      These far right roots are rioting because of bullshit. The murderer wasn’t Muslim but the fascists still used that fake pretext to stir up trouble.

        Yes, I’ve heard about what happened and you’re absolutely right. That event and that hate group sparked those riots based on misinformation. And no, all Muslims shouldn’t be demonized and protested against. If anything, it’s only going to worsen the situation.

        I was just stating the facts about the reality in France and the UK regarding the issues they’re been facing with radicalized Islamists that have been growing in numbers and causing violent agressions and terrorist attacks. It’s a real issue.

      There were neighborhoods in cities in both of these countries that if you’re a non Muslim or if you don’t follow the strict rules like women wearing headscarves, you get harassed and attacked.

      No there isn’t. This is just daily mail nonsense.

      This was absolutely born out of of racism and propaganda. The guy who did it is from Wales. They rioted because they were told he was an immigrant.

      And yes there are bad parts in any city that harass women. That’s why they prefer the bear. It has nothing to do with being an immigrant or not.

        I’m not denying that at all. I completely agree. But we can’t deny that the terrorist attacks that happened in the past didn’t help either.

          Sure, but one terrorist attack does not justify another. And crime stats just don’t support this idea of immigrant criminality.

      Name the cities and neighborhoods or you’re lying. It’s possible someone mislead you, but if you repeat it without verification you’re still lying.

      This is like the thing conservatives said about “cities burning to the ground” because of BLM. Whenever you looked into it, it was some rando not associated with any group. Or possibly a right-wing agitator.

      Stop repeating the game of telephone. You can literally go to Saudi Arabia without wearing a headscarf. You think Paris is going to be stricter?
