  1. I don't think it at all extremist to compare women wearing these outfits to letterboxes. On the other hand it IS extremist to cut the throats or blow to smithereens anyone who might offend you by doing so. Islamists and their apologists need to get a sense of proportion and realise that many people in this country regard this religion as somewhat sinister and somewhat absurd. Learn to live with it.

  2. I agree. Fundamentalist Islam is as close to fascism as we have been for a long time.

  3.  @aidanknox122  It's a question of degree, isn't it? Shutting down IVF clinics doesn't really compare with constant rocket attacks on civilians, for example. And Israel is neither religious nor ethno-centric. These sort of people are very much in the minority, whereas they are the majority in many Muslim countries - or at least under the thumbs of their religious leaders so much that it appears so. I find Khan deeply offensive on many counts. He has certainly had contact with extreme Islamists and his brand of Socialism combines the very worst of far-left ideology with the idiocy of wokeness. As for LGBTQ rights my personal jury is out on that one. He might be sincere but on the other hand his support could be purely strategic.

  4.  @aidanknox122  You make some interesting points. I maintain there is a considerable difference between Christian extremism and Muslim extremism. The first is concerned with maintaining what its proponents believe to be God's will on Earth while the second, although acknowledging this principle, is also very much concerned with preparing its adherents for death. This used to be the case with Christianity too but following the Enlightenment it is something which has very much taken second place and really only persists in more intense RC circles. It is an insidious obsession in my view. If religion has any function at all it is to provide comfort for the living. Structuring behaviour around the idea of qualifying for entry into a probably fictitious Paradise is a procedure fraught with danger. As is the case in the Muslim world - though no longer in the Christian one -it allows psychopathic individuals to exercise control over the fearful and manipulate their congregations to fulfil their own political objectives which, paradoxically enough, are generally concerned with gaining power on Earth. Suicide bombers and Hamas soldiers really do genuinely believe that when they are killed they will go immediately to Paradise which, for many of them, appears to be no more than an opportunity to indulge in adolescent fantasies for all infinity. Evangelical Christians have no such credo. They wish to impose their will on the rest of us, certainly, but those of them who arm themselves do so merely as a defensive measure. Nutjobs wielding automatic weapons are a far cry from nation states providing billions of $$ of rockets and bombs in order to bring about the Caliphate. As for Woke; I know what it is, but I find it hard to define. I think it is probably a kind of awful self-satisfaction which awfully self-righteous people have in imposing their wishy-washy views on the rest of us. It's about cancel culture and enforced pronouns, micro-aggressions and safe spaces and other such nonsense. It really gets on my goat - so it must exist!

  5.  @aidanknox122  You make some interesting points and I have tried to post a reply in response. Unfortunately YouTube's new ultra-fascist algorithm has decided that my heresies are not fit for public consumption and so, being Woke as well as pro-Muslim, it has deleted it. I would I think enjoy having a conversation with you but in the current climate of censorship and mind-control it seems this will sadly be impossible.

  6. @GreenGrenouille Fascism is a word hard to define -but a totalitarian society governed by a sinister creed which calls for the extinction of all those who do not adhere to it just about fits the bill.

  7. @GreenGrenouille The two are very similar, don't you think?
