Thread Name: BS: Political Correctness goes too far
Subject: RE: BS: Political Correctness goes too far
Ah, I might have tried a rational think about what Akenaton was stating but try as I might, I can't so thats that.
After all, he says Albanians but he says Pakistani Muslims. So what is the religion of the Albanian slave owners and how does their religion affect this debate?
After all, if gangs from Pakistan are judged by their faith, then so should the Albanians, oh and so should every law breaker.
As the q'ran (according to an Islamic scholar I was reading of recently) goes out of it's way to forbid making money out of slavery, I fail to see how bringing the religion into it helps. After all, bad enough evil people using religion as a front for their own bigotry and ends without everybody acknowledge it.
Political correctness? Ok, let's bring it back into the debate. A colleague who is a Muslim sent me a Xmas card and we sent one back. Now, the one we sent, I couldn't remember his home address so put it in his pigeon hole at one of our offices. His manager saw me put it in and the next thing I know, I get an email from some diversity officer in our London office asking me if I went out of my way to offend Muslims.
I sent it to Tahir who kindly sent them an email asking them to get stuffed. Moral? There aint one, I am just upset that tax payers are paying for this crap and otherwise rational people feel it important to be condescending to minority employees.
Me? She forgot I am not technically employed so her threats were a good giggle too.
