Die Londoner Zeitung “Metro” berichtet:
A racism row has broken out after villagers posed as ‘Muslim Page 3 girls’ during a carnival parade. The 17 revellers dressed in burkhas held up placards with names such as Miss Sleptwithajudgistan and Miss Hairyassisbadistan. The group calling themselves ‘The Page 3 Beauties from the Ramalama Ding Dong Times’ were ribbing plans by Prince Charles’ Duchy Estate in Cornwall to build a mosque nearby.
They entered the carnival carrying banners, and praying to Mecca on the high street at St Columb Major near Newquay. At one point the group rushed to a house shouting ‘mosque, mosque’, much to the amusement of the crowds. However, police stepped in when six students accused the group of racism.
Insp James Pearce, who let the parade continue, said: ‘As far as I was aware, they were dressed in the style of Ali Baba And The Forty Thieves.’ Carnival judges shortlisted the group to win the cup for the best entry but made a U-turn after the students complained.
One of the ‘burkha girls’ said afterwards: ‘It was ridiculous. We should be allowed to take the mickey out of whoever we want at carnival. ‘If we hadn’t been in those robes, they would have seen that two of us are not white.’ Fareed Ahmad, of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association of Devon and Cornwall, supported the decision to allow the group to parade. He said: ‘The spirit of the carnival should not be spoilt because of potential misunderstanding.’
Residents claim the mosque is unnecessary as Cornwall has only 33 practising Muslims out of a population of 22,000.
Merke: Die Muslime von Cornwall verstehen Spaß, nur die Studenten nicht. Und für Prinz Charles ist ein englisches Dort offenbar nur dann komplett, wenn es dort neben einer Biodieseltankstelle und einem homöopathischen Heilpraktiker auch eine Moschee gibt. Gar nicht auszudenken, was passiert, wenn er eines Tages Oberhaupt der Church of England wird.
