It cannot have escaped the attention of anyone who regularly reads the blogs on the NS website, and particularly those of my colleague Mehdi Hasan, that many who post comments are obsessed with and fearful of Islam. When I blogged the other day about the American Justice of Peace who refused a marriage licence to a mixed race couple the first comment, from “Matt”, was: “Good call there, Sholto. Any excuse to ignore the Islamisation of Europe.”
Which Islam are you afraid of?
Fear and obsession narrow the mind
