Munich by mistake
It is curious that David Cameron made his racist speech in Munich. Was that a mistake but did the resonance with Hitler chime with his own views.
Notice that he only attacked extremist Islamist groups not extremist, Jews, Christians or Hindus. All of whom have some views which are antagonistic to British values. Very recently some Christians were taken to court for not allowing a gay couple to share a bed. Mind you it was not so long ago that the gay couple could be sent to prison for wanting to share a bed. Not so far from some of the extreme Islamist views, there were even those advocating chemical castration of homosexuals. It was not so long ago that people like Alan Turing felt so hounded for his homosexuality by the law, he committed suicide .
Then there are the Anglican bishops who left the church and joined the papists because they oppose equal rights for women. How come the churches, of all varieties, are allowed to ignore the legislation which applies to everyone else. The real problem is not any particular religion but the inordinate respect that is given to religious views.
But somehow it is OK to criticize the brown skinned religions rather more than their white skinned varieties and that is just racist. You have to remeber who Mr Cameron has allied himself with in Europe to understand that civilisation does not run very deep in the modern Tory party.
