[QUOTE]You’ve likely already made the connection between ginger hair and home-grown Islamic radicals yourself. Subconsciously, perhaps, from newspaper reports showing carrot-topped wannabe jihadis from Bradford, and TV clips of auburn brothers in east London. What you probably don’t know is just how vastly over-represented redheads are in the ranks of Islamist converts.
There are no surveys of jihadis, of course. The Quilliam Foundation, a counter-extremism organisation, told us that no one keeps reliable data on white converts to Islamism. So news reports probably represent the best data set available to researchers.
We sampled national newspaper coverage of white converts to radical Islam published between 5 August 2013 and 4 August 2014, excluding cases where there was no evidence of extremism or radicalisation. For example, Lucy Vallender, the ginger-haired Territorial Army private who had a sex change and became Britain’s first transgender Muslim woman, was excluded from our results.
We discovered that 76 per cent of white British converts to radical Islam had red hair. In the Daily Mail archives, 69 per cent of white Brits lured into jihadism or the orbit of an extremist preacher were ginger. The number was similar for the Mirror and the Telegraph. The Guardian yielded a full 100 per cent redhead rate for the stories we sampled.
...“Blood-nut,” “fire-truck,” “matchstick” and “tampon” are among the more printable insults levelled at ginger-headed children, according to comedian Tim Minchin. But it can be hard to sympathise with the narrative of victimhood propagated by ginger prejudice campaigners, until you recall what relentless and cruel abuse redheads are often subjected to.
...Historians take a different view: our hostility toward gingers is the product of a long and complex history of conflict with the flame-haired Celts on our borders, not least a gigantic wave of hungry Irish migrants in the 1800s, say researchers such as the late Dr Ruth Mellinkoff.
That would explain why ginger prejudice is still socially acceptable, when other forms of appearance-based bigotry aren’t: its roots are historic, not genetic.[/QUOTE]

i always thought the south park episode in like 2003 did more to hurt gingers than anything else, it perpetuated the myth that gingers are soul-less killing machines and propelled it onto an international stage, before then i had never heard any of those jokes about ginger kids or even had heard of ginger kids in general

You can tell he's up to no good
its because the gingers arent welcome in our society so they go elsewhere to fit in, even if it means mingling with the mussies

But then why be an extremist, when you martyr yourself surely you need a soul to go to heaven for your virgins.

Isn't this source website the same one that has been the center of numerous controversies about making shit up and taking things out of context?

Honestly, that guy shows up so much in news reports that I wouldn't be surprised if he is solely responsible for the figures from the article.
It's crazy how if it were any other human feature, western society would take the moral high ground and say that it's not socially acceptable to be prejudiced against it for no reason. Like I remember a few months back some redhead schoolgirl killed herself because of bullying and no one gave a shit. If it was because she was black or gay though people would of gone mad.

No one in Ireland is called "Patty" if their name is Patrick.

As amusing as the thought of gingers going into the desert to fight a jihad is, I am skeptical of this site's statistical methods.

Wouldn't said gingers immediately dry up and burn into dust the moment they stepped onto the sand?
My first thought is, well there is a lot of ginger heritage in the British isles, so you might as well be telling us that 70% of "white" british men carry the gene for red hair.
But secondly, perhaps going off the deep end here, ginger men generally get a fair bit of shit in their life, it will likely be a source of bullying and a combination of pale skin and red hair isn't very popular with the opposite sex, so perhaps they feel drawn to a religious sect that imposes control over social mores?
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;45939892]Wouldn't said gingers immediately dry up and burn into dust the moment they stepped onto the sand?[/QUOTE]Perfect for suicide bombings. Well, more of a suicide incendiary attack, 5-6 feet of white phosphorous. Problem would be keeping them contained until the moment arises.
I find it ridiculous how its socially acceptable to discriminate against gingers, even going so far to tabloids insulting them. Its no different to being racist and homophonic.
