Yeah that religion which comprises less than 7% of the UK population is clearly a massive threat. Whereas the one that runs at 45% of the population and has laws mandating its use in schools and legal institutions and has 26 members in the House Of Lords, the only country apart from Iran to appoint religious leaders to law making positions, is obviously no threat to liberty at all.
It is amazing how Britain purports to be a secular state while having a state religion.
But the one that runs at 7% actively tries to enforce its beliefs and culture onto the others.
The 45% one isn’t nearly as vociferous and violent as the 7% one. It’s pretty much grown out of that after being here for a couple of thousand years. Most people only pay lip service anyway.
Sorry to be blunt but that’s utter rubbish. The 45% one has bishops in the house of lords - they help craft actual laws that actually affect us all.
It’s funny how you give Anglicans the benefit of saying
Most people only pay lip service anyway.
But you don’t give Muslims the same consideration, instead calling them vociferous and violent. Why not assume that most just pay lip service like the Anglicans do? Or do you really believe that all Muslims are extremists?
I didn’t say all - you did.
I don’t see many teachers in hiding from enraged extremists of other religions.
Keep your head in the sand - and it’ll all go away.
And you keep being a bigot, I’m sure that’ll make her leave the Muslim she dumped you for.
I wonder how many reckon the extreme side of Christianity (which we see currently devouring the rights of the peoples of the USA) is a threat to our way of life too…
As a British voter, Christiofascism worries me far more than Islam does right now.
I do.
All forms of religious extremism are a threat to our way of life.
Islam is getting targeted at the moment because the others aren’t currently violently trying to enforce their version of a fictitious deity onto us.
Indeed, religious extremism, at least that which outwardly affects others (if you want to be extreme in your beliefs and live in a cave away from humanity to achieve enlightenment that’s cool go for it), is a threat to everybody.
Nobody’s ever tried to violently force Islam on me, or anybody I know, though.
Now, Catholic Priests and Teachers at our religious UK state schools on the other hand? Ooh, the stories we could tell…

And I think Lee Anderson is a threat to the British way of life.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
It found that 52% believe the increasingly prominent conspiracy theory that parts of European cities are under sharia law and are “no-go” areas for non-Muslims.
The findings give an insight into why senior members of the party have refused to condemn the recent comments by Lee Anderson about the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, as Islamophobic.
Anderson, who was the deputy party chair, said on GB News that he thought Khan, one of the country’s most prominent Muslim politicians, was being controlled by Islamists.
Other prominent Conservatives have defended Anderson, including the former home secretary Suella Braverman who said on Monday that the row over his comments constituted “hysteria”.
Sajjad Karim, a former Tory MEP, told the Guardian’s First Edition newsletter this week: “I can go back to about 2012 or 2013 when I first started to detect some of this type of talk.
Lowles said: “Based on the views of Conservative members, it’s clear why Anderson, Braverman et al feel increasingly emboldened to push the boundaries of decency and speak negatively of Muslims, immigrants and multiculturalism more generally.
The original article contains 770 words, the summary contains 178 words. Saved 77%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
It’s ok, they’ll just get the press to do another witch hunt for anti-semitism in the Labour Party. No-one can be shocked that you’re racist if you were always racist.
