Religion and the number of people on this planet are the two scourges we have to tolerate and are the result of 95% of global problems. There won't be peace on earth until we are all coffee coloured and all religion has gone the way of the dinosaurs.

Well, the French do it Philo, but I suspect that frogs are not halal.

I have seen that boiling frog allegory so many times recently on this forum that I am getting really sick of it, especially since it isn't true, metaphorically or literally.

Snake, do you mean latte, long black or short black?

Coffee is diverse. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm not a coffeeist. Celebrate coffee's diversity.

As for tea.......

RACIAL DISCRIMINATION ACT 1975

18C Offensive behaviour because of race, colour or national or
ethnic origin
(1) It is unlawful for a person to do an act, otherwise than in private, if:
(a) the act is reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to
offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a
group of people; and
(b) the act is done because of the race, colour or national or
ethnic origin of the other person or of some or all of the
people in the group.
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), an act is taken not to be done in
private if it:
(a) causes words, sounds, images or writing to be communicated
to the public; or
(b) is done in a public place; or
(c) is done in the sight or hearing of people who are in a public
place.

18c1a and 18c2a

Now..compare this with what the Quran, which is offered for sale in bookshops says about Jews.(race)

009.030
YUSUFALI: The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!

Is this not 'intimidating'.. towards Jews by race ?

Thus, without even going to the RRT2001 this should be enough to prevent the Quran being offered for sale in any public bookshop.

"words, images, sounds or writing"

Yes...No...?

What makes the greater problem....the existence and promotion of the vilification of Jews (and the growth of these values with the demographics of those who adhere to this view)..or.. drawing attention to said vilification?

I don't think you will have much chance of the Poms giving up the p1ss and not eating bacon, 2 of the basic staples of their diet.

Boazy: "Is this not 'intimidating'.. towards Jews by race ?"

Only if you're silly enough to believe in curses. Most of us leave that sort of thing to our kids and their Harry Potter books.

Besides which, the reference to Jews in the quotation is clearly on the basis of religion rather than 'race', as is the reference to Christians.

You seem a bit more muddled than usual at the moment, Boazy.
