Muslim cry-babies whine of 'assault on human rights'

[Hermit]

A poor muslim, christian , atheist (or more generally indifferent to religion) will generally vote on the left
A rich muslim, christian etc will vote more rightwing.

Orly? The UK must be truly The Lucky Country. So many rich people, as evidenced by the government it voted in recently.

Well that's a good point. I think the right appeals to a lot of working class voters.

The idea that which foreigners we bomb makes any real political difference in elections is absurd in the UK

Er, you only need to look at the last election to see that it may well make a difference.

There was a large anti-war movement of muslims from Labour to the LibDems, and even towards the Conservatives.

As we had a situation where Labour and the LibDems could not form a successful coalition to challenge the Tories, by a relatively small number of seats, it's perfectly possible that the movement away from Labour had a very significant effect, that it actually changed the political composition of the coalition.

Gonzo, this is a reminder that personal attacks, such as this post by you, are against the forum rules. Please refrain from them in the future.

You gonna spank svartalf too? You'd better.

no, the flogging with branches will be nice, it's the baking in a sauna before that that will be the real punishment.

There's a line somewhere here, but I'm not sure enough where it is to take a position on this divisive issue. It's somewhere around

wearing a mask in public is a means of hiding your identity
and
allowing your kids to die/be mutilated is a blood crime.

France is very conservative right now, and had been growing moreso for about two decades before Sarkozy was elected. But I sense that's off-topic.
