If only I could remember his name.

She is clear and articulate, a gifted speaker, a good communicator. <br /><br />But all the time she is using the old magician's tricks of misdirection, sleight of hand, switching and baiting. <br /><br />Take this quote from her tweet:<br /><br />"If you take a negative characteristic of an individual and impose on a whole community that’s racism"<br /><br />Sounds so reasonable doesn't it? Of course one should not extrapolate from the bad behaviour of one individual to stigmatise a whole community...but what about a pattern of behaviour across not a couple of individuals in one location but hundreds, even thousands of individuals in many different locations? What about a pattern of criminal behaviour that has victims in the tens of thousands - again following a pattern. You know what I am talking about here, the same thing Trevor Phillips was: a pattern of behaviour found in just about every town and city where followers of Islam are numerous and a pattern of victims (young white non-Muslim teenage girls, nearly always with no father at home - insecure and vulnerable).<br /><br />Are we expected to believe this pattern of behaviour involving large family and friendship networks was unknown to the wider community? (Answer: Yes, according to Warsi whereas any sensible person will disagree and note that until the criminality was revealed in court cases it was never condemned by community "leaders"). Is it a pattern we see in other countries? (Answer: yes). <br /><br />She is essential dishonest in her arguments, just as a magician is not honest with their audience. She smiles and affects a kind of jolly banter, which fools a lot of people into thinking her a warm responsive human being. But of course the reality is she is a very cold and calculating. She knows exactly what has been going on in communities up and down Britain. She knows exactly what Sharia law is and why it is central to Islam. But she's not admitting it. <br /><br />Cold and calculating. <br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Monkey Brainsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-57359344428699941212020-03-09T22:40:17.960+00:002020-03-09T22:40:17.960+00:00The problem for Warsi is that we have real life ex...The problem for Warsi is that we have real life examples where the negative characteristics of an individual can be representative of a wider problem in a particular community. <br /><br />The British public are all too aware of those facts.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341313534441507081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-76693493338837023622020-03-09T22:11:58.428+00:002020-03-09T22:11:58.428+00:00If I signed up to BBC Sounds does that mean that I...If I signed up to <i>BBC Sounds</i> does that mean that I endorse everything that the BBC pushes in my direction?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-75911450789775667592020-03-09T21:16:14.848+00:002020-03-09T21:16:14.848+00:00I thought for a moment there you'd forgotten a...I thought for a moment there you'd forgotten about "Three Girls" - but no! I think the perpetrator's wife made clear that it was the TV drama rather than anything else that was the main, direct, motivation for his murderous attack. As you say, strange how BBC reporters keep neglecting to mention that BBC drama. <br /><br />I think the BBC do have responsiblity, because their news reporting had disguised the detailed nature of the offences. The very anodyne news reports did not prepare people for the shocking impact of the drama which was clearly much truer to what happened in real life (although, I believe from the short clips I've seen that even that covered up the worst aspects of the abuse, and certainly did not go into the religious aspect of the offences). <br /><br />It's interesting is it not that Warsi, the MCB crowd and all the Virtue Signalling Left, especially Labour, want to categorise criticism of Islam as racist. There is nothing more powerful in our society than an accusation of racism. It has ended many a career. <br /><br />But let's be clear: criticism of Islam is not racist. Mocking followers of Islam is not racist, anymore than mocking of followers of Christianity (as done by numerous left wing comedians over the years) is not racist. <br /><br />Clearly incitement to violence against any group is a serious offence which should be punished. <br /><br />But what Warsi and her fellow conspirators want to do is use the bogus concept of Islamophobia as a stick with which to beat opponents of Sharia law and its second class treatment for non-Muslims, atheists, gays, and women. If Warsi could point to a single Muslim majority country where non-Muslims, atheists, gays, and women enjoyed equal citizens' rights in theory and - more importantly - in practice she might have a point. She can't and she doesn't. Monkey Brainsnoreply@blogger.com
