He's been linked with extremists.
The real enemy is Islamic extremists. It's disgraceful that the UK has let this happen. I am extremely ashamed of my country right now.
I honestly couldn't give a shit whether you agree with me or not.
To be fair to Bella, no, "extremist" is a word the left uses to allow the right to hide behind pluralism. I love my empathetic left, and while nobody should be presumed guilty before they do anything, this does allow the conversation to stop.
There is NOT one religion religion in the world that does not have competing sub sects.
The "extremists" are still picking up the same holy book as the moderate and liberals of the same religion. Same with any religion. The tea party Drumpf voting LBGT hating right Baptist is still using the same bible as any empathetic left Obama supporting liberal baptist.
The book is the same for both the non violent left and the bigoted violent right. The only difference is the conclusions either side comes to when reading the same books.
It is certainly important to stand up to "extremists". But that still does not change the common book they use that the non violent left uses. OF ANY RELIGION.
