thewayne"Europe is finished...In Britain...there are actual cities, like Birmingham, that are totally Muslim, where non-Muslims just simply don't go in. And in parts of London there are actually Muslim religious police that actually beat and actually wound seriously anyone who doesn't dress according to religious Muslim attire."
-- Steven Emerson of the Investigative Project on Terrorism on Fox News
"I checked whether this was some kind of early April Fool spoof, and then I thought he was talking about Birmingham, Alabama, but then I realized he was just utterly and completely wrong."
-- Birmingham's Member of Parliament Gisela Stuart
"A complete idiot."
-- British Prime Minister David Cameron

"The city is now called Birming because Ham is not halal...The local death squads go by the name of Quran Quran...Birmingham has a chain of fast food restaurants called 'Burqa King'...Viewed from above, the M26 spells out 'Death to the West' in Arabic...Nottingham is 99% Jedi..."
It'll be interesting to see if The Daily Show does anything on this. But as this seems to be pretty much the gold standard for Fox News, maybe they won't.
But I do like the Quran Quran, I wonder if they're going to do an Islamic remake of Barbarella?

Murdoch is an amazing dried-up something. Doesn't care about anything about money, ethics be damned. He must be a Scrooge acolyte.
