Tbf us non-Muslims largely hate those platforms too. Problem is, even when people arise that might be able to remove the criticism is Islam away from far-right propaganda, like Salman Rushdie or even Maajid Nawaz, they face a barrage of fire and an existential threat. It's hard to take the cries of Islamophobia seriously when critics of Islam literally have to fear for their life.

Nobody should fear for their life for criticising something. I'm not really referring to them, more the far right (Robert Spencer, Pam Gellar, Britain First types). And by the way they are not the only ones who are fearful of their life. Muslims have been murdered for being muslims, Sikh's have faced violence for looking like what racists perceive to be Muslims. Hate crimes have resulted in deaths. Thats not to mention fire-bombing of mosques along with death threats.

Islamophobia has lead to people being murdered too, it too should be taken seriously. Our fear of terrorism has led to occasionally some pretty morally dubious realpolitik where civilians have lost lives in wars. It isn't just critics of Islam who fear for their life.

Islam is an incredibly conservative/right wing ideology. And yet those who are opposed to it (even when doing so on left wing/liberal grounds) are referred to as right wing nutters?

The only people who will attack you in Florida are gangbangers, methheads, druglords with chainsaws, old people who are really awful drivers...then there's the gators, pythons and sharks.

Other than that you should be OK. Oh, and don't put any valuables in your suitcases if you are going through Miami airport. The baggage handlers are notorious for stealing from luggage.

Islam is not a singular ideology. In Sunni Islam there is Hanafi, Hanabli, Maliki, Shafi. Then there are branches in Shia Islam, then of course sufi-ism. And within each of those sects you have variability in people holding different views, different practises, differing levels of adherence, different interpretation, and the usual person-to-person variability.

I was born a Muslim, I consider myself agnostic and have voted either Lib-dem or Labour my entire life. I am in favour of LGBT rights. So again where do I and many others fit into your "Islam" is a conservative/right wing ideology?

Really mate? How come you're "probably" sure that western Muslims are overwhelmingly #5, yet Muslims from other countries are only minority #5. I mean there are quite a number of Muslim countries that fall in the non-western column.

no - those who oppose islam for the sake of it being different to their beliefs are nutters. those who attack radical islam or any violently radical group(s) could be right wing or left wingers or even centrists and they'd be correct to do so.

I'm not sure if it's anywhere near the same scale. The EDL/Britain First types are practically a joke, and tend to be easy enough for the police to deal with before anyone dies. Never even heard of Robert Spencer, and I wouldn't have heard of Pam Gellar either if it weren't for people trying to kill her. Fire bombing mosques is obviously bad, but the anti-Islamic extremists in Europe haven't had anywhere the impact that Islamic extremists have. They're almost tame by comparison.

Tbf, even when it was happening millions of us said it's bullshit and with time passing almost everyone else has realised those wars were awful disasters. Even the current #1 ranking racist Donald Trump has criticised middle eastern involvement. The only people who still publicly defend them are the guys who'd get hung for war crimes if there was any justice in the world.
 
If you justify terrorist acts such as this one or Paris with "well, we were terrible to them in the ME", I have to ask if you would you be comfortable with the west doing revenge actions in the ME targeting civilians as a result of the attacks in Paris or now Brussels? It implies an-eye-for-an-eye is an acceptable tactic.

It's such an awkward argument to me. Maybe especially in this instance with Belgium, are they really doing anything all that terrible post-Leopold II? And in the Islamic world specifically? Even if they did, would it be agreeable to punish civilians in this manner?

To me it seems like some perverted form of original sin. "We are to blame, if we only would have shown a bit more compassion... "

At some point Europe is going to get fed up and I am very afraid of the future of democracy as we know it. A contributing factor is the weak "liberalism and tolerance" and a lot of people are now seeking answers among the far-right. Tolerance is an interesting subject and I particularly agree with Karl Popper's "Paradox of Tolerance" in this instance:

Karl Popper said:
Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.

Basically, Europe or "The West" need to make tough decisions and stand up for itself. If it doesn't, I fear the return of authoritarian/totalitarian states and that's not a very pleasant proposition for anyone.

You might not of heard of them nor given them any importance, but I assure you, the majority of the the world's Muslims have heard of them and scarily their opinions are taken to be the opinions of the vast majority of the west. A bit like how ISIS ideology is seen as a representation of Muslims in the west.

I'm not sure it does imply justification, or an eye for an eye type of mentality. It merely states the context out of which the nightmare has arisen.

By the way, the West is bombing the ME into the ground as we speak, so your question about revenge attacks on Paris is pertinent.

There is a man who has a significant chance of becoming the president of the United States who advocates banning Muslims from entering a country and killing families of terrorists (which is a war crime) and he there is a chance he might win.

I think you underestimate the extent of the rise of far right parties in Europe who have leaped on anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim fears for political gain. Islamophobia may not be anywhere near the mortality of Islamic extremists but that doesn't make Islamophobia any less dangerous or pernicious. There has been an increase in the the number of hate crimes (even if the majority are non-lethal) and that should concern us all.

And saying something is bullshit after the fact is kind of meaningless really. Particularly as I'm not sure we are doing enough to really change some of the most ineffective, morally dubious and counterproductive aspects to our foreign policy with regards to airstrikes, drone strikes and what not. I do appreciate there is a general increased skepticism among the populace regarding wars post-Iraq war.

Incidentally just today Ted Cruz said law enforcement needs to "patrol and secure Muslim neighbourhoods". This is a man running for office in the most consequential role in the world and he's considered by some to be the saner one compared to the guy who has called for registrations, ID badges, war crimes and outright banning from the country.

Hallelujah!

20 European people get killed in Europe and we should nuke Middle East. Kill a few million Arabs in the last hundred years (be it directly, or indirectly) and no-one here gives a shit.

The Western politics in ME have been shocking and sooner or later it was going to backfire.

Obviously, destroying ISIS is a must, but then not trying to 'democratize' Middle East, in addition to not trying to find weapons of massive destruction, and not initiating civil wars would help a lot. Otherwise ISIS will transform to something else, similar to how Al Qaeda got transformed to ISIS.

In addition, not blaming Islam for this, is around as ridiculous as not blaming US-Europe politics on ME. All (Abrahamic) religions are as fascist as any ideology can be, but Islam gets taken more seriously from Muslims than Christianity from Christians and Hebraism from Jews.

Quite possibly. I find it believable they could become the ones who take out their frustrations violently, with guns/bombs, for a period though.
 
I always thought it's kind of a dumb thing really, USA, EC, Russia export billions of weapons to Middle East where obviously wars happen like every couple of years not without some direct involvement from said states of course and where countries have very feeble foundations at best and then they are puzzled when terrorist group spring out one after another and come back to attack them.
It's no rocket science really.

That phrase is just what I have been saying to people for a while, although nowhere near as eloquently as Karl Popper has said it.

We are a very tolerant nation who pride ourselves on our tolerance but realise now that we have been too tolerant for too long. We have reached a stage where we feel our tolerance has been badly abused and now we want the government to be firmer and we want to be firmer too. So many on here are failing to understand this and so continually just opt to lash out with the usual racist/UKIP/right wing stuff. We are becoming less tolerant of those sort of comments too.

I always thought it's kind of a dumb thing really, USA, EC, Russia export billions of weapons to Middle East where obviously wars happen like every couple of years not without some direct involvement from said states of course and where countries have very feeble foundations at best and then they are puzzled when terrorist group spring out one after another and come back to attack them.
It's no rocket science really.
