Why oh why oh why????????

Question

why can we tell jokes about Irish Scottish Welsh English Americans, people with afflictions but not F#####G muslims?
Is it me that's wrong??????

Answer 1

Don't worry about it...the whole terrorist thing makes them uptight.

Answer 2

Why? Have you tried it on this site and recieved a violation?
They don't understand the British way of self depreciating humour and the way that telling a joke eases tensions, which is why they are the only sort of people that can't integrate into this country. I love to hear jokes about the english, which is what I am, from the welsh and the scots,

Answer 3

Oh don't forget we can't make jokes about blacks.

I was in the grocery store one day and there were a few people in line behind me of african decent, and the 3 white people in the self scanning check outs all made it slow for the people in back of them, one paid with checks, another paid for something on sale seperately, and the other was just slow. Granted, I was in a hurry and was kind of upset as well, this black man behind said something about this "white lady" using a check. What the f*** did her race have to do with it? We all could see she was white, we all could see she was using a check and slowing up the line. I can't even imagine what would go down with the races being reversed. A white male wouldn't say, "this black woman" any where near a black person.

In that case returnofvambo, nigge* doesn't mean black.

No one has ever made a Christan joke, or said "dive" when you seen the Jehovah witness coming up your sidewalk? Regardless or race or religion, we all need to just relax, who gives a shi* what someone from the other side of the world is saying in reference to you.

Answer 4

If it's told in good taste, I don't see why Muslim jokes are any worse than any other types of jokes. The problem lately is that often people aren't actually joking when they tell these jokes, so it's not done in a uplifting joking way.

Answer 5

Maybe...Muslims for the last few years have come under major scrutiny and many are aware that they are perceived negatively or as a threat when identified as a muslim. It is a shame that the true essence of Islam is not understood/ rejected by some-(including 'terrorists', who use Islam as a justification for their actions)

Answer 6

What was the name of that guy who said something about the ladies basketball team at some university?... He had a syndicated radio show, and lost his job over it...

Some groups (ethnic, religious, geographic...) are still 4 years old and go crying foul when someone makes fun of them. The rest of us have grown up and can handle a little ribbing.

Words only have the power to offend if the "target" allows it. The only reason the N-word is offensive is because blacks allow it to offend them. The only reason we tip-toe around the Musilm religion is because they are unwilling to learn how to take a joke.

Answer 7

because they are really under fire right now given all the Islamic extremisim going on in the middle east right now, and I think the peaceful muslims are getting enough flack right now due to other phycos who claim to muslims giving them a bad rap. It just isn't sensitive right now given the current situation. plus it's not really good to make fun of anyones race or heritage.

Answer 8

Ireland Scotland, Wales, England and America are all places. Muslim isn't, its a religion or something.

Answer 9

because, no one has anything that insulting about the irish, scottish, etc, culture. honestly, whats the worst you can say about them vs muslims? people can be cruel.

Answer 10

Let's face it, anyone that blows them self up thinking they are going to screw 70 virgins can't have a sense of humour. I'd like to know how they can screw with their nasty in a million pieces.

Answer 11

There is always practical jokes, like putting all their little clocks back 1 hour.
