As for the joke, it's simply not funny if you have a conscience about the rising tide of physical attacks on women wearing the veil and on Muslims in general. Of course many of you don't give a shit about that and it's fairly obvious in this thread who you are.
Here's the latest:

For Mr S.Smith
This country has always had a sense of humour especially when it comes to religion.Just look the the Life of Brian when Jesus was on the cross.It's just a bit of fun.What about father Ted?But as soon as a joke is made about muslims the pc lot go up in arms about it.Muslims start to threaten with violence.Just look at the uproar the Danish cartoon caused.That was just a bit of fun as well.It's always seems to be walking on egg shells when you talk about Islam.Muslims really ought to lighten up.it's not us who need to change our ways it's them.Unfortunatley muslims still live in medieval times

I don't think it's that offensive and for LI to link a joke with attacks on Muslims is frankly, ludicrous.
On a side note, has anyone ever been to Dubai? - If you get the chance to go there go to a slide park.....no word of lie, you see Women in the full outfit, and veil going down slides, it's hilarious.

Whether right or wrong that is just a f***ing shit joke. Really really poor.
Guess it doesnt need to be funny to get some of the right wing scum on here to laugh though.

What a load of f***ing bollocks. Why does an average joke with the taboo word 'muslim' in have to run for four pages? f***ing pathetic, get over yourselves. The joke was OK, and needed about four replies with the odd The fact that it is still being debated four pages later shows what sad lives some people on here must live.

No-one would bat an eyelid if it was a joke about Australians, Americans or the French too....

How can the joke be racist?
Islam is a religion,muslims its followers therefore could be any race ,would it be racist to joke about catholics?

But it's not ludicrous. Ok, the joke itself wasn't that offensive but it was shit in many peoples opinions, maybe not the majority who responded but certainly a sizeable minority. I wonder how many who didn't like it kept quiet to avoid the attacks aimed at anyone who dare speak against it? Who knows.
The point LI makes is valid as several of you have aquainted 'muslim' with 'spouting hate terror' etc. That's the context in which these jokes are popular and it's a dangerous one because as soon as the distinction between being muslim and being a supporter of Islamic fundamentalism is blurred innocent people become the victims (as those innocent Westerners were the victims of Al Quiada's terrorism - f***ed up logic).
Those of you who keep labeling every person who finds this worrying or objectionable as the PC Brigade (I note you all nicely ignored his point about my love of teen porn - anyone who actually knows me knows I'm about as PC as Bernard Manning) are doing no different to the Islamic fundamentalists who label every Westerner as the Christian Infidel, missing the point entirely, and hence are fair game. Labels are VERY dangerous. things.

Joe I hear what your saying. I just disagree.
It is a joke, whether you think its funny or not is irrelevant. It probably isn't the funniest joke every thought up, but it is a joke. Mockery. Having a jibe at the way people dress/or speak/or act. People take the mickey and forge stereotypes about every other nationality and religion.. why should muslims be immune from it? Because if you do push it they threaten violence? Well thats just wrong. You speak of the importance of a "distinction between being muslim and being a supporter of Islamic fundamentalism" The joke is about Muslims, not Islamic fundamentalism..its about a topical subject. You seem to serve round the subject and read into deep seated racism.. it's nonsense. I'm glad the majority on here agree with me. I rather doubt people haven't posted their objections because they're afraid of being labeled PC.. if they are it just goes to outline how brave you are to stand up against the racism spitting all white 'right wing scum' of North Stand Chat - and I salute you.
I know your not PC, in fact your about as PC as I am!
Now its a joke - find something more important to worry about.

So you've highlighted the danger of labels and then proceeded to lump me in the "you" category with the anti-PC brigarde, nice one.
Going back to the original joke there is no mention of fundamentalism or terroism etc, if people make the loose connection, then that has more to do with there lack of intelligence than the original context of the joke.
The anti PC brigade do have a point though, if pushed you can pretty much find offence with any cultural/religious joke, there has to be a balance.

If anyone can find a post on here where I've described the joke as racist or hinted that Muslims should be immune from joke-telling then I'll buy them a pint.
And yes you're right dwayne, is says a lot about lack of intelligence but I'm afraid it's the thick and twisted that do make these connections. I didn't lump you in with them, I said 'several of you'. I quoted your post as you made the point about the link and thinking it ludicrous. I maintain LI has a valid point.
I hear and get texted far worse and offensive jokes than this one often so I think there may have been a bit of an over-reaction all round, from myself and those who've jumped on me for speaking out. I just find the context of these glut of jokes worrying and I'll continue to say so.
