How ironic and downright moronic. Any sane northern lad knows: Cultural Relativists relativise the violence of moslem cultures as 'relative to their moslem/mohammedan culture' (apparently fairly considerable.) Painful cringes on your behalf!)
Not at all. I was satirising your frankly disgusiting claim that you were 'fine' with Islamophobia, that you saw it in 'positive terms', and that it was merely a 'wholesale rejection of Cultural Relativism'.
So apparently Falconer is 'fine' with such Islamophobic acts as burning down mosques, burning down Islamic community centres, threatening muslim families, burning down their homes, threatening to kill muslims on a daily basis, violence against muslim women for no other reason than that they are muslim, etc. He sees them in 'positive terms' and as a 'wholesale rejection of Cultural Relativism'.
(And i've clearly said that criticising some of the more extreme of Islamist groups and their repressive practices, the Taliban etc, isn't Islamophobic)
'You have an underlying reason not to - one that you are understandably loathe to admit. Obviously you are a lost cause in terms of removing your anti-Western blinkers'.
This is just pathetic. What 'anti-Western blinkers'? I don't think muslims should be discriminated against, targeted for violent/threatening hate campaigns, therefore i'm 'anti-Western'? I occasionally speak out against U.S./U.K. military war crimes and atrocities in Afghanistan, Iraq, and several other places, therefore i'm 'anti-Western'? I point out that plenty of European states have absolutely blood soaked Imperial/Colonial histories, therefore i'm 'anti-Western'? I don't think Islam has to be 'sexist', 'backwards', 'violent', etc, therefore i'm 'anti-Western'?
I can't believe you're this bigoted and reactionary. I can't believe you've started to use the rhetoric and arguments of the far right. Seriously. But it seems you are, and have.
I don't think I have 'anti-Western blinkers'. I think you certainly have 'anti-Islam/muslims blinkers' though, and it's left you gibbering like a fascist.
