There is no way they would risk that bundle of hi tech 80s goodies. Especially as the wife can barely hit the board.

Christian cos play in Trafalgar Square yesterday.

Imagine the uproar in the right wing press if Muslims staged a mock execution of a jew in Trafalgar Square.

Difference between historical depiction and actual execution

I know most folks on here are vehemently anti-religion, but I would have thought them knowledgeable enough to recognise the difference between a symbolic re-enactment of the cornerstone of Christianity belief and the burning of an effigy, accompanied by hateful, anti Jewish speech.

I doubt that’s how most parents refer to the nativity, come Christmas.

It wasn't that long ago that catholic churches had a symbolic killing of Jews ceremony during easter to avenge the killing of the jew they claim to follow.

Edited to add. There's a depiction of such a scene in this book Requiem for a Spanish Peasant.

Muslims couldn’t even have a simple prayer ceremony in Trafalgar Square without being criticised by politicians for risk of instilling fear in society.
But a graphic reenactment go off without any comment.
I couldn’t care about either group as I have no ongoing relationship with organised religion.
But if people like Mick Timothy are going to call out one side without any comment on the actions of the other lot, then it’s just hypocrisy.

Let’s face it, the critics of Muslims aren’t really criticising their religious beliefs are they? If Muslims were predominantly white Europeans I suspect their religious beliefs wouldn’t trigger these people anywhere near as much.

What about with disorganised religion? That sounds like far more fun. Maybe a board game could be at its heart. But maybe that alone would class as organisation...

I agree. One word equality.
But you didn’t frame your post in this way.

I can't look at that picture without thinking of Life of Brian

Children's xmas plays are a different thing: the adults in the audience undergo a mild sort of willing torture or stifled amusement.
