First you need this:
Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins
Bin Laden has won, in airports of the world every day. I had a little jar of honey, now thrown away by rule-bound dundridges. STUPID waste.
The tragedy!!!!!
Wait, some dismal pedant might object, what about starvation in Somalia and malnutrition in Bangladesh? Is it really worth an all-caps STUPID for a little jar of honey? When if it’s really that important you can always just check the bag?
IT’S A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE!!!!!!
Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins
Do you idiots seriously think I give a damn about my stupid honey? It’s the PRINCIPLE I care about. Get it? Principle, not honey, principle.
Vanilla Rose @MsVanillaRose
@RichardDawkins Oh. And@rebeccawatson not wanting creeps hitting on her in lifts is *not* a matter of PRINCIPLE?#DoubleStandards
Now you need Doubting Tom’s Dear Muslimo. You have to go there to read the whole thing because it’s only right, but here’s how it ends:
But stop whining, will you. Think of the suffering your poor British brothers have to put up with.
Only this week I heard of one, he calls himself “Richard Dawkins,” and do you know what happened to him? A TSA security agent took away his jar of honey. I am not exaggerating. He really did. He took his jar of honey. Of course he protested, and of course he knew the preexisting security rules, but even so . . .
And you, Muslimo, think you have inconvenience, intrusion, and harassment to complain about! For goodness sake grow up, or at least grow a thicker skin.
Tom
Oh my stupid honeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey.
