I don't really do politics, apart from local politics where local MPs (in the UK) can make big differences to peoples' lives.
But mainstream politics has always left me feeling unfulfilled.
I don't consider myself left or right wing (although others would be able to pigeon hole me I suspect), I don't follow a party or a club or a doctrine, I just believe what I believe and usually I can find what I want in many different parties, even alleged extreme ones.
So my point, let's take the recent horrific Islamist attack in an Aussie café. It's clearly wrong to take and kill hostages. It's clearly done in the name of a religion. So what's with the hashtag #illridewithyou?
Seems like the victims of this atrocity has become muslims, and not the two members of staff that died, and the other folk caught up in the horrible event.
My question is what is "the left" and why does it make excuses for such actions?

PS if you're about to post a reply and your response is going to be negative, improper, average, odd, obtuse, irrational, an argument, might change the focus, going off at a tangent or just mean ... go and find a maths forum to post on instead, they'll love you !!
