A RANGE of Lego-style fighting figures — including an al-Qaeda
terrorist and Nazi soldiers — has been slammed by religious leaders.

The masked follower of 9/11 mastermind Osama Bin Laden comes with a
rocket launcher, assault rifle and grenades. Mohammed Shaffiq, of
Muslim organisation The Ramadhan Foundation, branded the toy
“absolutely disgusting”. The £9.50 two-inch figures are customised
from Lego toys by makers BrickArms, who hope for a Christmas hit. They
also include a Nazi major, bearing the chilling SS insignia, and a
stormtrooper brandishing two grenade launchers. Edie Friedman,
director of the Jewish Council for Racial Equality, said: “These
distasteful toys are something we could all well do without,
especially when there is so much tension around.”

Yes so much tension around, as there always is in multicultural
societys.

When we were kids we had little solid plastic cowboys and indians -
and toy guns. Our games consisted (entirely) of killing all of the
indians, clearing the west for decent European folk.

they got all the party games...

dropping bombs on peasants... firing missiles at peasants...
shooting at peasants... rounding up peasants and making them
grovel at your feet etc. etc.

Apparently they couldn't make a Jewish lego figure because it kept
stealing land to build its own lego house

Maybe those responsible should go to a nice, little camp where they
can concentrate on what they have done.
