing the decision to reward Rushdie, whose novel “The Satanic Verses” led to a death threat from Iran in 1989.’
how do you think the world would view white people if we did this? we would never stop hearing about it unlike 1000 things that these people do
Brilliant. You have picked one particular news story and capitalised on it in an extremely subjective and entirely misguided way. I can dig up numerous stories of the opposite scenarios – however the point is that it is all horrible and completely immoral, and that it is not a “race” that is doing these things but certain individuals, regardless of colour or nationality. That goes for numerous incidents, whether race related or not.
The word “paki” is extremely offensive as it is a derogatory word with nasty connotations generally used to describe anyone from the Middle East, be they Pakistani, Indian, Iranian or whatever. It is in no circumstance a word that can be legitimately used to describe someone of Pakistani origin, nor should it be.
I think you need to look at things in a more unbalanced, non-subjective manner and see the overall picture, rather than jumping to Daily Mail/Sun style conclusions over individual incidents.
