If you knew anything about conservatism, the real thing rather than some neoliberal confection unheard of before the 1980s, then you would already know all of this axiomatically.David Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839882674758833524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25656996.post-83165709568900522842013-02-14T23:45:49.496+00:002013-02-14T23:45:49.496+00:00Because Judaism is not remotely comparable to Isla...Because Judaism is not remotely comparable to Islam, as a threat to our way of life and our freedoms-Judaic values have intertwined perfectly well with our own, through the years.<br /><br />Islam, on the other hand, is a whole different ball game-as most observant people will have noticed.<br /><br />Nobody intelligent would make the comparison-has Ben Soffa been in a coma for the past 12 years?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25656996.post-36309505779361398842013-02-14T20:35:15.713+00:002013-02-14T20:35:15.713+00:00Since becoming Associate Director of the Henry Jac...Since becoming Associate Director of the Henry Jackson Society, Douglas Murray has continued to make statements about the EDL that are (to put it tactfully, given the litigious nature of the gentleman in question) not entirely unambiguously negative.<br /><br />See Murray’s statement on the EDL on the video attached to this post (and to which Sunny links above):<br /><br /><a href="http://greatersurbiton.wordpress.com/2012/08/13/alan-mendozas-putsch-in-the-henry-jackson-society/" rel="nofollow">http://greatersurbiton.wordpress.com/2012/08/13/alan-mendozas-putsch-in-the-henry-jackson-society/</a><br /><br />It is indeed inappropriate that Labour’s shadow defence secretary should be hosted by an organisation whose Associate Director has such views of a far-right organisation like the EDL.Marko Attila Hoarehttps://greatersurbiton.wordpress.com/2012/11/13/alan-mendozas-henry-jackson-society-and-william-shawcrosss-charity-commission/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25656996.post-73396058825319726612013-02-14T19:49:06.057+00:002013-02-14T19:49:06.057+00:00renders his comparison with "Jews" utter...<em>renders his comparison with "Jews" utterly stupid</em><br /><br />Why?David Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839882674758833524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25656996.post-919552919811138942013-02-14T16:06:11.453+00:002013-02-14T16:06:11.453+00:00Ben Soffa can't imagine why it might be a thre...Ben Soffa can't imagine why it might be a threat to our liberty to be allowing Islam to grow in strength across Europe.<br /><br />Nowhere in the article does Mr Soffa even engage with Murray's perfectly well-supported argument that there is a clash between Muslim values and Western values (which renders his comparison with "Jews" utterly stupid, to any thinking person).<br /><br />Mr Soffa won't be sneering when Islam begins gaining political influence.
