I wish it was. These guys have bombs and guns.

This is our (government’s) fault you know. They’ve kissed arse for too long and now when the “religious” spit their collective dummies out, they have nowhere to turn. The French have the right idea.

This is fantastic – the Muslims and Catholics arguing over who’s the most reasonable and rational. It’s like two bald men fighting over a comb.

Hey Martyn: just as well, if the entire Empire Strikes Back, we’d have nowhere to hide from the niff!

I was going to fart outside the house earlier, but a group of lasses wearing darth vader costumes were passing so I thought I’d better hold on to it in case it not only offended them but perhaps the entire empire!

[…] As I’m sure you’re already aware, the Pope made a speech recently and some Muslims decided to get offended. […]

🙂 Yes – I see that now Hector! Beyer Syndrome should be linked to Whitehouse Syndrome.

I also note (no doubt the monitor will add) that the Pope has actually apologised!

“The Holy Father is very sorry that some passages of his speech may have sounded offensive to the sensibilities of Muslim believers ”

Amazing what a few dudes with bombs can achieve. This is really getting out of hand: this reaction from the vatican (while predictable) is cowardly and stupid. It only lends credence their outdated ideas.

A bit like the attacks on the home of a pediatrician when the News of the World whipped up some self-righteous ire about pedophiles?

Incidentally I prefer your initial suggestion of “Beyer Syndrome” – I like the associated acronym.

See (7)- this is typical of “Whitehouse Syndrome”! Those affected take their angst out on the nearest target that appears to fit the bill, not necessarily the one that caused the perceived offence.

I feel a wikipedia entry coming on.

Muslims in the West Bank have firebombed two churches in Nablus. Problem was, the idiots firebombed an Anglican church and an Orthodox church, and not a Catholic church.

Actually, as I understand it most of the speech was an attack of science and secularism. Where are the front page photos of secularists protesting, burning effigies, demanding apologies, etc?
