    What hasn't been mentioned in this thread is that the whole naming Teddy Bear incident actually happened in September and it was not the parents who complained about said bear. The complaint apparently came from a former employee of the school who was disgruntled at their treatment and wanted to attack the school (rather than the teacher it would seem).

    The religion may change, the country may change, but the same pettyness exists the world over, it would seem.

    Of course in all the controversy there has been one forgotten victim :- Surreal Scoop: “Muhammad” Teddy Bear to be flogged

    I know I only posted once on this thread, but isn't it funny how Muslims, Buddhists, Etc can go to any Christian country and say whatever they want about other GODS and get away with it, but if a "NON-MUSLIM" person asks a bunch of Muslim children what they want to name a teddy bear..........the whole country wants to put that person to death!!!
    Hmmmm!!! Think about what Christian countries would do if they thought that way "TODAY"!!!!!

    School Scraps Nature Course As Pigs Enrage Muslim Pupils

    School Scraps Nature Course As Pigs Enrage Muslim Pupils

    AMSTERDAM, 27/04/07 - A school in Amsterdam has halted lessons on rural life because the Islamic children refused to talk about pigs. Reporting this, Alderman Lodewijk Asscher said he wants to take "tough measures." Subsidies for all kinds of dubious groups must stop and parents of unruly children penalised financially.

    Asscher told newspaper De Volkskrant: "A primary school in Amsterdam-Noord has decided no longer to teach about living on a farm. Various pupils began to demolish the classroom when the pig came up for discussion. Apparently it has gone that far. These children, 9, 10 years old, have not been given even the most elementary rules at home about why they must go to school."

    Asscher, who is also the Labour (PvdA) leader in Amsterdam, wants to subject the parents to an 'upbringing requirement,' enforced with negative financial spurs. He is thinking of cuts in the children's allowance or lower welfare payments. In the Lower House, Youth and Family Minister Rouvoet recently rejected a plea for this from Party for Freedom (PVV).

    Asscher also wants to prune the forest of subsidies for all kinds of foundations and organisations that say they work for multicultural goals. They receive 160 million euros annually from Amsterdam. Asscher wants to work out for each of these organisations in the "welfare industry" whether they do useful work and if not, halt the subsidy.

    Asscher gave an example of abuse: "A Moroccan man took 50 youths off the streets, who were really an enormous nuisance. Now they collect wheelchairs for the handicapped in Surinam, Morocco and Turkey. Suddenly, a welfare body was set up alongside him, which is now trying to take the boys over from him, because they would then receive subsidies of 4,000 to 6,000 euros per kid. They are too timid to take these lads of the street themselves and now want them in their card-index because of the subsidy. Our Moroccan volunteer does not want to do it any more. I understand him."

    Asscher is also shocked by the powerlessness of welfare bodies who try to talk criminal youngsters back onto the right track. In Slotervaart district, a mother of 10 children, of whom half have a criminal record, is guided by 35 different social workers, the alderman discovered. They have little or no idea of what each other is doing, according to Asscher.
    There'll be hell to pay if I can't eat ham and bacon at my local breakfast diner because some muslims complained. I mean seriously, hell to pay.

    Unbelievable. 9 year old kids indulging in this behavior!!!

    Now I think I can believe the Muslims when they say that every child is born Muslim. They have to LEARN to be civilized.

    Calm down guys, you're starting to sound like an inverse PDF. (the original)

    Muslim kids go to my daughters school and none of them tear the place up, nor do they have a problem with the petting zoo. We've got a lovely young Muslim woman boarding with us while she goes to our University here (full fee-paying student, paid for by her government) and she has no problem with us having bacon and ham in the fridge.
    Sure there's a problem with PC'ness and the PC brigade love to outrage you but you're becoming prey to the crap going on in Europe. Remember what both Dale and I predict about Europe: within the next ten to twenty years they'll have the ovens cranked up again.
    Most of these outrageous 'bad behaviour by Muslims stories' are trotted out as part of that buildup: the problem isn't going to be the Islamisation of Europe, it's going to be stopping Europeans wiping out the Muslims.
    We've got problems here too: the bloody Maoris constantly moan, the bloody Pakeha constantly pull dodgy deals, the bloody Asians can't drive for sh*t, the bloody Indians own all the dairies and bloody Islanders couldn't do a days work to save their lives. In other words, we're all as bad as each other.

    I don’t think for one second that Muslim people/kids are any more crazy than any other group. The problem is if anyone else tried this sort of thing, they would just get slapped down and told not to be such a silly person.

    Everyone seems to be scared of even the slightest argument with either the Muslim community as a whole, or even an individual.

    That's because in the UK the indigenous population has been brainwashed by government-inspired Political Correctness The new laws on 'religious hatred' further confuses the issue. New Labour (spit) are trying to legislate common sense out of existance. They don't use it themselves but it upsets them to see others using it.

    I am actually waiting for someone (of any religion) to have a go at me because I am an atheist (I often have debates with people because I cant stand people who blindly follow a faith just because their Father did), because the laws on religious hatred should apply to everyone, and I want to see if that law applies to my religious belief (my belief being that I have none).

    Trust me, I have undulged in several of those debates, you don't wish to go there. The sheer ignorance of it will drive you mad! Often, the answer to "why do you follow it?" is mostly, "because its the truth!" and the answer to "how do you know?" is usually "faith!". Nevermind the fact that one can also have "faith" in a fairy land or a wonderland.

    Go visit any Buddhist or an "etc" country and say whatever you want about other gods, most likely, you will also get away with it.

    Exactly. The PC brigade or provocateurs as we knew em in my day love stirring up shyt.
    Take any group, set em up as 'special' and 1: that group believes it and demands more of the same and 2: the rest of the population resents it.
    Europe (and for a while nz's) problem is that the provocateurs currently have legislative clout. You really do need a good old fashioned dose of toryism.

    The maori and pakeha parts of me are in constant conflict. One part wants to lie on my couch and the other wants to swap it for some beads and a musket then demand it back and lie on it.

    Well so far the religious hate laws seem to not have trodden on common sense. As much as I hate them, that BNP-inciting-religious-hatred case was nonsense and it was only correct that they were acquitted.
