The UN Migration Pact.

Yes it is, I agree but it's still unhelpful to use such loaded language to describe it.

Calling it a backwards demonic cult is trivialising the real issues that could and should be discussed.

Honestly, because people like Jaggas are doing more harm than good.

It's something more moderate people should be raising.

I also believe the hard left are very much to blame for stifling debate and discussion.

It becomes a sad state of affairs when we demand that the State imposes laws that interfere with our rights to choose what we believe in.
Of course we have built up a Statute Book which makes illegal some of the more extreme practices which are undertaken within some cultures, of course we should relentlessly enforce in our country. People who migrate here should understand and live within our laws or be prosecuted, rightly so.
The problem I have is the mass vilification of any one religion based upon the extreme acts and practices of a small minority who hold that faith.
This vilification generally comes from the political extremes in the UK. And, generally, comes from a position of an extreme level ignorance, laughably on a par with the people who practice versions of a religion they are vilifying!
Take Jaggas, ignoring his obvious racist beliefs (based upon his comments here) he vilifies Islam, but I would like to know why.
Has he ever spent time in a country where Islam is the predominate faith?
Has he had a personal experience of an extreme act, or statement to him personally, which informs his views?
Has he ever sat with a person who holds Islam as their faith and discussed why he feels this way?
I have asked versions of these questions many times and he doesn't respond. To me that suggests he has none of the above. So what informs his views?. It can only be the media in the UK. The media concentrates on single acts of extremism and he then conflates those acts across all of Islam, ignoring the fact that Muslims in general abhor extremism and acts of violence. He will then try to quote translations from the Quran, a book I would wager he has never read.

So the point is, we do need to confront religious extremism but we don't win that argument by presenting our case from a basis of laughable ignorance.

Broken by Islam or a minority, sometimes cultural, interpretation of Islam?
Plus, your experience, or regurgitated conflation?

I personally have had a few things happen to me. I was once in a relationship with an Iranian woman who lived in Frankfurt. Her Father was Iraqi and her Mother was Afghan (it might have been the other way round, but I can't remember!) and she was born and brought up in Tehran. Her Father had bought her an apartment in Tehran, so she had to return for a visit. I accompanied her and this proved to be a problem. We visited several members of her extended family. Some welcomed me and were very polite, others, including her Father, refused to allow me to enter their homes and wouldn't even see me nor speak to me.

Another time, in Frankfurt, we were returning home after a night out after having a few drinks. The taxi driver spoke to her in Farsi, she replied......then he started shouting, and I mean really shouting in a loud aggressive manner, he then pulled the taxi over and demanded we get out. Apparently, it was because she was with me. 

Neither were terrorist incidents, but they left a nasty taste in the mouth. 

At least I've got you in my life Bags......

Oh christ, where's the Mess Webley........

Well then, come closer. This thing is only accurate to about thirty feet !

There was nothing casual about our sex life. It was quite intense at times 
The animosity shown to me was due to religion.

There is a massive difference in talking about dirty Somali scumbags squirting out muslims and talking about how better to integrate different groups into society!!

I've said it many times before, SOME of the issues raised may well be true, relevant or at least worth discussing but not with right wing racists and not with looney left wing snowflakes.

Neither add anything to the debate.
