Labour loves you if you're Muslim, but mocks you if you're Catholic
I trust you’ve noticed the fundamental inconsistency in Labour’s opportunistic celebration of Islam and its parading of its new candidate, a Maltese Muslim convert (I remember him at university – he took a couple of anthropology courses with me and was a total pain in the rear end, as all converts are, including born-again Christians).
To be a Muslim is OK and something to be celebrated. To be a Roman Catholic is grounds for disparagement because it means that you can’t separate your politics from your religion, so boo and hiss to you.
Labour’s Muslim candidate is feted. Labour’s Roman Catholic MPs are hounded and considered embarrassing.
To be Muslim is cool and hip. To be Roman Catholic is to be tal-moffa and tan-nannijiet.
So liberal. They’d better read up on the subject.

“Labour’s Muslim candidate is feted. Labour’s Roman Catholic MPs are hounded and considered embarrassing.”
You are so right.
What is even more telling is that in their race to appease the Muslim vote by blatant anti-clerical sentiment and Christian-bashing they forgot about the many hundreds of other infidel voters who are neither Christian nor Muslim but are atheists, Jews, Hindi etc.
Will Joey’s PL be hosting a reception next Thursday on Victory Day, one of Malta’s most beloved traditional feast days?

He is anyone’s so long as there is a chance he can get a vote.
Bet he will soon be sending invitations to black masses to get the Satanists’ vote and celebrating Richard Dawkins’ birthday to get the atheists’.

Watching ‘Runaway Jury’ at the moment. Think we have a ‘Runaway Labour’. Confused, f*cked up, running scared, (and in circles). Wait until their agreements with Ghaddafi come to light. What a bunch of incompetents.

I think the Gay community group should start organising jogging sessions as well as gym outings…quite a number of us are in need
[Daphne – Gay jogging sessions? For God’s sake, can’t gay men jog with everyone else? Do people like Cyrus think the rest of us are diseased, or something?]
Segregating gays while they jog – what next.
Cyrus wants to rope in Natius and Joseph.
I saw the Great Leader distributing silver-plated placards to three of Lifecycle’s participants at the PL HQ.
Some observations:-
This photo session cost the party some 100 Euro, donating that sum would have been ridiculous.
Joseph wants to ‘look busy’, he doesn’t have time to go to people and so he comes down from his office wearing a short sleeved shirt, poses for the photo opportunity and off the squeezed lemons go.
The inscription:
PL Logo
Lil (name)
B’tifkira tal-partecipazzjoni tieghek
fil-Betfair Lifecycle Challenge 2011
mill-Onor Kap tal-Oppozizzjoni
Dr Joseph Muscat
1 ta’ Settembru 2011
So patronising! Why would these cyclists need a ’tifkira’ , let alone from the PL leader?
“Where’s the donation?”
“Haven’t we met him already?”
“I think he wanted a photo with Ian Castaldi Paris.”
There were 23 participants and a back -up team of 15 people.

I think I saw Anglu presenting that placard in the US of A to some Maltese association.
Visions of men in tight pink outfits and white socks up to their knees bouncing down the coast road.
What’s wrong with the rest of us then? Aren’t we allowed?

Min jaf kemm qed jiehu gost bih Joe Cuschieri, dak li spicca minghajr is-siggu li kellu min dan l -stess distrett, ghax ic-cuc tah lil Joe Muscat.

Ma nasal qatt biex nifhem kif nies bhal Cyrus ma jisthux jidhru quddiem nies.

Worse still, Mr Muscat has declared (while celebrating the Iftar activity) that the Labour Party is a secular party within a predominantly Christian society even thought ‘the majority of its members are Catholic’.
Being secular also means distancing yourself from any form of religious involvement and not organizing religious activities like the PL did.
Your article confirms what I have been thinking.
The PL has given its backside, to say the least, to the Catholic Church while PL exponents fill TV screens during the ‘Min nicca l-barra’ programme talking about saints and fireworks.
Watch these Super One shows and you’ll really understand how Labour is fundamentally inconsistent and opportunistic.
I.M. Beck’s opinion piece in today’s Times is spot on. What a difference from the mediocre but shameful Wikileaks reportage in The Times, by anti-Nationalist former Malta Today man Kurt Sansone.
