    The fact that the "smart" one uses "Their their" for "They're there", both not realising that different homophones are required and using the "other" one is what makes that one for me.

    To be fair, shouldn't be there a big ban button in front of the priest?
    Seems only fair given their involvement banning "offensive" content in Ireland, Italy and other countries

    All four of them (dunno about the guy in the middle, he must be the lone skeptic) are priest class - Jewish rabbi, Buddhist monk, Catholic cardinal and Islamic imam.

    I'll point out for the record that Choudray is not a preacher in any official sense. He has no formal Islamic religious training whatsoever, afaik.

    He preaches hate, so he's a hate preacher, which is exactly as he was described :)

    The very notion of an 'official' preacher is quite laughable when you think about it. Who has that authority and where did they get it from?

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    He preaches and he is listened to. That makes him a preacher.

    They granted it unto themselves, which is all the funnier when they're the ones going on all the time about absolute moral rules and criticizing everybody else for making it up as they go along.

    You're confusing cleric with preacher.

    It's strange how this choudary asshat can preach hate without consequences but if others said equally vile things - they'd get locked up or punished in some way. It smacks of a double standard.

    The hateful cretin has not heard of others right to free speech? Pah!

    Twelve amused and four left laughing in satirical attack on IS headquarters
    News Biscuit wrote:
    Twelve members of Islamic State have been left seriously amused after a ruthless gang of satirists forced their way into its headquarters and proceeded to ridicule up the place. Sarcasm, parody and irony are all said to have been used in what many are seeing as a broader attack on everyone’s freedom to stone homosexuals or cut babies in half.

    IS employee, Mohammed Adir, was quietly working on ways to interpret ancient religious texts so as to justify beheading schoolgirls when the siege took place. ‘One of them had a sketchpad,’ he said, ‘but that’s about all I can remember. I think he was the leader. The rest of them just sat there riffing gags back and forth and taking central tenets of our religious philosophy to their naturally absurd logical conclusions. They must have been planning it for months,’ he added.

    Abu Mustafa, an IS freelancer who was busy cutting the still-screaming head off an aid worker in Northern Africa when he heard of the attack, considers himself lucky. ‘What’s the world coming to when you can’t go about trying to establish a worldwide caliphate of unchallenged barbaric totalitarianism in peace? I’m just thankful that most of those in the building at the time didn’t possess the requisite critical thinking skills to have been affected. Otherwise, who knows how many might have ‘got it’.’

    Sadly, not everyone was so fortunate; the worst affected being the twelve who were subjected to over forty minutes of humorous, rational observations encouraging healthy skepticism and freedom of thought. Unfortunately, for IS and all its supporters, their condition is now said to be ‘critical’.
