Committee On Virgins


Life is full of wonderful contradictions - you've got to admit.

On one occasion a serious author author - Salman Rushdie - writes an obscure book about the Islamic faith - The Satanic Verses - and all hell breaks loose.

The Ayatollah of Iran swiftly issues a 'fatwa' - a religious order - proclaiming that it is the duty of all good Muslims to murder Salman Rushdie on sight for insulting Islam.

Yet the 'religious believers' who are so keen to murder another human being - have never read the book and can offer no insight into its contents - simply that's it is or was 'blasphemous'.

I suppose it's a bit like the Pope or Archbishop of Canterbury demanding that Monty Python be put to death in some cruel way - for making 'Life of Brian'.     

Some years later the Scots comedian - Billy Connolly - does a wickedly funny piece in one of his stand up routines which slates all religions - but does a particular number on Islam.

Yet nobody cries 'blashphemy' - or calls upon devout Muslims to cut off the comedian's head - while it's still attached to the rest of his body.

So here's a YouTube video of Billy Connolly at his irreverent best - I can't imagine living in a society where to poke fun at suicide killers - would be a religious crime.

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
