The corrosive influence of 'multiculturalism', group identity politics, so-called hate-crime laws etc has hindered criticism and opposition to such things, by giving 'left cover'.<BR/><BR/>But I would still stress that the real problem is the cancer of growing state power.Trooper Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505221473081871071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357620132379563790.post-13033777463477807142009-03-18T11:42:00.000+00:002009-03-18T11:42:00.000+00:00I think the protection of the law should also exte...I think the protection of the law should also extend to people born into Muslim families in this country. The last few years of being feted in the media and unchallenged in the streets has made matters worse, I'm keen to see both change.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your hospitality, TT.Peter Risdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17792275403997179926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357620132379563790.post-34498603348457526942009-03-17T20:34:00.000+00:002009-03-17T20:34:00.000+00:00Thanks for dropping by, by the way!

By buying off groups the government stays in power without being supported. Government courting of Muslim extremists, which has started up again under Brown, is a way of buying votes from Mosques, where MPs go in the build up to elections to discuss what those votes will buy. The encouragement of postal voting in the last two elections was a part of this strategy, because ballots could be taken from women and delivered as part of the deal.<BR/><BR/>Other sections in society are bought in other ways, usually by being offered directly or in kind other people's money.<BR/><BR/>Even if these two things were not connected, government tyranny and islamofascism, it would be possible to attack both. But they are related. It's actually <I>necessary</I> to attack both.Peter Risdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17792275403997179926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357620132379563790.post-85608074881260748572009-03-17T00:35:00.000+00:002009-03-17T00:35:00.000+00:00While you rale against the islamo-fascists, the st...While you rale against the islamo-fascists, the state is nicking what's left of our freedom, and you're giving them cover.Trooper Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505221473081871071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357620132379563790.post-50541798793888103462009-03-16T08:21:00.000+00:002009-03-16T08:21:00.000+00:00I think you've missed the point.
