Actually, he's outraged over a pub named Medina. Get your priorities straight, willya? "Muslims' fury at 'holy city' boozer," by Kurt Bayer for the Scottish Sun, March 3 (thanks to all who sent this in):
A MUSLIM leader has blasted a pub for using the name of holy city Medina - branding it an insult to his religion.The boozer in Dundee changed its name from Bar Rio to Medina Bar and Grill after a renovation.
But this has sparked outrage - as Saudi Arabian city Medina is the second-holiest site in Islam behind Mecca.
Medina is also a term used for a market or trading centre in north African cities.
But Mohammed Bashir Chohan, chairman of the Dundee Islamic Society, last night said: "People are upset about it because Medina is a holy city. It does hurt when somebody misuses the name, especially if they are going to sell liquor."
The issue has been raised with local MP Jim McGovern.
His spokesman said he was working with councillors including Labour's Mohammed Asif to "try to bring the parties together to reach a solution".
Yesterday a spokesman for Medina said there was no offence intended - but added they were unlikely to change the bar's new name....
Let's hope not. And if you're in the area, go hoist one at the Medina -- in the name of all free people.
The solution is for Muslims to go live in Medina... This is not their country... It belongs to the people, not the immigrants. It our land, not your land.
FUNKY COLD MEDINA!!!
have a kuffaroriffic time with this one, your from the desktop of MC Ethoman!

Better not tell Chohan about a small town in California, not far from the Salton Sea, named Mecca.
He should change the name to Yathrib.
Or Banu Qurayza - just to educate people about that incident of ethnic cleansing and mini-holocaust.
Bigfoot,
We have a similar small town here in west-central Indiana named Mecca.
Pretty sure it has a bar or two, and a liquor store!
Would agree very much to IMF's idea - a bar named Banu Qurayza.
LOL the original version is even better, Tone Loc even gets his dog drunk, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4xDD haramoramma.

Funky Cold Medina :-)
"People are upset about it because Medina is a holy city. It does hurt when somebody misuses the name, especially if they are going to sell liquor."--Mohammed Bashir Chohan
Yes, he would rather that the name Medina be associated with the "holy" activities of the "holy prophet" in Medina, i.e., murder, rape, pedophilia, slavery, extortion, robbery, hostage-taking, etc.
Yeah... they're upset about soiling the meaning of the arabic name medina. Of course, they're not upset that Yathrib, was the name of the town before it was medina, and was founded by some jews who left Israel after the fall of the first commonwealth there, and who were betrayed, and expelled, and killed off there and the rest of arabia, never to be allowed to return according to the arab version of a 'hero' mohammed.
I say, the bar should call itself Yathrib and tell everyone that medinas a dirty name as far as they're concerned and their beers way too good to be named after some cuthroats who cry about fake insults when homicidism is their creed and deed.
Gosh, I wonder if I'll have any complaints about the new brothel I'm opening in Nevada: it's to be called Madame Mecca's Oasis. There'll be a staff of 72 girls.
I know a gal with the last name of "Medina".
She's Catholic, HOT! and loves vodka.
If I wasn't already married, I'd propose to her.
muhammad wouldn't be please.
Oh well. Fugg him and his dusty bones.
Is it possible that beers named Medina, Mecca, Mohammed, Aisha, Koran, etc. would sell well in Infidel lands, if for no other reason than defiance?
"Bartender: I'll have a Mecca and my boyfriend here will have an Aisha. What the heck, I'll buy a Medina or a Koran for anyone willing to chug them in the next 2 minutes."

