"A MUSLIMS-only day at Britain’s biggest theme park has been axed after a huge bookings flop."

I wonder if those 1000 will now feel lied to and cheated, and how many of the rest will show up to the protest..

This story reminds me of that banal slogan from the '60s, "Suppose they gave a war, and nobody came."

I guess someone forgot to tell the ummah that having a good time doesn't only consist of engaging in da'wa or waging jihad.

Western Resistance has a more detailed account of this.

Imagine the swirling charges of racism if there had been a Christians-only day.

Wow, JCsupercop, that would be pretty expensive for a guy on welfare to pay for his four wives and forty children.

I'm glad the woman gets her wedding.

I would boycott the place forever.

Exactly what happened when a fun park in my city hosted an eid special. There were no muslims. And the Hindus are boycotting the park so far. They are begging the people to come. Well, it's been a long time, think I'll check in this Friendship Day.

Posted by: arjun.sevak at August 2, 2006 8:57 AM

I wonder if the 1,000 will "vow revenge" for the insult of having their day cancelled.

Know Your Enemy-

"Imagine the swirling charges of racism if there had been a Christians-only day."

I believe that Alton Towers were questioned on that proposition. Their defense consisted of the fact that they were a private company and were entitled to hire their facilities to whomsoever had the money and desire to pay for them. Of course, they're right in that respect; It's the basis of commerce. But we all know that if there >were

Could it be that there are many many people out there who are born muslim and don't want that sharia / veil / halal stuff?

The Muslim Day in this leisure park might have reveiled just that.

Bugger!.....Half my post lost in the ether!

....But we all know that if there were a request for a "Christians only" day, the various and nefarious Muslim empowerment machines would have gone into collective apoplexy.

(I know what I did now, sorry about this folks)

Posted by: Wishbone at August 2, 2006 9:32 AM

With luck (please God!) the flops will get even bigger for Alton Towers very soon now. I, for one, will never take my family anywhere near the place, and I fervently hope that everyone else with any sense will feel the same way.

If there is any justice Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Rastafarians, Secularists/Agnostics, and the whole damn lot of us out here will simply choose to spend our cash at a rival establishment. Anywhere, in fact, apart from there.

Too funny. The thread header had me thinking of that line from A League Of Their Own when Tom Hanks says "There's no crying in baseball!"

There's no fun in Islam. Except when they celebrate 9/11, 7/11 and other days when lots of Infidels are killed or wounded.

Rod Liddle had a very funny article about this "Muslim fun day" at Alton towers in the Spectator a couple of weeks ago. Its worth a read.

Yep, just like the "Danish cartoon jihad," we can now look forward to the "theme park jihad," in which rioting Muslim mobs burn Mickey Mouse in effigy, and carry signs portraying Walt Disney with a Hitler moustache.

Maybe that's the answer: With all their oil wealth, Muslims should just build their own Islamist theme park. They could have OsamaLand, which the guests get to fly simulated planes into skyscrapers. And ZionistLand, in which guests get to hide toy bombs in fake restaurants and malls and dare the "Infidel guards" (theme park hosts) to try to find them. And as dusk approaches, all the guests get together to sing folk songs like "Jihad, Jihad, Death To The West" while watching a fireworks display.

Posted by: Steven L. at August 2, 2006 1:10 PM

Maybe they should have advertised a public stoning or maybe a beheading.

That would have swelled the ranks of the fun loving....

Steven L,

Good one!

I bet if you pitched your "Osamaland" or "Jihadland" Theme Park idea in the right rich oil sheiks they would love it. The sad part is that given what I know now about the "Religion of Peace", the whole silly idea of an Islamist theme park celebrating martyrdom and the slaughter of Infidels doesn't seem so farfetched.

Posted by: Proud Infidel at August 2, 2006 4:06 PM

Ahhh... you folks have obviously never heard of Fantazy Land, an Egyptian theme park which puts all others to shame.

Posted by: ambisinistral at August 2, 2006 4:35 PM

The Shi'ites are afraid that the Sunnis will plant bombs, and the Sunnis are afraid that the Shi'ites will plant bombs. They're both afraid that the Lutherans will plant bombs.

Posted by: Pelayo at August 2, 2006 5:12 PM

Fantazy Land - Based on most pictures I've seen from the lands of Arabic Islam, this place looks all spruced up for opening day.

Dubai (Dubya's good buddies, you know those "good Muslims" to whom he has entrusted port operations and security) have invested billions of our money, in their supposed future. Knowing that the oil will run out in a few years, they have built a "fun park" called Wild Wadi (it's only customers so far have been "The Great Race" contestants.. They have also built elaborate islands, hotels, condo's, etc on the Gulf, and carved an elaborate canal out of the sand..all of it featured a number of times on Discovery Channel.

With all of that investment, the only customers they have so far is Michael Jackson, who now lives there secure in his Abaya/Chador and some of the insanely wealthy, British rock "stars" and others who have more money than they know what to do with.. I guess they can buy anything they want in Dubai, from little boys to little girls.

"Muslim Fun Day"

Oh the dizzying possibilities...

Posted by: alexon at August 3, 2006 1:18 AM

I checked out the link for Egypt's Fantazland.

I wasn't impressed.

It is definitely not an amusement park that I would take a child to visit.

Looks like they have turned the water exhibit into a cess pool of garbage.

Bet those rides aren't too safe.

ambisinistral,
Thanks for the link to Fantazyland...the place where all carny rides go to die!

But there is fun in Islam.

610 * 623 * 732* 1066* 1215 * 1504 * 1526 * 1683 * 1928 * 1938 * 1948 * 1996 * 2001

Each time we sleep with a young virgin we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal; the sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each Moslem will marry seventy young virgins, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetizing vaginas.
--- Al-Suyuti revered Moslem commentator on the Koran and Sunnah, at about 1500 AD

610 * 623 * 732* 1066* 1215 * 1504 * 1526 * 1683 * 1928 * 1938 * 1948 * 1996 * 2001

There is in Paradise a market wherein there will be no buying or selling, but will consist of men and women. When a man desires a beauty, he will have intercourse with them.
--- Mohammed promising hot post-mortem sex to the Companions

610 * 623 * 732* 1066* 1215 * 1453 * 1504 * 1683 * 1928 * 1938 * 1948 * 1996 * 2001

There is no humor in Islam.
--- The revered Shiite kidnapper Ayatollah Khomeini

610 * 623 * 732* 1066* 1215 * 1453 * 1504 * 1683 * 1928 * 1938 * 1948 * 1996 * 2001

Islam may not be funny, but it’s fun. Booze. Thrones. Succulent buffets. Questioning eyes. Piles of virgins. Perpetual erections. Appetizing vaginas. You get the whole 9 yards with your Islam.

But how does one get elected? Can I get elected into this post-mortem swingers club by answering the call to Islam?

Maybe Hooper can do an essay in here on that questoin.
