A Channel Islands-based organisation, the Jersey International Honourable Association of Daleks (JIHAD) has reacted strongly to a request from the National passport Office that member Daleks remove their lids prior to having their photographs taken for passports.
Speaking at a press conference, Davros, President of JIHAD, said his organisation is considering legal action against the Passport Office.
He said: "The press have always been prejudiced towards members of our association, But to ask us to remove our lids - well this is wholly unacceptable.
"But more importantly, I am especially concerned that the press are now comparing Burka-clad middle and far eastern humans, with their all-black garb and eye-slits, to Daleks.
"This is a slur I'm afraid my members and I will not tolerate.
"And the fact that these human imposters have been strapping armaments to their backs and entering tube stations and buses shouting "Exterminate, exterminate" is something we will not put up with. Besides, Daleks use a more sophisticated death-ray alongside that strange sink-plunger on the end of their other metal stalk to create their mayhem. And we all practice what we preach, rather than send lesser functioning or younger members of the Dalek community to the front line.
"Daleks are peace-loving and grotesquely mutated organisms from the planet Skaro, who may, through the impression given by television programmes such as Dr Who, appear to have little to no individual personality, no emotions other than hatred and fear, and a strict command structure, conditioned to obey superior orders without reasoning why.
"Their speech maybe characterised by repeated phrases, and by orders given to themselves and to others, and yes, Dalek vocal inflection may sometimes suggests perpetual anger, sometimes verging on hysteria. In terms of their behaviour, Daleks seem to be extremely aggressive, and driven by an instinct to attack.
"Yet to compare us to human Burka-beings is unacceptable, even though having re-read what I have just written, the similarities indeed seem perhaps alarming and frightening.
"I would report this to Ban Ki-moon of the UN, but seeing as he's done bugger all for Zimbabwe, Burma or Darfur, I'm not going to waste my time."
Abu Hook Hansa is mad.
