    He and Farage are working together. It’s the only thing that makes sense at this point.

    The UK has proscribed Palatine Action. Several Septuagenarians and Octogenarians arrested, some in their wheelchairs being handcuffed. Pictures of peaceful protesters included those showing throwing items at police, spitting etc. Hardly peaceful. We need consistency.

    Islamophobia permeated the speeches, with Brian Tamaki, leader of New Zealand’s Destiny Church, claiming that “Islam, Hinduism, Bahai, Buddhism” are “all false”.

    “We’ve got to clean our countries up. Get rid of everything that doesn’t receive Jesus Christ. Ban any public expression of other religions in our Christian nations. Ban halal. Ban burqas. Ban mosques, temples, shrines - we don’t want those in our countries.”

    From a Middle East Eye article link

    Look how peaceful the right is. They only want to ban all religions they don’t agree with and anything to do with them and maybe kill anyone practicing them. Just a peaceful coexistence crowd weaponizing the death of an American fascist to spread more “peaceful” nationalist christofascist messages. Sounds real difficult to denounce /fucking sarcasm

      As Richard Dawkins said, the only difference between atheists and theists is that atheists believe in one less god. That Tamaki fellow sounds like a dangerous lunatic to me.

          Would he? That surprises me. I don’t really know much about the bloke, to be honest. I did start reading one of his books a couple of years ago, but the zealotry put me off pretty quickly, so I never got far.
