Do any of you ever go out into the real world, ever? The things that people conveniently get offended over on here is just incredible. I swear, most of you would have a breakdown if you spent a day working on a building site.

It is not a building site, it is national television.

That is why it is unacceptable. What people do in the privacy of their homes is their business. The BB house is not a private home.

Dear Daily Mail...


I'm out, enjoy your fake outrage.

Just an idea - ask an actual Muslim if they were offended. They would just laugh at you. They would probably find people getting offended on their behalf to be more offensive.

Ask a Muslim or anyone else from the Middle East are they hiding a bomb under their clothing.

Come back and let us know what the response was.

Yea cos thats the same isnt it? Honestly. People on here could cause an argument in an airing cupboard.

Getting offended on behalf of other people is offensive in itself. You're all just cheapening the real issues so that you can use big words and get all haughty over something on the internet.

I'm not getting offended on anyone's behalf, I'm responding to your claim that Muslims wouldn't be offended by the connotation that their race/religion/clothing makes them a terrorist.

YOU commented about the reaction of Muslims to such a joke and I responded.

And what makes you a spokesperson for the Muslim community? Getting offended on their behalf is exactly what you're doing.

Perhaps you shouldn't speak for them either, then? Just an idea.
