The Funny Side of Religion

^^

In his maiden speech, he declared himself to be a Jedi in the debate over “Racial and Religious Hatred Bill” under consideration in Parliament. His comment was intended to be taken ironically and raise the issue of how the Bill would define what was and wasn’t a religion

This guy is awesome! Apparently he's a Methodist but he actually keeps it to himself and is hyper-aware of not giving religions too much special favour in politics.

Posted once before but worth another go

No-one ****s with the Jesus.

World Hijab Day founder Nazma Khan:

"Growing up in the Bronx, in NYC, I experienced a great deal of discrimination due to my hijab," says organiser Khan, who moved to New York from Bangladesh aged 11. She was the only "hijabi" (a word for someone who wears the headscarf) in her school.

I figured the only way to end discrimination if we ask our fellow sisters to experience hijab themselves”


"In middle school I was 'Batman' or 'ninja,'" she says.

Kids can be so cruel, yet hilarious.


I laughed way too much at this.

This was the moment I spilled my lucozade.

Apparently, there's a woman underneath this.



Why wouldn't she love wearing this costume. :rolleyes:

I was thinking of starting a Worldwide Slave-For-A-Day. I can be someone's slave for a whole day and they can beat and rape me, while making me work for 24hours straight. Because, you know, there's millions of slaves worldwide who choose their lifestyle.

It's no more ridiculous than 'World Hijab Day', a shameless attempt to normalise the oppression of women. Forcing women to hide their hair, depriving them of the chance to style, cut, colour their hair is cruel, disgusting and immature.

Looks like white-wash denim. She is rocking it.

Sounds like a certain terribly-written chick-lit book. :pac:
