Someone’s been watching their fox news like a good boy.

Maybe you missed the part where I don’t live in America? Fox News is a joke from overseas that I’m guessing most people here don’t quite think can be real.

The majority of muslims, the ones not blindly following every word in their holy book, not a problem. Stupid, but not a problem. The few that are, scary ****s. Their tendency to (1) Get into power in ****ty foreign countries, (2) Export little bits of their madness, also somewhat scary.

“Blindly follows every word of X” is going to produce a scary **** for most values of X, but there does seem to be a special level of scary for the bumorted abrahamic scriptures.

There are courts in this country (once again, for all the Skyman’s out there, I’m talking about the UK if I say “this country") where, admittedly for civil matters only, you can be tried under Sharia law. You have to consent to their “arbitration” first, but if you can be coerced into agreeing (if, say, you’re a muslim, in a muslim community, with a muslim family that you don’t want to “bring shame upon” for example) then the decision is legally binding. No hand-chopping, ‘cause it’s not a criminal court and that’d be ****ing insane, but it’s hard not to see it as a toe in the door.

The trends are encouraging; less and less people give a toss about religion every time they do a census. Even the ****ing Pope didn’t manage to sell all the tickets to his thing when he came here. But there are still hardcore religious types around, and not all religions have the benefit of centuries of gradually being disregarded to soften them up.
