Is a burka ban racist?

I don’t think that it could be called racist as it’s not discriminating against a race of people. You could argue that it is getting into the territory of eroding religious freedom but then you have to ask the questions such as what is more important... the oppression of women, public security in the light of Islamic terrorism or religious freedom. It is ironic that a woman being compelled to wear one of these ghastly things over her face has anything to do with freedom...

Not really.
Was there a big problem with Jewish terrorism back then?

20 shot/ killed in Las Vegas.

 

Something about a shooter firing into a concert from a high rise.

European powers were scared the revolution in Russia would spread through Europe. That's why fascism was supported.
Imagine working people running there own country without the ruling classes.
Hence American support for Mussolini etc.
Jewish terrorism?
No.
They won.

If you win you're a freedom fighter.
If you lose you're a terrorist.

So the guy that blew up the Manchester Arena is a "freedom fighter"?
