#1 Muslim leaders have accused Robert Kilroy-Silk of "anti-Arab and anti-Muslim views" after a newspaper piece entitled "We Owe the Arabs Nothing".

{...}

In the Sunday Express piece, the former Labour MP referred to Arabs as "suicide bombers, limb-amputators, women repressors".

Nothing like making a big stink to deflect public attention when someone voices an opinion that hits a little too close to home, eh?

#2 Here's a link to more of Mr. Kilroy-Silk. Apparently host of a "Springer" style show on the BBC.

Look to him being sacked as the sacrificial lamb the BBC offers up to show its "unbiased", when in reality he's the balance to the BBC international desk...

#3 People should start painting "Kilroy was here" around London. REALLY make the Islamofascists nervous.

#4 Kilroy has always been a top talk show host because he speaks his mind and isn't scared to say what he and many others think.He hit the nail right on the head with this newspaper piece.I really admire the guy for doing this especially because over here in England to many people are to scared to speak the truth and are scared of telling the Muslims what we really think of their shite religion.What makes it so much better is that he works for the BBC,it will really piss those fanatic appeasing bunch that run the BBC.I say give Kilroy a medal and Knight him.trouble is for him he'll probably get a letter bomb from the 'religion of peace' for it. All hail Kilroy.

#6 Naming names, calling a spade a spade. So political correctness may be melting on the windy isle.

#7 Too soon to tell, Lucky. With the voice of the people being squashed ("Let us defend our homes with the Burglar's lives!" "THAT'S BARBARIC! NO WAY!"), no telling how long it will be before sane people will exceed 50% of the population...

#8 "More likely Mr Kilroy-Silk will be in danger of having his car bombed by the Religion Of Peace."

How dare you say we're not a religion of peace! I'll KILL you for saying that!!!

#9 --The Commission for Racial Equality has also reported the matter to the police.--

Why, are Brits supposed to become "suicide bombers, limb-amputators, women repressors" so they'll be equal?

#10 Has anyone found a link to the article itself? It appears the online edition of the Express doesn't provide access to archived information.

#11 Bwahahahaha! The Army of Steveâ¢ is everywhere!

Kilroy-Silk couldn't have been Steve Den Beste -- his rant was too short :-)

But I'd be proud to claim the article. Hmmm, some local papers 'round here could use a good rant. Hmmm ...

#13 Mr Sacranie questioned whether if the word Jew or black was substituted for Arab in the piece,
the presenter would not still be occupying a high-profile spot on television.

Unfortunately their just aren' that many suicide bombing jews or Blacks.

#15 Just loved your comments on the article! Probably safer not to include identity or someone might be keen to show me how "freedom of speech" is a special privilege of only a few and in special cases and only in one direction!

#16 If this man is even prosecuted for uttering truisms...the world is in a worse state than commonly perceived. I rant on in the manner in which he has stated his obvious, pent up frustrations at the Arab world in general. With all due respect to the balance of the discerning world...just who the fuck is blowing up who? The Arabs taint their own in general...without ANY regard for their own...or recourse by the world. Talk about opportunism...How dare 'they' even point a finger at him for telling the truth? In my humble opinion, Mr Silk should be knighted for honesty, integrity and intestinal fortitude!!
He should be beatified by the Pope..knighted by the Queen...Given the key to NY...A packet of 144 condoms....Anything,,,except the vilification by Islam!!
