Default Year of the bleep

Thousands of years of Chinese tradition, tossed aside as to please muslims. When will the world learn, the more you bend over for islam, the harder it will push. Anyone with a 3 year old knows that if you do not set limits, they will expect you to give in over and over.

Quote:
China's ruling Communist Party has banned images and mention of pigs in TV advertisements airing over the lunar new year to avoid offending the country's Muslims, an advertising agency said on Friday.
"We were told by the CCTV (China Central Television) censorship team that the CCTV advertising department announced a new regulation on pigs in its internal document," an executive at the Shanghai-based Mindshare agency said.
The ban also applies to cartoons and traditional paper-cut images of pigs, and to slogans such as "golden pig brings you fortune" and "wish you a happy pig year", the executive said.
He said the decision was taken "in order to avoid nationality conflicts" and issued by Li Changchun, a top party propaganda official and a member of the party's elite Politburo.
"The regulation only applies to advertisements," a staff member in the CCTV advertising department said, refusing to answer further questions.
CCTV and other state broadcasters normally run dozens of popular variety shows and other special programs before and during the one-week national holiday to mark the lunar new year.
The Year of the Pig begins on February 18.
China officially has 21 million Muslims among its 1.3 billion people, about half of them from the Hui group which predominates in poor north-western areas but is spread across the country.
Some 7.5 million Uighurs, most of whom are Muslims, form the largest minority in China's Central Asian region of Xinjiang.
The Communist Party retains control over religious activity and all mosques must register with the Islamic Association.
It protected "normal religious activities" in its 1982 constitution, after all religion was forcibly suppressed during the communist fundamentalism of the 1966-1976 Cultural Revolution.
The government now gives concessions to Muslims and ethnic minorities under its "one-child" family planning policy and has recruited more officials from minorities.
Local conflicts sometimes erupt between Hui Muslims and the Han Chinese majority and are more common between Uighurs and Han in Xinjiang.

China allows Muslims? They imprison Christians, but tailor their TV to Muslims?

Who's up to moving to the moon?

Looks like it

What about accomodations for Christians?

We now know that we have to become violent to get equal rights with the minority Muslims. It works for them! (said dripping with sarcasm)

I read Revelation for the umpteenth time, and the more I read it, the more I am convinced islam IS the beast. And unless it's stopped, it WILL take over the world.

I mean, in Revelation it basically says. "Do what the beast wants, or he will kill you." fits for me well enough.
