Muslims sans frontieres

Are you offended by that headline? If you are, you are probably an editor of Medialens. Or maybe you think "Muslims sans frontieres" doesn't scan like "Jews sans frontieres" or that "Muslims sans frontieres" isn't a pun on "Jeux sans frontieres." I noticed I was getting hits from the Medialens message board and when I tracked back there was someone posting a link to this blog with the opening lines of a post. I think it must be a bloglet thing. That notifies subscribers when a blog has been updated. Well the chap who kept doing was told off by the editors thus:

Frankly, we find the name of the blog offensive and believe it is likely to alienate quite a few people visiting our site. Imagine 'Muslims Sans Frontieres'... It's ugly.

It's ugly? It trips off the tongue. It scans as I said. Fortunately someone who enjoys this blog posts to the Medialens message board

It is in no way offensive. It's a joke Eds! Remember Jeux Sans Frontier aka Its a Knockout?

It is a superb blog, specifically Jewish and written by Mark Elf a Jewish anti-zionist who goes out of his way to attack anti-semitism whenever he can.

Ahh that was nice wasn't it. Well not nice enough for the "Eds".

Fair enough. We got the joke and we weren't commenting on the blog itself (which we know nothing about). In isolation, without visiting the site, the name could be misinterpreted.

So, they got the joke. So what was all that nonsense about "Muslims sans frontieres"? What's the joke there? And they know nothing about my blog itself. I don't know how many Eds there are at Medialens but how long could it take just one of them to take a peek and see for themselves who might be offended by it or why?
