F**k it - Here's Omid Djalili
I was going to rant about Pat Condell's latest video ("Thank God For Andy Choudary"), but I've just decided that I cannot be arsed. Needless to say, despite his protestations to the contrary he's a right wing gitt these days. Yeah, so he right recognised that banning Islamic Fundamentalist groups from protesting is a stupid limit to free speech and the thin edge of the wedge. Who didn't know that? How about noting that the recent protests against Islam from the fascist "English Defence League" were far more worthy of such a ban (since they regularly led to violence) and yet no such action even appears to have been considered?
While Condell rants about how many Muslims want to make Britain an Islamic state, he completely fails to note that there are many many more Christians who want to make Britain into a Christian theocractic white-wash. Condell maintains his normal level of humour by suggesting that mosques be turned into pubs for the sake of community-cohesion. (The point being that Condell doesn't like community cohesion.) And he notes that Anjem Choudary is on benefits....
Now this last bit was where I just gave up. By that, I mean that I figured the best response was a clip from a stand-up act from Iranian comedian Omid Djalili about how glad he was that Omar Bakri was finally leaving the UK. (Omar Bakri was also a radical Islamist on benefits.) Omid's issue with Omar was that whenever the media wanted to include the point of view of Muslims in the UK they'd go to Omar Bakri, this raving nutcase with a hook for a hand. (If you're interested there's an article from Jon ("The Men Who Stare At Goats") Ronson about Omar Bakri.)
Anyway, having failed to find the intended clip, I ran into a lot of other clips and felt I had to share them:
In the following video the bit from 1:34 is just fantastic!:
And this is just classic:
