What's more 'trivializing' of what these animals do to women: this comedy sketch, or the BBC and the Guardian casually dismissing the phenomenon of these teenage girls running off to join ISIS as rash behavior by young people who have no direction and are attracted to the glamor?David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-66691428731793732502017-01-06T21:27:01.263+00:002017-01-06T21:27:01.263+00:00Complaints From, not For.

You can hear the anxiety in the panellists on Radio 4's News Quiz as they make jokes about migration, or rather find ways of not making jokes about migration while appearing to make jokes about migration. Especially as they are "hideously white" and have the example of John Holmes before them.

It's Islmaophobic to associate them with proper Muslims, which is why referring to them as the 'so-called Islamic State' is in the BBC Style Guide.<br /><br />IN: Making fun of ISIS is Islmaophobic!<br /><br />Seriously, I think the BBC commissioned this deliberately to generate fodder for their Complaints For Both Sides defense. "Our critics say we never make jokes about Muslims. Finally we do, and look at the reaction. The truth is, we get it about right."David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.com
