Cleopatra Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hey did you here the one about Mohammed? Muhammad. No and your not likely to either. Not unless you wish to spark a riot in Warrington. There are thousands of muslims in Warrington and surrounding areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 What's up with you lot lately, didn't you get enough religious hassle with the last outburst you had, for goodness sake we will never have peace on this planet while people rant on about offending each others religious beliefs!.

Evil Sid Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Honestly some people should not be let out without adult supervision. If you read the content of the two jokes and I mean really read them, you will find that they are not poking fun at any god/deity/other religious entity, but at the belief of the human being or lack thereof in the case of the second one. No specific god was mentioned in the second one but it has been assumed that it was a gibe at the christian religion. it could equally apply to any of the religions past present or future Humour, not unlike religion, is something that is personal to each individual and what one may find hilarious another would find offensive and yet another would be unmoved either way. i was talking to a chap the other day who recognized me from my posts on the forum and asked if he was a regular contributor. his reply was that he did not post as it seemed to be an elite few who spent most of their time sniping at each other. reading the few threads that have been running recently I can see where he would get that idea, which is a pity really as we should be trying to encourage more people to contribute instead of driving them away with endless undermining and snide remarks aimed at inciting anger. It was not too long ago that Gary commented that there were a lot of people who had signed up to the forum but that there only seemed to be a few who posted more than once. so play nice people and who knows the forum may just get a few more posters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Good intelligent post Sid, I read Harry's last post and I may be wrong but I think that is why he has not been posting lately, this place should be for light hearted banter not bitter sniping, if it continues you will be seeing less of me!.

Cleopatra Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Actually, I thought Dizzies jokes were hilarious but made zero comment about them, adverse or otherwise, but a certain Lt Kije could not resist getting one in about muslims.

Cleopatra Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 more like this then Yes more like that. smoking this brand And yes Cleopatra - well I mean - the name! But my packet is'nt like that one. That must be an old picture. Where the arabic writing is on that, mine has CLEOPATRA in red and black and immediately under that Super Star. Where that has Cleopatra in english mine has the health warning picture so common on cigarette packets now. The head of Cleopatra is centre top on mine. Can I just say....? Here I can buy a 200 pack of cigarettes for less than the cost of one 20 packet in the uk. Think of all the tax the government is raking in from cigarette sales.

Cleopatra Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Oh dear Algy! I think I'm sitting in a puddle! You were the man at the end of the video, with the two big black balls? I think I need cup of shay we laban now to settle me down again. Erm... I think this thread went a bit off topic, eh what?

algy Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 [ I think I need cup of shay we laban now to settle me down again. Erm... I think this thread went a bit off topic, eh what? Yes Florence but it's gone off the right way in my opinion. :grin: PS. What is shay we laban? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 [ What is shay we laban? Just tea with milk. Here everyone drinks tea, with a lot of sugar and no milk, from small glasses. But I don't like tea with sugar in it and no milk so wherever I went I asked for shay we laban la suker (tea with milk and no sugar). I think they thought at first that I was ahbal (crazy) but they got used to it. One or two people started to drink tea with milk in it and found they liked it. Also introduced a few relatives to cappuccino and they love it. When I visit, they don't ask, they just emerge from the kitchen with a tray of cappuccinos. They often remind me that they had never drunk it before I first introduced them to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 So I am now free to poke fun at Muslims now Cleo? Why? Because of the last two jokes? How is your brain working? They were two jokes by a none muslim. How would that leave you free to poke fun at muslims? Consider this. The name Jesus is not exclusive to the Nazareen in the bible. In the middle east and even Spain (I believe) Jesus is a common name. Many men are named Jesus. The same with Moses. I personally know three people named Moses. So' date=' was I refering to the biblical Jesus and Moses or a modern day Jesus and Moses. I have no doubt you will say definately the biblical ones because you cannot reaon beyond the end of your nose. Ahh well said the sole.... [/quote'] If that was true Cleo if you exchanged names ie Fred for Jesus and Arthur for Moses , the joke would still work. It does not, as I said I did not take offence at the joke, just you posting it, as you complained about the Muslim joke, unless you are asking for preferential treatment, you complain about Muslim jokes but you are quite happy to post one ones that involve the Christian religion.

Lt Kije Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I am not asking for you bite , I just think it is wrong, when you get upset about Muslim jokes, to then post jokes based on Christians that is all. And in hindsight I think you agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Still not biting! Oh go on then, just a little nibble. Your assumption it's a joke based on christians. Already told you that the names are common names even today in the middle east, but, if you wish to continue to believe erroniously that there was ever only one man named Jesus and only one man named Moses - entirely upto you. You go on living in your ignorance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleopatra Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Amin it's my final word to him on the subject. Quite honestly, I feel he was a spoilt brat as a kid and has matured beleiving he is right in everything he says and must have the last word. Well if he wants the last word he could always go and sit in a corner and argue with himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 And I already told you if you swap the name Jesus for another ie Fred, your joke does not work, if what you say was true it would, think about it :lol: if I am a brat, what does that make you, someone who demands respect for their religion , whilst making jokes on other people's , it didn't think you would have to resort to insults, guess I will turn the other cheek On a slightly different note The Grand Imam of Egypt’s Al Azhar is calling for “a U.N. resolution outlawing ‘insulting symbols and sanctities of Islam’ and other religions.
