The BBC reports on Nick Griffin, a fascist thug, and Lord Falconer, who brought us well thought out sensible government schemes like the Millennium Dome:
Lord Falconer said the government had to show young Muslims that Britain was not anti-Islamic, adding there should be “consequences” from saying Islam is “wicked and evil”.
Meanwhile, the Koran says:
9:123 O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him).
9:124 And whenever a surah is revealed there are some of them who say: Which one of you hath thus increased in faith ? As for those who believe, it hath increased them in faith and they rejoice (therefor).
9:125 But as for those in whose hearts is disease, it only addeth wickedness to their wickedness, and they die while they are disbelievers.
i.e. Christians and Jews are wicked, have diseased hearts, and should be fought whenever nearby.
Calling a religion and its practitioners wicked cannot be outlawed without also outlawing the Koran.
I only just found out that Falco’s Rock Me Amadeus is the origin of the Stop the Planet of the Apes: I Want to Get Off! song. The Simpsons is officially 20% less cool now that I know this.
I also only just found out who Falco is.
How much shine does a work lose when you find out it’s not as original as you thought it was?
Weird Al would be 20% less cool for not having written the tune to Amish Paradise, but Artis Leon Ivey himself is 20% less cool for ripping off Stevie Wonder’s Pastime Paradise to make Gangsta’s Paradise, theoretically making Weird Al a total of 36% less cool, but since Stevie Wonder inspired the awesome zen-conduct-style Stevie Wonder mode in Alien Breed Special Edition ‘92, he starts from a base of 127% coolness.
This brings Weird Al back up to roughly 81% cool, which is a solid First.
(RM Paradise is still classified under the Official Secrets Act).
