Tolerance, UK Muslim style

Gert Wilders, a Dutch politician, had been banned from the UK. The government feared that his outspoken opposition to Sharia could lead to violence. I suppose they were worried that the Anglicans would mix it up with the Presbyterians, or something.

The ban was reversed in court. Wilders went to the UK yesterday. The Daily Mail headlines their story Far-right Dutch MP Geert Wilders faces Muslim protest after arriving in the UK (Does the Daily Mail EVER refer to anyone as a far-left politician?)


Here's some of the signs that "greeted" Mr. Wilders:





Freedom go to hell... Nice.

Quotes from two "protestors":

Protester Abu Mousa said: 'What he says deserves the death sentence under Islam.'

Sayful Islam, said he wanted to see Mr Wilders 'tried in an Islamic court' for 'insulting the Prophet'.

He added: 'We need to put this dog on a leash.'

So, Freedom is bad, sharia is good. Has it occurred to these troglodytes to move OUT of the (more or less) Christian country of Great Britain?

Celtic Heritage

 

I attended a Celtic festival in Hartford, CT called Pipes in the Valley. To me, nothing say "Celt" more than a butt load of knives, swords, axes and balls and chain.

Android 1.6, aka "Donut"

Official Google video of features in Android 1.6, which should be released "real soon now", as they say in the tech biz. This release is named "Donut", a follow-up to "Cupcake". I think they are in a competition with Ubuntu for silly project names.
