Holocast?

The british government have recently agreed to remove the holocaust from it's curriculum because it upsets the muslim community who say it never happened.

Is this right or wrong?

First I've heard of that. Isnt it against the law to express the view that the Holocaust never happened in the U.K.?

Just got a mail about it from a friend in Isreal. Should have checked AP before posting here I guess but that stuff makes my blood boil.

Does the OP have a source for this? I'd be very surprised if this is the case.

Nope, but it is in a few other European countries.

I cant imagine its true, it would have been all over the news.

Stormfront wont know where to look, is the government really Jew run so?

*waits for a conspiracy theorists "study" that reveals the royal family, the Bush family and 40 previous US presidents are actually descended from the prophet Mohammed*

Those laws against it are ludicrous tbh. How can you control an opinion, even if its wrong? Having said that I once read a list of 70 odd reasons it didnt happen. Its all very generic tbh

By any chance, did this email resemble this one?

Mary Hanafin is pushing to get the Irish famine removed from the curriculum because the Asian community simply don't believe it happened. Dan Li spokesman for the Irish Asian community is quoted as saying 'Why didn't the Paddy's eat rice?'

On a related note, St. James Hospital, Dublin had a Christmas crib every year.
The Muslim nurses objected to this at Christmas 2005 and it was swiftly removed

The Muslim nurses should have been swiftly removed.

Am I paranoid or, when an American "Christmassy" movie is made, Jesus doesn't get a look in. Santa Claus, Christmas trees, presents, but never a Jesus.

Any chance of posting it up if it's a link? 'Tis something I've never read up on, would be interesting to see the arguments.

I can't see any mention of Muslim nurses complaining about that. From a bit of Googling................

"For a few days we had a bit of a fuss over the removal of a crib from the reception area of St James' Hospital in Dublin. It was claimed in some sections of the media that management didn't want to offend non-Christians. I must admit that I was all set to write some comment about political correctness gone mad until I heard hospital management's explanation. Apparently the hospital has never had a crib in the foyer; the tradition has been to place it in the chapel. This year the crib was erected in the foyer but only for the duration of a carol service. Afterwards it was taken to the chapel as usual."

I am offened by muslim women wearing hijabs,is there any chance they will stop wearing them?

CantGetNoSleep · 02-07-2007 12:18am

Well you're not the only one

A magistrate is facing an inquiry after refusing to deal with a defendant wearing a full Muslim veil, the Judiciary of England and Wales has said.

Ian Murray walked out of the case at Manchester magistrates' court on Thursday because Zoobia Hussain, 32, of Crumpsall, was covered by a hijab. Hussain's lawyer, Judith Hawkins, said the young mother is "shocked and distressed" and found Mr Murray's treatment of her "insensitive and unacceptable".

snip..

A statement from the Judiciary of England and Wales said: "Mr Murray is concerned about questions of identity when the full veil is worn in court. However, he agrees that he acted unwisely in disqualifying himself without giving reasons, and acknowledges that he should have sought the advice of his legal advisor in court, and discussed the provisions of the national guidelines with his colleagues on the bench, before taking action.

I've also heard of several job interviews that have also been aborted because the interviewer was unable to see the applicants face.

Exclude the Holocast? Let's see, didn't Orwell write about revisionist history in his book 1984? Not that the Brits resemble that... (B!ue dances in front of the cams when visiting London, humming the 1812 Overture from the film "V").

Holocast?
