   Who is the man in the clip? Very well said. The idiot in New Plymouth has rendered herself unemployable. Perhaps that was what she was aiming to do?

     It’s Pat Condell, Cad. His YouTube Channel is chock-full of such pearls of wisdom. He’s a very, very brave man indeed.

   I feel like I have become dumber for having read that rticle. She just doesn’t seem to have a clue about anything. She becomes a Muslim, and applies for a job in a place that sells adult products and celebrates Halloween, both proscribed by Islam to the best of my knowledge. All I can glean from this article is that the woman has no real idea what she stands for, but she “became” a Muslim, and then applied for a job for which she was eminently unsuitable, and then thinks it’s completely unfair because her own stupid, misguided actions didn’t work out the way she felt they should. Then again, looking at the picture, I kind of think she had a future in a business with a Halloween theme.

     She seems to me to be a disturbed individual, Phil. Not to mention thick as two short planks.
     I suspect the claim of abuse since she donned the headscarf is a) attention seeking and b) bullshit.

   “It happens in New Zealand more than people realise, she said.”
   But still not often enough.
   If I got around in a white robe and pointy hat, or in a Nazi uniform, would I get a free pass, with people “respecting my choice” and making excuses for me along the lines of “but he only subscribes to the peaceful aspects of that organization”?
   Of course not. I’d rightly be regarded as a fuckwit and potentially dangerous.
   Why should people who join islam be treated differently?

     I’ve quit my job and am going on a benefit “now, respect my choice!” I’ve dyed my hair in a rainbow “now, respect my choice”.

     Actually the correct response to that demand is “go f#%k yourself!”.

   “A Taranaki woman who has recently converted to Islam says she has been spat on, told to go back where she came from and, during a job interview, told to take off her hijab.”

   I wish it were me that did the spitting!

     G’day TC.

     Except that’s bullshit. If someone spat on her – even in the Naki – it wasn’t because she’s devoted her life to the paedophile prophet. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

     And as for the job interview, sorry but if you’re going to divorce yourself from the societal and cultural norms of the place where you live, you can expect to be divorced from the society and culture of the place where you live. You fucking moron.

       But I guess she could get a job as a whore in Syria, mind you I guess even ISIS thugs would prefer something a little tidier……like a goat perhaps.

   As far as I know it says in the Koran, to kill all pagans, who worship any other god than Allah. So if it says that, and the terrorists quote that, I think it has everything to do with Islam. I can’t see how people can debate with those facts.

     Me neither, Warren. But it seems people have an almost infinite capacity for self-delusion.

   In that case KG, I’ve just downloaded the Koran for $0.00 onto my kindle. And I will be checking to see all the quotes that say Muslims should kill pagans who don’t believe the same thing. Maybe, if this gets out to enough people, they won’t believe what these silly people are saying. Unfortunately the mainstream media shapes people’s views on how they see the world.

   “Unfortunately the mainstream media shapes people’s views on how they see the world.”
   Ain’t that the truth. Anybody who relies on television and the traditional newspapers to give them an idea of what’s happening in the world is by definition uninformed and misled.
