I haven’t made a contribution to this post.

But I have had lots of beer.

Wahey!

Maybe they should ask the “Royal Anglian” regiment to escort them to the mosque?

That poster is a riot. Bring on Reefer Madness!

But when you think about it you could all the same claims about religion, except it’s not sold in bottles. They should be careful about their propaganda, really.

I love the poster, so completely devoid of artistic merit. Isn’t representative art supposed to be harim? I also like the way anything the godly disagree with is always blamed on Satan. If there is an evil demonic power and he needed a way of bringing the maximum possible amount of pain, misery and conflict into the world, can anyone think of a better method than spawning three conflicting monotheistic religions, each with an all male priesthood, each claiming an exclusive right to allow believers into paradise?

What next?
Will they have all pork products banned within a certain area of the mosque in case people start throwing bacon and sausages at them?

“Members of the Muslim community have been targeted in the past with alcohol being hurled at them whilst on the way to the mosque.”

Hmm. Sounds like a feeble excuse to explain why they turned up stinking of booze. “We’ve not been on the pish, Imam – infidels drenched us in whisky on the rocks and gin & tonics as we innocently walked past. *Hic*”

If people are hurling alcohol, it IS too cheap. But seriously, folks, it’s perfectly legal to buy alcohol and no religious group should have a veto on when and where it’s sold. That’s sanity. Let’s hope it will break out at some point.

Good thing booze is the only thing that’s sold in bottles.

Also, alcoholism isn’t a disease because it’s sold in bottles? How is alcoholism sold in bottles? Even ignoring that, it’s like saying AIDS isn’t a disease because you can’t catch it directly.

On, not altogether, another track, I see that the fundies who had their way over the very dubious evidence concerning passive smoking, have a new campaign. The anti drinking lobby, seems to be peopled by the same group. They are suggesting that everyone who drinks anything stronger than Pepsi is a curse on humanity. They have started demanding minimum charges for drinks and banning happy hours. How long before they insist that there are separate, no-alcohol bars in pubs. How about, ‘If you smell drink on someone’s cardigan, you are a victim of passive drinking’. Lawyers will be queueing up with class actions against the drinks companies not forgetting those nasty people who supply Sch… mixers to encourage alcohol drinkers. Does this government REALLY think that kowtowing to these loony pressure groups will get them elected EVER again. I don’t think so…
