Default Arab Forum poll

It's a trick question. Can you guess what all these poll options have in common?

http://www.alqassam.ps/vb3/showthread.php?t=1799

heh heh...for an extremist forum, they are actually quite civil. None of my posts have been edited or distorted, and they actually seem to speak English there pretty well.

here is the link to their main forums if anyone wants to join - http://www.alqassam.ps/vb3/ -

Default I posted there and was edited

what was funny is that the phrase edited was "a picture of Osama sitting on a pig."

That doesnt count though. You were deliberately trying to be offensive. It would be like someone posting random profanity in this forum...the moderators here would never allow that either.

Default since when

is the word "pig" considered profanity? I missed that proclomation. Also for context it was in the political cartoon section. They had a picture of a Muslim pissing on the White House (and the word (*)(*)(*)(*) appeared) and I had a picture of Osama sitting on a pig with a phrase about him being Satan, but my picture is "vulgar" and contained "profanity."

In their culture it is analogous to saying shіt. Especially in that context.

I never heard that one before. I guess I missed that translation in my Middle Eastern travels. Ironic since they used the word (*)(*)(*)(*).

How is it ironic? Some words they are offended by. Some words they arent. It isnt any secret that pigs are considered really bad things in Arab Muslim culture.

So if i told them I ate a pound a bacon a day for Breakfast, they consider it a disgusting insult? I wonder what they would say if I told them I had sex with a Jewish girl. Then again I'm Catholic anyways so I'm already a evil "pig" lol.

No, you were just wrong. Pig is not the same as that word.

And abortions are considered bad to Christians, but it's not a curse word or a vulgar word. It is an insult to call someone a pig, similar to puta in Spanish, but to use it in a sentence is not the same as cursing. The irony is that they're "offended" by a renown terrorist riding a pig, but pissing on anything (another culture's icon in particular) for that matter is fine. They aren't balanced, they should at least admit that.

Sounds about right from my limited experience. Anytime I want to annoy a workmate of mine who is a paki-american and practicing muslim... I just use the 'P' word during lunch
The closest reaction I've seen westerners have is similar to serving dogmeat to a pet dog owner.
