I'm not really sure. I heard something about dressing up in someone else's clothing, it may have been a womens (although that may be a different story altogether)

Actually Islamofacism and Far Left Liberalism are very similar under the surface. At first glance they're different, but look deeper. Both ideologies fetishise totalitarian control of speech and thought, both hate Judeo-Cristian Conservatism. Both are hostile to true science, open discussion and immune to self-analysis.

I read an article in the independent that said the same thing about islamist extremists and the far right!

They're certainly effective recruiters for each other.

Yes indeed, the far right, far left and ISIS are all cut from the same cloth. Problem is, it's sociably acceptable to hold far left sympathies these days, so it's the far left who are the true danger to civilisation, since they are the "evil triplet" who are most likely to gain traction, and in their wake, Islamofacism. What we need is old fashioned conservatism, which is not far anything.

Looks like two guys in rubber masks and Kim Jong Un.

I think we need both left and right to stop either side from going 'far'.

Is it just me being a muppet but isn't all this 'your a lefty, your a far right extermist,  just a load of tosh or what? (I bet it's a long time since you heard the word tosh but I thought it relevant and think it's time we brought it back) anyway. Cant we just have views as some of mine would certainly be considered as a looney left idea and others a right wing nazi,'s  anthem?

 

Or am I being stupid and you need to have left or right views and that's it?
