Another reason is Hate speech laws. No way would Western Europe have blasphemy laws if it wasn't for immigration. The other day in the UK a politician had a man arrested for calling her a Nazi even though she was calling him and other protesters far right which is essentially the same thing.


When they can't use indoctrination or rational arguments to silence dissent, full-fledged censorship seems to be the only thing they can come up with.

Muslims wouldn't like rational arguments and would kill people.

That Pakistani Christian woman was denied Asylum in the UK because it would upset the Muslims.

It's not Muslims who are responsible for most of the censorship.

It's our own "democratic" "leaders" who are making it impossible to express our opinions if they stray too far from a narrow range of approved opinions, not Muslim immigrants.

Yeah but they use Muslims as the justification. The fact that the majority of people don't know Muhammad was a slave owning warlord serial rapist who married a child and that Muslims believe him to be morally perfect just shows how protected Islam is. The BBC has done loads of negative documentaries on Scientology there might be a few thousand of them in the UK, Whilst there are millions of Muslims yet you really hear any actual criticism of the ideology in the media.

And they're use a different excuse if there weren't any Muslims.

So I'm not sure what's your point.

The majority of people don't know that the Christian bible is full of genocidal massacres either.

What's your point?

You don't expect the BBC to be anything but an tool of the rule elite used to indoctrinate us, do you?

They also use it to stop politically censor people it but Muslims seem to be more protected.

Most people do know the Bible is full of genocide most Christians believe the Bible was inspired by God so they pick and choose, the greatest loophole in History. Muslims believe the Quran is the perfect word of God narrated by him to his morally perfect prophet.

Muslim immigrants are but one of several protected groups.

I don't see much of a difference, really, between the atrocities in the Torah, the Christian Bible or the Qur'an, and the way "believers" justify their own cognitive dissonance when they call their religion "tolerant" or "a religion of peace".

One is a guide to how to live.

The other is a set of instructions that are believed to be perfect.

Christianity evolved because it could, Islam cannot evolve.

Among all three major Abrahamic branches, you'll find people who take their religious books very literally (including some of the more disturbing bits) and people who have a more "progressive" interpretation.

Just compare Saudi Wahhabism with Iranian Shiitism.

Just compare Haredi Judaism with reform Judaism.

Just compare Christian fundamentalist, Creationist evangelicals with post Second Vatican Council Catholics.

Yes Christianity can be taken literally but Islam can only be taken literally.

Orthodox Jews would say the same applies to Yahweh.

Fundamentalist Christians would say the same applies to the Christian God.

Liberal Muslims would say that Allah does allow interpretation.

As I stated before : you find literal interpretations & "progressive" interpretations among believers of all three main Abrahamic branches.

You can't just single out Islam here.

Where have I mentioned superiority?


She's probably just projecting.

In my experience, "anti-racists" often have a superiority complex towards not just "racists" but also members of other races... for which they feel ashamed... resulting in them using political "anti-racism" to compensate for it.

And because of that they can't grasp how anyone else could reject multiculturalism or support ethnonationalism for any other reason than a superiority complex.
