There are obviously religiously motivated terror threats, which our security services are actively monitoring and intercepting. There are criminal grooming gangs which are slowly being brought to justice by painstaking police investigation. There are protests that, occasionally, can get out of hand. How the police manage anything like that so the peace is safely and quickly restored is an operational matter for them. There is a significant issue with illegal immigration, for which there is no silver bullet answer. Are any getting amnesties? News to me. On what basis? Some will be granted asylum, which isn’t an amnesty.

You, and Y-L, preface the description of these problems with “Islamist” and thereby hangs Y-L’s problem.

Criminal activity, if there is any, is done by people, either as individuals or in groups. It’s not done by a religion.

As an atheist I have little time for any religious belief and condemn anyone who hides criminal activity behind it. That said we must never condemn a religion just because some criminals claim to adhere to it.

Y-L is on a mission which puts Islam in the centre of his view of everything that’s wrong. He has been on that mission for years, which has turned into a nice little earner for him.

We have the law and the justice system to deal with criminals. It’s imperfect and often slow but it’s our way. We don’t need rabble rousers winding up vigilantes .

If anyone is “renaming” things it’s you. Asylum is not an amnesty.

Burning either a Bible or a Quran in the UK is not illegal. Do it in private at home and nothing would, or could, happen.

However, do in the middle of any kind of religious event you could be found to have committed a hate crime. So it’s not the burning that might be illegal but the intentions behind it.

What happened at the airport and any response was by people. Not by a religion. Condemn them and that they might use religion as their excuse by all means but not the religion itself. It’s counterproductive.

But we do need people who can't vote for him railing about Trump to others who can't vote for him either. One man's opinion.

Yup the same as illegal immigration is now irregular immigration.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it’s a duck.
What piffle you believe.

The truth sometimes hurts but it needs to be to told, even if the hurt is initially to you.

The impact might have to be managed for a while but you cannot maintain integrity and pretend lies are truths.

Some of the things Trump says, and those who support him, are deplorable.
