boyfriday   21 #25 Posted November 4, 2010 Muslims asked not to support troops by wearing Poppies,  http://theislamicstandard.wordpress.com/2010/11/02/muslims-asked-not-to-support-troops-by-wearing-poppies/  Asked by who exactly and how many will respond to the request? It has about as much credibility as David Icke claiming to be the son of god. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

happyhippy   11 #28 Posted November 5, 2010 With a link from 2009 it's no wonder you're yawning, same old poppy day knocking threads pop up every year, ...yawn  Once again, someone disagrees with our resident insult hurler, and so he resorts to ignoring the case in point.  Pathetic.  Jon Snow is right to wear a poppy when he chooses within the time it is accepted to do so. I give to the Legion, but I see no reason why I should have to wear a poppy to show my thanks.  More to the point, it's absolutely nobody else's business as to whether I have or not donated. It's as simple as that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
happyhippy   11 #29 Posted November 5, 2010 Poppy day will be banned soon enough for fear of offending those who we have gone to war with. Don't mention the Germans and god forbid we might offend our asian communities and their anti war pro terrorist clerics. Peace  Do you mean Armistice Day or Remembrance Sunday? I'm not aware of "Poppy Day", so as such I'm not sure how such a day could upset our Teutonic friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Seems like the only one who is pathetic is you, you seem to think you "have" to wear a poppy to show respect.  Every year we get threads like this one that turns into threads like this, wonder why boyfriday brought it up.
