Zionists stole my SHOE, claims Muslim campaigner
Sometimes there's only one rational explanation for not finding your shoe: obviously, Zionists working within a global conspiracy must have taken it. At least this was the explanation put forward by Asghar Bukhari, founder of lobby group the Muslim Public Affairs Committee, on a Facebook rant (now seemingly not there any more …

Re: Unlikely
I'll "bite" as I've read a bit about this recently. Yes Muslims are not allowed to keep dogs except as working dogs.
And 'fatwa' is closer in translation to 'educated religious opinion', rather than the common understanding. So eg whether or not a muslim fasting during Ramadan is allowed to use ear drops or eye drops would come under the approprite 'fatwa'.

Re: AC Re: Unlikely
"Dogs are considered unclean....." Well, mainly yes but also no. Just as there are many branches of Christianity with a common core but differing details of belief, so too there are different "schools" of Islam with different approaches to animals. The Maliki Sunnis don't view dogs as unclean, indeed they value them for their loyalty. The common Muslim insistence that dogs are "unclean" probably stems from a pre-Islamic Arab superstition that black dogs were the embodiment of evil and messengers for Allat, the ancient Arabic goddess of the underworld.

Description of the thief
The police have issued a description of a man wearing a large furry hat, what appears to be dreadlocks ( 2 of), has only one leg, impeccable lock picking skills, capable of hopping very silently, speaks Yiddish and has a severely bad taste in shoes.
Now that cant be to hard to pick out, in fact I think I can see him trying to escape

Re: auburnman Re: gloabl? Come on.
"I realise deadline and money pressures are squeezing the proofreading process, but this clearly hasn't even been spell-checked." I suspect the author was having problems typing due to being doubled over in mirth. However, it does come across as a bit tragic that - having read the silliness of Mr Bukhari's post - you only saw fit to comment on a typo.

Does anyone listen?
I don't know which likelihood is worse here:
1) He genuinely believes that and people still listen to him.
2) He's a piece of shit-stirring scum and people still listen to him.
Next week: Having realised that this makes him look even more of a twat than usual, he claims that Mossad hacked his Faceberk account and posted that to discredit him....

Re: Does anyone listen?
Idiots listen to idiots. Always have, always will.
There's gonna be a ton of people stupid enough, paranoid enough, or otherwise religiously/politically enraged to pay attention to this prat.
Is he going to retract this when he finds his shoe down the back of the shoe rack or under the dog bed? Fuck no. After all, the only thing worse than looking like a twat, is looking like a twat twice.

Re: Jimmy2Cows Re: Does anyone listen?
"....Is he going to retract this when he finds his shoe down the back of the shoe rack or under the dog bed?...." Of course not! He will justify it to himself by claiming that the Zionists put it back again just to further mess with him. That kind of delusional behaviour is self-perpetuating, the only hope is that Mr Bukhari will amuse us with another hilarious post when the shoe is "evilly" returned.

Re: Does anyone listen?
It's not he believes, its a fact we have all listened to him (we may not believe him) and this disturbs me!
I keep remembering the story about Paul Gascoigne and his so called paranoia over having his phone hacked - every one said this was part of his mental illness yet the Daily Mirror had to pay him £180K in compensation because they hacked his phone.

Anyone remember the Sunday Sport ?
For some reason I am reminded of two "stories" they ran. The first was
"WW2 bomber found ON MOON" (with appropriate photo evidence).
Then the next week, the headline was "WW2 bomber found on Moon DISAPPEARS" which led into an article seriously examining the "possible" explanations
1) That the bomber has been removed by the same forces that got it there
2) That the bomber was still operational and flying over the moon
or
3) The photo (last weeks) was a FAKE.
The fact that they served 3 explanations to their readership tells you all you need to know.
