Sorry, but did you even read the article you linked?
Why was there a "Muslim family fun day", anyway, and what does it mean?
HELLO! McFly!! Did you read the article? There were going to close the park that weekend TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC! Maybe you missed it but they had 'hired out the park' to a 'private event' that had to be cancelled.
We have Muslim Family Fun Day at Six Flags in America. The park is closed to the public for a day so Muslims can bring their kids somewhere fun without having to worry about anything haram (forbidden) going on. You won't find a barbecued pork sandwich that day, no girls in bikinis, no rock concert...that's all it is.
Yep. We Brits can't do freedom very well.
The choice of "Muslim family day" as a title invited trouble, unfortunately, because it probably implied "only Muslims" to these guys. These guys hate what they deem as 'pandering', and they have a pretty broad view of what they consider to be 'pandering', so a lot is considered it.
Wouldn't need to be Muslim day. I know plenty of Christian families that would happily give up pork to avoid slutty dress and typical rock music.
The wiki article certainly makes him look like the sort of Muslim hypocrite who will use secular freedom of western society to advocate for oppression and evil primitive culture.
:foot:
I did but I'm fairly happy with my initial response.
I'd expect it would depend on the nature of the threats and an assessment of the real threat they might pose. I agree that it would be stupid to react like this to the average troll but I'm sure Legoland get that kind of trash all the time just like any other company so there must have been something about this that made them think differently. I'll trust their judgement unless I see a good reason to doubt them.
Because you apparently don't know this, when you hyper-link a story like that here, it will typically show up as the news article here on the site. Such as, a direct link to the Yahoo story, even with the http:// and all the other stuff that directs your click straight to the story,shows up as:
The thing with online threats, is they aren't too hard to receive. When you bow and yield to terrorist, you are letting them win. The only way to combat a force that wields fear is to show them you are fearless. Yes, there will be more attacks, and more people will die, but I'd rather the terrorist become furious that their attacks are not scaring people enough than letting them know they can have their way with just threatening people. Legoland does deserve criticism for allowing the terrorist to win. Much like how they won over America the way we said it's ok for the government to spy on us, have armed guards everywhere, and how we let ourselves become afraid. And instead of attacking them directly, we bombed to countries and mucked up Iraq's political and social environment. All the while we spend trillions of dollars, loose more lives in combat than the 9/11 attacks claimed, we have shown how pathetic we are at loosing to bullies. Legoland essentially tucked their tail between their legs, skimperrd off, and lost to a group of bullies.
