Muslim soldiers to visit British schools to counter Islamophobia
2013-08-26
In the wake of the killing of Lee Rigby, serving Muslim soldiers are to be sent into schools around the country to counter Islamophobia
...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...

Muslim servicemen and women will be asked to address school assemblies with their Christian colleagues in parts of the country that have seen a significant increase in religious hate crimes. They are likely to include past and present Muslim soldiers who have served in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as some who were wounded.

The visits will also be coordinated around school activities to mark the centenary of the First World War next year in which hundreds of thousands of Muslim soldiers fought and died for Britain.

Earlier this month David Cameron visited a mosque in Manchester where a young white Muslim convert described how attitudes to her had changed as a soon as she covered her head with a veil. She told him of feeling hostility from people in the street and in shops, which she had never encountered when she was uncovered. Another woman said she and her friends sometimes "avoided" going into town for fear of abuse over the way they dressed.

Around 650 Muslim soldiers are currently serving across the British armed forces, including many in frontline roles.

#7  Felt kinda bad about that rickety little limerick. Y'all deserve better than that. Let's try again:

O woe is me, I wail!
Just let me wear my veil.
We only want to live in peace
(and who'll care if we start with Greece?)
We're just like you, we're humble folk
Who work all day and love a joke
And in the evening have a dram
Or anything that's not haram...
Okay, so mostly we stay in
But hey, since when is that a sin?

We only wish for peace on earth
Where every woman knows her worth
And gals who fool around are slaughtered
And some old coot will buy my daughter
But first, since it's her graduation,
Let's celebrate - with mutilation!
I really hope to see you there,
But please conceal your face and hair.

We only want to get along
We are so weak, you are so strong.
It might be different when we're through,
But now you're many, we are few.
So trust me, when the tables turn,
Your churches are too cute to burn,
And you don't use them anyway,
So we'll just borrow them, okay?

We only want to live as free
As Allan wants us all to be
So all can worship as they please
As long as they can pay the fees.
And infidels whom Allan loathes,
Will please wear tokens on their clothes,
And kindly cease to advertise,
Or else we might put out their eyes.

We only want to live our life
And cut your head off with a knife
If you disdain our Holy Book
Or say the Prophet was a kook
Or worship Sun or Earth or Moon
Or draw an incorrect cartoon
Or laugh at a Satanic Verse
Or voice an un-islamic curse
Or have a beer or sing or dance
Or strut around in saggy pants
Or other things I can't remember -
Do them and you'll be dismembered.

So now I hope that you can see,
We want to live in harmony
Where all God's creatures are connected,
Cherished, guided, and protected.
We wish to coexist with you
(as long as you are not a joo).
So thanks for reading, apes and swine -
Come on in, the water's fine!

#6  Will they carefully explain that Islam means 'Submission'?

Or will they lie and claim it means 'Peace'?

#5  An expert on Muslim morality
Lectured schoolkids on congeniality.
But hold onto your turban:
In the midst of his sermon,
He employed an explosive analogy!

#3  "In the wake of the killing of Lee Rigby, serving Muslim soldiers are to be sent into schools around the country to counter Islamophobia"

So moderate Muslims are rewarded with an opportunity for school Da'wa after a massacre committed by non-moderate Muslims.

"She told him of feeling hostility from people in the street and in shops, which she had never encountered when she was uncovered."

Oh Boo-Hoo-Hoo!
Islam is, among other things, a totalitarian political ideology. The veil is a symbol of said ideology. By wearing the veil she is in fact telling the "people in the street" that she wants to impose a political system on Britain where the "people in the street" would be 5th or 6th class slaves.

#2  Certainly worked well for the US Army:
[sarc off]

Before unleashing Hasan at Fort Hood, his higher-ups had him practice his anti-kafir “craft” on damaged soldiers in the venerated VA system, the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, to be precise. A mother whose son was left to the mercies of the major described him as scary, inappropriate and without empathy.

Instructed to “make a presentation on a medical topic of his choosing as a culminating exercise of the residency program,” Hasan came up with this: “The Quranic World View As It Relates To Muslims In The U.S. Military.”
