just curious

I very much doubt any such protest march would be organised never mind happen.

In terms of relevance to most of the Accyweb membership that should be the priority

Market Handbook burning ceremony anybody ?

Bernadette , as much as I dislike any political activism by school teachers, in this instance I think I could support them in leading their classes out of school on a protest march to every Town Hall in the country, not just the UK but world wide

, , even though you do like to bash/slag off the "HBC Leader' on this forum, there seems to be much that you respect/like him for, .. he looks after Ossy , and thats what I would want from my local politico .
No offense meant by my earlier post,(uber Liberals) but the question remains , who do the regular folks of Hyndburn have more sympathy for the woman in Iran facing death by stoning (under Sharia Law) or the folks on the Blackburn road corridor protesting about some nutcase in Florida who wants to burn a few pages of printed paper ,

Would welcome a response from any Accy web user of any religious faith or political persusion to explain/justify this to me
Thanks

Labels, labels.

I did once have dinner with Thatcher.

I've also spent an evening with Naomi Campbell.

I suppose that means I'm black?

I've been accused of being a raving red on here, but a Tory boy is a first.

Classic.

Totally wrong, but classic.

As to the question. I hate all intolerance. Especially when masked by various religions.

I'll vehemently oppose it, whether it's in Florida, Rome, Mecca, or Accy, until I draw my last breath.

I agree people should be vocal about these barbaric practices but don't see it happening anytime soon

The proposal to burn the Koran is also way out of order, we can't monitor peoples beliefs. And we would only give extremists more cause to protest and put peoples lives at risk.

I also don't agree with Sharia Law being allowed to be used in this country (we have laws in place already) and personally think it is a big step back for Muslim women. Yes I know it is under the guise of "both parties being agreeable to its use " but somehow can't see it offering Muslim women the protection they could well need in say divorce cases.

I suspect you have been away too long, the Burnley Dingles you are implying above, have spread from Blackburn Rd and can be found in every part of Hyndburn these days, but fortunately as a race they seem able to tolerate the rest of us.

Sister, you really need some rest, if you think that tag is at all applicable.

Divinely funny mislabelling.

Thanks for the laugh.
