There has been a huge media furore surrounding the appearance of the British National Party’s Nick Griffin on BBC Question Time this Thursday just gone. For those interested in this debacle, I’ve posted a handful of links to recent BNP-related news stories on The Daily Terror.
Islam News @ NYT- Women’s Rights in Mideast:
- Driving Miss Saudi: Young women in Riyadh try to balance Islam and modernity as the stunted desert kingdom makes progress in “Saudi Time.”
- Swedish Artist Says Sketch of Prophet Aimed to Mock All Religions: A man who prosecutors say was the target of a murder plot says his caricature of the Prophet Muhammad was intended to poke fun at all sacred symbols.

I felt pity for him…….still, ridicule, especially when a leader cluelessly self-parodies, is the best weapon of the meme jihad against ignorance and bigotry.
The BNP needs their own humiliation lvl warning system, like our wingnuts.
I think Griffin pegs at orange.

The media frenzy has sadly engulfed The Guardian, who have gone totally bonkers over Griffin’s Question Time appearance, both in terms of coverage and paranoia. The Independent seem to be more low key, and hats off to the Independent on Sunday for giving readers a free poster: I am Nick Griffin’s Brain.

Now this is ultra-freakin’ hilarious.
White supremacist David Dukes tries to distance himself from Even Worse White Supremacist Griffin.

Oh why can’t we have fun stuff like that in our papers? I might actually go out and buy one (instead of reading it online).