_________________________
The above are all from Wikipedia.
There are many other examples.
Immigrant Jews referred to America as "die goldene Medina" which means the "golden country." See the works of Oscar Handlin, passim. Are others, aside from Muslims, not allowed to have the word "Medina" in their own languages?
What about the use of mecca to describe a place where you get everything and anything associated with some particular interest. A town or a business could be said to be the "mecca of guns" or the "mecca of BBQ". Even that phrase will be outlawed if Muslims are allowed to spread in the West.
And what about all the MECCA Bingo Clubs around England?
Muslims don't seem to object about those, do they? Probably enjoy going to them and having a 'flutter' on a Saturday night.
I think the big Mecca UK organisation also has on-line gambling and other forms of 'games of chance', but might be mistaken, as I haven't been 'home' since 1990.
Sadly, at 76 years old, I know I shall never be able to return to England that now, alien place of my birth.
Unless The English people finally rediscover their lost British Empire courage and rid my 'Sceptered Isles' of that alien infestion (and also withdraw from the European Union!).
Let my British passport expire years ago. Feel like cutting it up and sending the pieces to Aunty Liz, at Buck House, Londonistan.
Yet another item to add to the ever-expanding list of Things That Offend Muslims.
See this link.
http://amboytimes.typepad.com/the_amboy_times/2007/02/the_list_of_thi.html
I shall file this story not only in my file for jihad news from the UK, but also in my 'Religion of Perpetual Outrage' file, along with such objects of Muslim rage as a giant teapot (Malaysia) and a teddybear named Muhammad.
What next? "The Simpsons" will have to rename "Mo's Tavern?"
How about this , mecca-ca , for number 2 and med-urina for number 2.
oops! used a 2 instead of a 1.
Screw the "offended" muslims! They have far too much free time on their hands, which they spend searching for things to be offended about. The arrogance of these people never ceases to amaze me. Can anyone explain the benefits of muslim immigration? I would feel so much better if I could find just one positive aspect of muslim immigration to the West. What productive, beneficial contributions do muslims make to the countries they invade?
I could list a hundred negative effects caused by muslims and their incongruous religion, but not a single positive comes to mind. Whenever a muslim makes the news, it's not for heroism, philanthropy, scientific discovery, academic achievement, or technological innovation. Muslims make the news for plotting terrorism, enacting terrorism, honor killings, hate screeds, rape and vandalism, graft and corruption, welfare fraud, and grievance theater. How did America get where it is today without the help of muslims?
The multiculturalists tout "diversity" as the savior of Western man because they consider Western Civilization flawed and inferior to alien cultures. The more they can dilute our culture with disparate traditions, the better it will become. They have compromised the security and social cohesion of America by importing millions of unassimilable, incompatible muslims. I think the social engineers and intelligentsia are as destructive as muslims and their "intellectual" ideas have caused irreparable damage to our country. The sooner their failed theories and experiments are canned, the better.
How about a town named Mahomet. One in Illinois and one in
Texas.
I seem to remember some artist putting a crucifix with my God on it into a vat of urine a few years back and calling it art. I remember that we were not supposed to be offended but honey, that was offensive. Funny though, nobody was killed over it. Maybe Muslims could get a clue. Or better yet, maybe all of us normal folk can rise up, meet at the pub and buy a couple of beers every night for, oh say, the next three years. I bet the Muslims would get the message then.
"I bet the Muslims would get the message then."
You really seriously are missing the point. They are not going to "get the message" now or ever. No good can come from allowing Muslims to continue to stay and spread in the West. Thinking that there is something that we can do or not do to make them "get the message" is totally delusional. Islam is a permanent and eternal enemy of everything the West stands for, enjoys, loves, is, now, in the past and in the future for as long as Islam exists.
Even though there are hundreds bars and nightclube that go by the name of MECCA, I wonder if Mohammed Bashir Chohan would be upset to know that one of the most popular Gay bars in San Francisco is named Mecca?
What about Tone Loc's "Funky Cold Medina?"
Somehow that seems appropriate. What with all the bending over sticking their butts in the air, covering up the women, the reported popularity of homosexual relations among men and boys in many Islamic cultures. Googling 'muhammad gay' returns over 2.5 millions hits. Mecca, ha, prancing around in their pajamas, throwing stones at the devil, come on, it is gay, gay gay.
Actually that's spelled "Moe" on "The Simpsons."
Hey - I'm insulted that there are Muslims in Dundee so you all need to get the hell out. Sooner than later.
I went to University in Dundee some years ago. And I can tell you that there are dozens of little stores and newspaper shops owned/run by Asian Muslim families who have shelves stacked with alcohol to sell to the infidels.
If Mohammed Bashir Chohan is going to get worked up about alcohol, then why doesn't he tell all these dozens and dozens of Muslim families to clear their shelves of this evil stuff and be good Muslims? They're not supposed to even handle the stuff.

"More on the Policy of Divide and Rule" Page 86, "... At first Muhammad sent the early believers to Abyssinia, but later, when he made a pact with the Arabs of Yathrib, he chose that town as his compound. He even changed the name of Yathrib and called it Medina (which is short for Medinatul Nabi, the Prophet's Town)."
Its the same in our part of the world selling alcohol and soft porn is no problem for muslims. It does not matter to them so long as they only sell it to kuffurs. Any teetotal Christian doing it would be rightly called a hypocrite.
On the fall of Saddem Hussian alBBCera did a background story about porn DVD's going back on sale in Baghdad. Apparently he banned them and they mentioned Iraqis seemed to prefer ones featuring European women. Dumb**** BBC - they would not dream of watching porn featuring muslim women but all kuffur women are considered whores anyway so again - no problem.
Back on thread. Remarkable that in a small place like Dundee they have councilors calling the shots on a minor thing like the name of a bar.
for moslems "it does hurt when someone misuses the name [Medina]"
they are such strange folks getting hurt over that....
for the rest of us it hurts when things like the following happen :
bombs maime us
little girls are killed by their relatives
we get raped for not wearing a box on our heads
and so on
If those glasgow moslems were busy working and contributing to society they wouldn't have time to kick up a fuss....
It seems taking benefits from the state leaves too much time on their hands....
I followed the directions of the "Allah Sweden" poster who just above gives a link to a (presumably machine) translation of a Swedish original.
This is the beginning of the English version:
"When the boy was reading errors from the Quran, he was beaten with a belt. As he once said he was too tired to read, he was threatened with a knife. Now the father has been charged with aggravated fridskränkning."
"Aggravated fridskränkning"?
Machine translation still has some kinks in it. And possibly always will.
Speaking of oddly Islamic place names in the West, how about Islamorada, a vacation spot in the Florida Keys?

