Siglos de sabiduria se esconden tras ellos. Ridiculizar a religiosos puede ser, pero no subestimen los escritos. Se van a llevar muchas sopresas en breve. Cuanto más ataquen mas ridiculos quedarán.

A large number of islamic big shots from Java came over for the event which was played up heavily. After the ceremony the headman declared that he was so delighted to have finally become a true muslim that they were throwing a big traditional party. Pig roast, yay.

Now we're all haram.

It's very expensive to raise pigs in the desert due to maintenance. So easier to ban it than try to explain economic theory. As for being unclean, I can get that too in ye olde times. Also remember that pigs and dogs eat their own poop. As for Atheists ranking religions, I do it mostly by judging their overall behavior, tendency to follow their morality, how their god follows that morality, silly things they do for their god, and how much they want to interfere in the lives of everyone else. Ironically Satanism ranks higher than christianity because devil-worship is more honest and less likely to try to change secular law to favor just them. @Nina

Welcome back BTW. I've really missed you. Maybe the difference between bigotry against Islam and knowledge of it is that one of them is an informed position! author: is this about a particular story in the Telegraph? Welcome back BTW.
