Prosser prosses off Muslim community

The Bellend of the Month for February 2013 is Richard Prosser. He is an MP for the political party New Zealand First, and his Swiss Army knife was confiscated at Christchurch Airport. But he picked the wrong place to let off the excess steam - a column he writes for Investigate. In this month's issue, he wrote that anyone who was Muslim, looked Muslim, or came from a Muslim nation should not be allowed to fly on Western airlines. He had also referred to Muslims as "a sorry pack of misogynist troglodytes from Wogistan" and referred to Islam as a stone-age religion. I can think of several things wrong with his statements:
  • There is more to Islam than just sorry packs of misogynist troglodytes from Wogistan.
  • There is no such place as Wogistan. That's only a term Prosser made up to indirectly refer to Arabs as wogs.
  • Islam cannot technically be a stone-age religion. It is actually one of the newer Abrahamic religions, having only started in 622 CE with Muhammad emigrating from Mecca to Medina. In fact, even Judaism, despite pre-dating Christianity, wasn't around in the Stone Age.
  • Banning Muslims from flying won't solve the problem. Not all Muslims are terrorists, and not all terrorists are Muslims.
So with that in mind, I think Prosser should leave New Zealand and go back to his sorry pack of Islamophobic troglodytes from Bigotania. If you want to see the column, it's at the end of this here preview:
