Here you go Mr Kilroy-Silk, you can sit right here next to Mr Littlejohn. IN HELL.

Erm well, weren't the first civilisations thought to originate from Arab lands?

Anyway, Kilroy was an idiot before this, but you have to wonder how many people would agree with him that don't voice their thoughts, because I'll guarantee he isn't alone.

the man is a pretentious, outdated buffoon.

not to mention a hypocrite. he sits on the moral highground in judgement of all before him, yet he has a son he abandoned and never sees.

he's clearly a patronising snob and should be removed from public forums as soon as possible.

Cymbals.

Though it did have a little symbol think to go around your belly button.

Wild camels

I had never thought of it

'Symbols' or 'cymbals'?

I'm not being pedantic, it's just that each one conjures up an entirely different image and I can't decide which one I prefer ...

I got the exact same thing.

"He wrote that they had contributed nothing to Western society and the West 'owed them nothing'"

Every single British person has middle-eastern blood in them. Arab technology was always far ahead of Europes, and obviously now it is the other way around, stuff like this happens. Total idiot.

I got a belly dancing kit for Xmas. It had tiny little finger symbols in it.

Yes, idiot, hmm, belly dancing…

Haven't read the column and therefore can’t comment on the “violent” bits he has written.

What an idiot; they've given us Camels and Belly dancing. Though not belly dancing camels.