I haven't been able to find out how it got that hinky name.

That's a very good idea. Unfortunately I'm not in the area, but I'll drink to the spirit of Medina - the pub.

To wake up to this is absolutely classic! I'm laughing my a** off, and I haven't even had my coffee yet!
Robert . . . keep this up, and I might be able to kick that coffee habit.
What a jolt!
Hesperado, not Islamorada, but Isla Morada (Spanish: purple island).
With a tag like Hesperado I thought you would have gotten that :-)
The religion of perpetual outrage marches on. Really, to be a devout adult Muslim has to mean that a part of you has never grown up. So, Islam is not just the religion of perpetual outrage but also the religion of childish adults ready to throw a hissy fit, sometimes lethal to others, at the slightest provocation or, often times, when virtually no provocation exists at all, such as here. What a pathetic faith.
I hope the owner of the Medina bar sticks to his guns and sticks to the bar's name.
'Sir, please don't change the name of your bar just to assuage the muslims' offended feelings. They get offended by every small thing.'
Yesterday a spokesman for Medina said there was no offence intended.
Why not? If you can't disrepect Islam and Moslems, then what can you disrepect. Offensiveness is required in the face of such awful people, otherwise you are doomed to their level.

Medina, Minnesota
One of the wealthiest places there is. Rolling hills, nature reserves, Baker National Golf Center, lots 5 to 25 acres in size, horse country with million dollar barns, some of the most beautiful private residence architecture, just a few miles north of the sacred waters of Lake Minnetonka.
When I told a homeowner up in Medina the Yathrib story, how that town was where the 1,400 yr run of Moslem murder kicked off, he frowned and said they should change the name, but he wouldn't speak up at City Hall on that cuz he didn't want any Moslems poking around his house on the hill. Said it was bad enough to have to ride with them in a cab.
This is a satirical news-piece but it shows how easily muslims take offence at non-issues.

Leave the Medina Bar and Grill to the Scottish, and leave the sheep to the muslims. The sheep will be safe, cause the muslims don't wear kilts, and the sheep will hear the zippers.
At the risk of quibbling, the Sun's got that story wrong. The bar's in Edinburgh, not Dundee.
Don't ask me why I know.
"Hesperado, not Islamorada, but Isla Morada (Spanish: Purple Island).
Right, I was going to post that, too.
Well, one can't know everything so perhaps Hesp is unfamiliar with Spanish.
I don't know German. What is "Purple Island" in German?
"Let my British passport expire years ago. Feel like cutting it up and sending the pieces to Aunty Liz, at Buck House, Londonistan."
You SHOULD do that, Greycap. And emphasize "Londonistan." Every little bit of resistance helps.
Watch it, laddie. You'll nae be dissin' t' Scots! Once we finish our drinks (single malt, of course) we just might come lookin' fer you!
Don't knock it until you've tried it! In the long Swedish winter nights a bit of "fridskränkning" could be just the thing to keep you warm.
Sounds like "fridskränkning" wasn't the problem anyway he just went a bit too far with "aggravated fridskränkning"

You're going in the wrong etymological direction. Think Spanish: Isla Morada.
Tziona and darcy, thanks. Actually, I know some Spanish, but I've never seen a place name where the two words are fused together like that (other than "land" names like "Greenland" or "Iceland"). Are there other islands of Spanish origin whose names fuse the "Isla" with the following word?
"Dundee Islamic Society?" Isn't that an oxymoron?
Paleologos, I'm of Scottish background, too, and find your post very funny. Thanks for the laugh!
Khushi, thanks for that link about the protests between Muslim and Hindu kids over a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Although the underlying reasons for the dissension are serious, nevertheless I found myself laughing. But the report obviously needed some editing, as the following quote illustrates:
"“The poster was absolutely shocking and demeaning to us. It showed a saffron mouse kicking the ass of a green cat. Are we dumb not to understand that it was meant to demoralize Muslims? When we protested over the choice of colors, the teacher said that a student was free to use any color he wanted. The teacher is a communal Hindu. We decided to take things in our hands otherwise our self respect would have been trampled.” Abdul, a four year old kid fumed."
That's either gotta be the smartest four year old kid in the history of the world to be able to utter such a sophisticated analysis, or a reporter got slightly mixed up in who was being quoted (or what is probably more likely was projecting his/her own views and made up the quote from thin air), or the editor didn't catch this obviously problematical paragraph.
Still, it was a great story.
