Here is an interesting one. This is some riposte to those (Gardener, Grant please note) who claim that:
They (Islamists) have hoodwinked them (liberals) into thinking that criticism of their totalitarian political agenda is an act of racism, and the British left have all but fallen all over themselves to march in lockstep, adopting the Islamist world perspective as their world perspective, adopting Islamist hatreds as their hatreds...

BBC News - Three more charged with stirring up homophobic hatred

The police, CPS and LGBT organisations are not bowing to the Islamist agenda. I await any evidence that any left or liberal political parties or pressure groups are organising on behalf of the Islamists who have been distributing this vile literature.

Have you talked about it with George Galloway or Ken Livingstone yet?

Good luck with that.

No, but I was referring to mainstream Leftist opinion, so that rules out Gorgeous George. Ken, I am completely confident, will be supporting the moves to defend LGBT people, as he always has.

This is the same Ken who wines and dines radical clerics who support killing homosexuals? that Ken?

But mainstream leftist opinion you want. O.k.

Can you find any mainstream leftist Brits in this thread who even dare criticize ingrained homophobia? All I see is defense.

Can you find any mainstream leftist Brits in this thread who even hint at support for any expression of homophobia, irrespective of the source?

Besides all those vigorously defending the homophobia?
 
Oh, and anda, old chap -- if you are going to quote me, might I possibly request of you to not alter it in such a way as to indicate something I did not say?

I have never said Islamists have hoodwinked LIBERALS. True liberals have not been hoodwinked. It is the dogmatic, illiberal portion of the left that has been hoodwinked.

I apologise. You were not referring to all liberals, you were referring to all of the British Left - not just "the dogmatic, illiberal portion of the left", as you claim here. This is precisely what you said, in full:
What has happened is that the Islamists have pulled the scam of the century on the British left. They have hoodwinked them into thinking that criticism of their totalitarian political agenda is an act of racism, and the British left have all but fallen all over themselves to march in lockstep, adopting the Islamist world perspective as their world perspective, adopting Islamist hatreds as their hatreds and allowing them to form seperate societies within the U.K. that are treated with such kid gloves as to cross the line that separates tolerance from aiding and abetting. The double talk offered by way of denying the fact Britain has become such an undeniable hotbed of Islamist terrorism is just like the rest of their doubkle talk in that they are trying to distract away from their responsibility for helping make it so.
 
Couldn't put it better myself:


Muslims can publicly shout out in the streets that “UK soldiers should burn in Hell,” “The Queen must convert to Islam or die,” and “The UK government must be overthrown and replaced by Shari’a Law” and nobody says a word. But make one homophobic slur, and all Hell breaks loose.

(Though the 'slur' in this particular case was calling for homos to be punished by DEATH, as-per orthodox Islamic Sharia Law.)

SHOCKER! UK finally finds something on which to charge Muslims with hate speech « Bare Naked Islam's Weblog


Took long enough. But the likes of the EHRC were damn quick to back militant gays against the Christian bed and breakfast owners' marrieds-only policy on their bedrooms, or the Christian adoption agencies for refusing gay adoptors on the grounds that such artificial families were un-natural.

Still, at least the ball's rolling for the real homophobia it seems. Now for a wider crackdown on that, as well as the vicious Islamic antisemitism while they're at it.

Yep, that's what I said.



...and should the British left decide to adopt liberalism as its guiding principle at some point in the future, such a statement will be unnecessary.
 
the dogmatic, illiberal portion of the left.

Yep, that's the British left, exceptions prove the rule.

I wonder why the UK needs a separate law for threatening people and what the penalty for breaking it is.

This was covered in another thread recently. Personally I don't believe that we do need separate laws for "hate speech" there are plenty of laws covering it. Certain groups in the UK have had long standing separate legislation to cover "hate speech" and the government gave in to pressure from other groups to equalise the law. They should have equalised the law by removing the group specific "hate speech" legislation not adding other groups under its protection!

I agree with the first part of your conclusion, don't believe we need laws for hatespeech either. I just think that threatening people, by calling for their heads one way or another, goes beyond hatespeech. A few hrs of community service doesn't cut it imo.
 
MUSLIMS REAP THE HATE ISLAM SOWS!

In America, Establishment Islamists wallow in self-pity after militant gay graffitti is found daubed on a mosque: MISSOURI: CAIR demands graffiti on mosque be declared a hate crime « Bare Naked Islam's Weblog

'You bash us in Pakistan, we bash you here'. Quite!


Worshippers should count themselves damn lucky it was only that. Though that does remind me of my own posting describing homosexual run-ins with Muslims:
http://www.debatepolitics.com/europe/66924-labours-rainbow-minority-darlings-fall-out.html

Though it's funny how Leftards go quiet on that when they pontificate about discrimination. Indeed, this current case is a rare novelty for them, with the focus normally on ordinary bigoted whites.
