Must not tell Muslims to clean up after themselves



Britain:
"A Labour council was at the centre of a race row last night after printing a leaflet targeted at Muslims that invoked the name of Allah in urging them to stop littering the streets.

Bradford City Council was accused of inciting racial hatred by publishing leaflets that showed rubbish-strewn pavements – and appeared to place the blame on Muslims.

The pamphlet, titled ‘Be proud of your environment’, used the Koran to lecture them about breaking the law and making a ‘horrible’ mess of the city.

It said: ‘We should respect Allah’s creations and the environments they live in. We should not act with ungratefulness by treating our surroundings with disrespect and throwing litter.’

It was aimed at an area of the city boasting a high concentration of Muslims and which the council says has a problem with messy streets.

Last night, Ian Greenwood, the Labour leader of the council, admitted the idea had been insensitive and said that the leaflets had been withdrawn.

Hey, Mr. Bird, where do you live? I have about a half ton of garbage that I would like to dump in your front yard.

So pointing out that they are violating the teachings of Islam is now off limits. Since muslims don't seem to care about anything else, it would seem to be the only logical thing left to appeal to.

That's what I am hoping. Then I can send you and your ilk to re-education camps.

Anon 10:03.......... Sounds like you could have used a plain old education at some point. Probably too late now.

Is 'ungratefulness' the same as 'ingratitude' (apart from one being an actual word and the other just ridiculous)???

On one tv episode "Raymond" said "deepness" rather than "depth". Which is better? Is the former even correct?
