There has been discussion here recently as Jemima Goldsmith (Imran Khan’s former wife) has written a film. Muslim attitudes towards alcohol, marriage, dress codes etc are seemingly more progressive in Pakistan than they are here. Dunno about weed though. Young Pakistani’s here love the reefer. Possibly as a result of their intolerance here to alcohol. ---

She’s in a mosque - you wouldn’t go in there and not cover your hair. I don’t see any “begging for forgiveness”, all I see is a complete over-reaction to a non-event, and then this over-reaction being assumed that this is forced on the mother by some maniacal Muslim’s. Based on this level of hysteria, I’d assume that if the same event happened with a Bible, the kid would be sexually-assaulted by his local vicar or priest. Because stereotypes. ---

Wack And wack Do you think the school would have called the police if it was a bible? Do you think the mum would take it upon herself to go to a local church and explain how silly her kid is if her kid kicked a bible? I debated putting it in the peak woke thread because I thought the school and mom overreacted trying to be politically correct. But it wasn’t like she was giving the speech to an empty room so at least some people wanted an explanation. ---

But it wasn’t like she was giving the speech to an empty room so at least some people wanted an explanation. There’s always people at a mosque, as far as I understand its not like church where you rock up on a Sunday and that’s that. Guy I work with goes every afternoon. Additionally, Ramadan is in two days, so it’d be busy. I think the school and the mother has been reading too much BBC News and jumping to conclusions, or there’s some kind of bullshit guidelines that the education authorities have put in place for this kind of thing. Just another bullshit distraction and media-pushed reason to be depressed. Police should be focusing on who has been setting people on fire in Birmingham anyway. And I should be doing some work… > **[Man walking home from Birmingham mosque set on fire](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-65025384)** > > West Midlands Police says the man suffered serious facial injuries in the attack in Birmingham. ---

> [@jimipresley](#): > > Writing one’s user name with a capital is wankerist. Sounds like one of these folks who writes messages in all lowercase, but also can’t work out how to disable the automatic capitalisation at the start of sentences, therefore usually ends up starting each message with a space. ---
