Nice one, Brum!

Some idiot on Fox News in the US went on record as saying that Birmingham is a no-go city to non-Muslims.  Perhaps nothing better demonstrates the basic difference of approach between Muslims and the rest of us than the way Brummies have reacted - not with anger and outrage and thoughts of revenge, but with laughter and humour. They have taken to the social network sites in their droves to take the piss - not out of Fox or Islam - but out of themselves.  The pop group Duran Duran becomes Quran Quran, the BT tower becomes the minaret of the City Mosque, and the city will change its name to Birming - dropping the "ham", and so on. That's the way to do it!
