I guess that this is a continuation of my last entry, in that it refers to those who seem to take offence at the slightest of provocations. Each day we read about bloggers who are being persecuted for their beliefs, or should I say lack of beliefs, for it seems that the victims recently are being attacked because they are atheists. I some parts of this ridiculous world, to run against the tide is seen as a criminal act and the Islamic world in particular likes to murder or torture those that do not believe in what they are told to. To rail against fundamental Islam is a brave act indeed and I respect those who take a stand and try to expose it for what it is.
On a different but related note, I feel very sorry for those thousands of migrants, leaving their homes because conditions for them are so bad and yet they travel huge distances across Europe in order to get to Calais because they think that England is some sort of paradise. Most of these migrants are from Muslim countries so why do they not make their way to Saudi Arabia or Qatar, where they would probably fit in better? I do find it strange that people who are fundamentally anti the West, will risk life and limb to head in this direction. They are unlikely to get treated kindly by a Tory government, and the native population seems to become less and less tolerant of people that move in and fail to integrate with the culture that they have struggled so hard to become a part of.
Perhaps I should keep quiet on this issue as I really do not know a great deal about the situation as a whole, though I do feel that there should be a freedom to criticise anything and anyone, even Muslims and women.
