The idea that progressives go out of their way to pander to the totalitarian practices of Muslims?
Attacking a gay pride parade as racist because it provoked Muslims isn't?
Look at those hideous racists
Tbh Swede bants aside, this was from the Left Unity conference in Britain
“Despite the atrocities it has carried out and its attack on the Kurds, IS nevertheless represents an attempt to break fundamentally with the structure of religiously and ethnically divided nation states imposed on the region by Britain and France at the end of the First World War… Unlike a continuation of the framework of western-imposed nation states, it therefore, theoretically, has progressive potential.” “The Caliphate represents an alternative political vision that is gathering support amongst Muslims across the Muslim world because… it stands for replacing the brutal regimes in which they live with a political system based on Islam that sets up an accountable executive, an organised judiciary, representative consultation, inal motions and amendments for the rule of law and citizenship; such a state could only be a stabilising force for the region and the European Left has to acknowledge and accept the widespread call for a Caliphate among Muslims as valid and an authentic expression of their emancipatory, anti-imperialist aspirations.”
You guys got to make me stop digging because every time I do I find even more rank stupidity
"ISIS has progressive potential"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
You must know that I don't really care about who any of you people are or what your political affiliations are, and I mean that in the nicest way possible because ultimately I come here to post about Dorfs and politics gets in the way of that - and when it comes to politics I care most about getting my case forward, not destroying yours because there is nothing to be won by "winning" [coincidentally if I am attacking your case it's because I find it funny]. But there are times like this where I feel a juicy fire where such abject stupidity must be shown because it exists, and not enough people know it exists. Ultimately though? This is for my own amusement, a justification for laughter. Credit where it's given don't get me wrong they said fuck ISIS and most didn't vote in favour of ISIS having progressive potential. Most; because not all have functioning brains.
Jokes aside there are actually worrying, worrying numbers. Such as at France where 1 in 10 people are Muslim but
1 in 6 sympathize with ISIS. That is odd.
Except, not so odd when you factor in progressives. I've been reading one of their neat books (
link to imgur cap of index, not the book as that would be illegal) that has this neat thing to say about the left:
Jeez, just marry already lel
And in London, east end in particular which is mine, you get hilarious shit where Universities that are so progressive their teachers give post-feminist deconstructions of art by cutting tomatoes with knives sticking out of their vaginas (I did not make this up)
doing so in a Uni where there are regular talks of Jihad. What weird companions to brush shoulders, eh? The hilarious thing is, Queen Mary is also the Uni that published the study that terrorists were more likely to be wealthier and better educated than the regular joe.
About everything you dumped in that paragraph?
"The Danes and Swedes bringing ISIS fighters back to Europe for free stuff and health checks are not a credit to Europe"
Some progressives say Aarhus should become a model for other communities in the United States and Europe that are trying to cope with the question of what to do when the jihad generation comes back to town.
For better or worse, this city’s answer has left the likes of Talha wandering freely on the streets. The son of moderate Muslim immigrants from the Middle East, he became radicalized and fought with an Islamist brigade in Syria for nine months before returning home last October. Back on Danish soil, he still dreams of one day living in a Middle Eastern caliphate. He rejects the Islamic State’s beheading of foreign hostages
but defends its summary executions of Iraqi and Syrian soldiers.
When the Islamic State terrorists are ready to retire from beheading, crucifying and burning innocent human beings, they will now enjoy a nice benefits package in Stockholm, Sweden, that includes free housing, health care and financial support.
In fact, Sweden’s own soldiers don’t even get the same benefits.
And some officials are suggesting the law-abiding population pay for the services so ISIS fighters can reintegrate into society.
The Swedish newspaper Expressen reported that councilor Rasmus Persson advocates offering terrorists jobs so they don’t feel alienated. Stockholm has released a document outlining its “strategy against violent extremism.”
"Our ISIS fighters come from various backgrounds"
Yep, you got ones like Nasser Muthana who was a med student, Abu Hussain al Britani who was a hacker, Abu Taubah who was a London student and convert, Abu Bakr Al Khurassani who was a business student, Khalil al-Britani who was a failure who fucked up his GCSEs, Abu Usamah al-Eritri who was an estate agent with biomed degrees, Umm Layth who was privately educated in Scotland (most expensive education outside of London), Zubair Nur who was a petroleum geology student, Mohammed Ismail an English convert from coventry who went to Syria with two friends but came back alone e.t.c.
Estimates on the low end say 700 ISIS fighters, higher end 1,500 or more,
check out them profiles if you're interested.

"fake petition in support of female genital mutilation and all it took to get gullible proggys to lap it up and pledge support was for her to say it was a part of her culture that needed protecting"
If you thought I was lying you don't know London progressives"Hell, when I get bored I just start accusing my progy friends of racism, it's not good for their health but it's good for mine."
Take my word for it :

"People seem to think you can defeat fundamentalist Islam by endorsing it, giving it state and media protection. I always find it hilarious when Edwards try to ban insulting Islam whilst Muhammeds try to stop the Edwards in an effort to save their faith from being taken over by Wahabism. It was always a source of joy for me to see Muslim media attack the tribalism growing within Islam whilst Western media bent itself backwards and gave their clerics air time."
In reference to Al Jazeera publishing a piece on how some pretty dangerous tribalism was emerging within Islam whilst Miliband (who at the time was expected to possibly become Prime Minister) promised to make criticizing Islam illegal; besides freedom of speech advocates, Miliband's most vocal opponents came from moderate Muslims themselves.
"I'm sure you're also familiar with how we've got shit where the police covered up the systematic rape of thousands of English girls across England by muslims because they didn't want to appear racist, ironically whilst the rapists targeted the girls for their race."
And the laughter ends.
In September 2012, investigations by The Times based on confidential police and social services documents, found that abuse had been much more widespread than acknowledged. It uncovered systematic abuse of white girls by some Asian men (mostly of Pakistani origin) in Rotherham for which people were not being prosecuted.Professor Alexis Jay's report, commissioned by Rotherham Borough Council, said: "Several councillors interviewed believed that by opening up these issues they could be 'giving oxygen' to racist perspectives that might in turn attract extremist political groups and threaten community cohesion."A report has lifted the lid on the sexual exploitation of at least 1,400 children in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013, along with "blatant" collective failures to deal with the issue.
One victim, who had been groomed from the age of 12 and was raped for the first time when she was 13, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme her harrowing story.
She says she was raped "once a week, every week" until she was 15, that police "lost" clothing she had given to them as evidence and that she had feared for her family's safety.And it wasn't just limited to Rotherham, with rape gangs found everywhere from Bristol to Derbyshire, Oxfordshire, Telford and so on - this was no isolated case, and it still continues.
Of course there are nutjobs out there, but they're hardly representative. Not for the larger group of "leftists" in general nor for more extreme positions.
Your strawman is pretending that wanting more permissive laws for immigration and better treatment of refugees is somehow equivalent to condoning beheadings or thinking that everything about some foreign culture is good and flowery.
If that's what you see then let me correct you. I find progressive adoption of open borders an idiocy apart from condoning beheadings or cultural relativism, being apologetic or sympathetic in just about any way. I'm pretty much ok with apathy since the apathetic don't really care much about anything so I can't blame them.
