Surely this is racism

[gigz]

On the sh*t jokes forum. There's a joke on page 16 that mentions God, Christ and St Peter. But when it mentions mo ham med its not allowed Why is this ? Surely racism by DIYNOT.[/b]

Religion isn't a race!


Joking apart, and I haven't seen the joke, I would guess that the comments about God, Christ, St Pete don't break any blasphemous rules, but the comments about Mohammed do.

I despair

I saw this in a book shop recently and although I am not religious myself, I can understand how someone who is, could be offended by it.

Obviously it is an offence to mock any religion apart from Christianity.

what you're saying is it's ok to make Christian jokes, as long as no one makes a joke about mohammad

It can't be; it's not censored by DIYNot.
