[...] A simply incredible story of a cop giving a fellow cop a tasteless gift of bacon and wine. [...]

I believe Islam had already been mortally transgressed by the offer of a Christmas gift in the first place.

It’s about us, not you…

As in 1984, it’s about the joys of power, not the victims or criminals….

Pork has almost achieved weapon/contraband status. Insurance should be considering the way they treat Qurans and pork. Not together!

The English are really just Fascists hiding behind funny accents and arrogance. Between having to support a bunch of morally absent despots called “Royalty” to having CCTV cameras record their every move, to having a health care system which puts them into a que where they are just another number, they have become nothing more than sheep.
In all seriousness, they are everything we should aspire to resist.
On the other hand, isn’t it funny how pork is taboo in both Islam and Judaism? It’s interesting how many characteristics the two relgions share.

I would hate to think if the gag-gift was edible underwear.
I would hate to think it, but I can’t stop myself.

The gag-gift was given by a gag-friend. I have many Jewish friends. I’ve never considered giving them bacon or shellfish as a gag.

it’s the perfect crime.

Yup, thats why political correctness in a free country can’t be a crime and remain free.

“Nothing is as peevish and pedantic as men’s judgments of one another.” – Erasmus

to which Shakespeare might add, “Yeah, especially regarding emotive expression in English.”

Call me a pedant, but it’s spelled yea. (Not to be confused with yeah.)

Well, if it’s pedantic you want….

YAY is celebratory; YEA is answering in the affirmative.

Ridiculous. Here’s an instance where the Muslim community displays tolerance and a bit of grace, and the non-Muslim community won’t let them.

It’s a bit early to start drinking, but…

It was bad taste. But what can you expect from the feminized british society? Sucking it up has taken back bench to caring about each other’s feelings.

The response of the Muslim community was quite commendable in this case. I find that very heartening. Credit where credit is due.
The preemptive self-flagellation of the Police Department is silly, dangerous, and unlikely to end anytime soon, or with that lone department.

First things first- This was truly a tasteless “gag gift.” Along the lines of giving rollerskates to a parapalegic or the COSTCO-sized box of condoms to a female co-worker.

That being said, the response of just laughing it off and moving on is the correct way to deal with non-repetitive tasteless humor.

elgeneralisimo has a couple of questions…

1. Is the outrage that a Muslim would get a Christmas present or that he got a gag gift that topped off the irony ?

2. When did Islam, a religion, become a race ?

Sometimes it’s the dhimmified non-Muslims who are worse than uptight Muslims.

Walking into a lunch room, an Indian asked a Mexican co-worker what he was eating, he responded “Asada”; “Asada, what is that” the Indian asked…”I’m eating your God”.
Sensitive stuff, yeah, buy the whole (including the Indian) erupted in laughter.
Since the beginning of time, cultures made fun of each other. Groups make fun of each other, one group of guys, one group of girls, make fun of others. One nation, makes fun of others. Italian, Jews, Poles, Norwegians, Swedes, Irish, Russians, name a culture or class of people that do not have jokes played against them or jokes aimed at them, and I will debate that culture does not exist.
