Weapon-mention as political statement?

Thu Dec 11 05:21:23 CST 2008

 For those who do not have a copy around, I give the context quote from V: "'Yibble, yibble, yibble', he would go, squinting malevolent along the sights, 'gotyou dead center, Abdul Sayid. Yibble, yibble, Muslim pig'. Da Conho's machine gunwas the only one in the world that went yibble yibble." (Picador UK 1975, pp. 22-3). So now I ask you, Michael:  Do you really think that Vineland's mentioning of the Uzi 
is an anti-Muslim statement? Personally I do not think so. Anybody else?
