And that's where the obvious racism is, people talk about "the Muslim world" as if that's really a homogenous group

Both countries are Muslim and they both are ****. It's racist of you to not get that it's religion and not race but I don't care as long as you acknowledge their ****tines. FYI, they're different races. So race isn't actually a common thread. Religion is though. Iirc Chula thinks Islam is a race.

The claim that politically correct leaders routinely refuse to mention Islam when referring to terror attacks carried out by people holding a violent interpretation of the religion is common on the far-right.

“Manchester mayor Andy Burnham says the attack is the work of an ‘extremist’. An extreme what? An extreme rabbit?”

Criticising the prime minister, he claimed that “her own life is lived in a bullet-proof bubble, and she evidently does not need to identify any young people today in Manchester morgues”.

The musician added: “Also, ‘will not break us’ means that the tragedy will not break her, or her policies on immigration. The young people of Manchester are already broken - thanks all the same, Theresa.”

Right on Morrissey!!!

Cool, Morrissey believes in magic words too.

Are you suggesting that someone said calling them Islamic Extremists will magically solve the problem? Because I missed that one.

The ****ing **** you people make up. It's incredible. You're like little Trumps just living in your own Fantasyland.
