		<description>I don&#039;t mind being called a Kaffir. I am a kaffir. I&#039;ve got a black friend who is offended by being called black and says he is a Nigger, not that that is what I call him of course- I am too bloody PC;-). Maybe I am a &quot;short on intelligence blogger&quot;. ha ha 

 Dirty kaffir is a catchy tune. I&#039;ve spoken to people from the Beeb who come away from terror trials whislting it and I heard Mohammed Hamid&#039;s barrister whistling it in court also.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;It is incredibly offensive to many non-muslims.&lt;/i&gt;

On the other hand, words like nigger and paki are just great! Not offensive at all!
What planet do some of you people live on?

&lt;i&gt;Good luck with finding many more of thoseâ€¦I wouldnâ€™t get into a â€œhow many extremist protesters can you findâ€ competition if I were you.&lt;/i&gt;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;When extremist Muslims say nasty things like: &quot;Britain will embrace Islam&quot;, or &quot;Christians will go to hell&quot;, or &quot;non-Muslims are unclean&quot;, then people start getting outraged and say that tolerating these people will lead to more terrorists. But why wouldn&#039;t the same logic apply to someone who uses the words &quot;golliwog&quot;, &quot;nigger&quot; or &quot;Paki&quot; with abandon? If those words become part of mainstream vernacular again, because some idiots think no one is outraged, then who is to say racist violence, which already exists, wouldn&#039;t rise?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Sunny, this logic - that if X says something radical, X must be a terrorist- is wrong. So WHY do you apply such nonsense logic to people who use &quot;gollywog&quot; and &quot;nigger&quot;? If you want to make a point by implication, make sure you starting premise is true.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt; though anyone with two brain cells to rub together can replicate that &lt;/i&gt;

Good luck with finding many more of those...I wouldn&#039;t get into a &quot;how many extremist protesters can you find&quot; competition if I were you.

And he&#039;s not comparing &quot;wog&quot; with &quot;dirty kaffir&quot; - and nor were you.

You asked specifically
&quot;Whatâ€™s the difference between a Muslim who calls someone a â€˜dirty kaffirâ€™ and Carol Thatcher calling someone a â€˜golliwogâ€™?&quot;

I think it&#039;s pretty obvious that there is quite a big difference, and not just one of &quot;etiquette&quot;.</description>
