But I get your gist and applaud wildly. Finally someone with nuance who does not fall into the trap of either/or thinking. I wish there were more of us. Sigh. Great work. Love you. Remind me to share this to Facebook next time there is an attack. Right now the collective attention is elsewhere.

He has ...exactly what does Douglas actually want. <br /><br />He has come out his self and said that while he understands why PEGIDA and the EDL have emerged. He doesn't support those organisations and doesn't agree with activists like Tommy Robinson. So what is his big plan then. <br /><br />After every terror attack he says that westerners need to wake up and do something and derides reactions like this using music n song to display resistance to terror. <br /><br />For Douglas and others on the right this is limp dicked so what should ordinary citizens too. Go outside mosqued the attackers attended demanding to close them down. <br /><br />Form vigilante groups. <br /><br />He has said Poland doesnt suffer from jihadist terror because it doesnt have Islam on ita shores and that in the West we need less Islam but he always comes short of supporting Trumps policies towards Islam and Muslims despite seeming to agree with a lot of them and always decrying the liberal elites for forcing mass immigration onto the West. <br /><br />Is this refusal to declare suppprt for Trump just to retain a sense of respectability amongst his Etonian friends.

But what should the common person do after a terror attack how can they do anything but grieve and mourn the victims. <br /><br />Does he want them to go outside the attackers local mosques and demand answers. <br /><br />Go outside govt buildings to demand answers. <br /><br />Form Lynch Mobs.<br /><br />People do these concerts as a way to be defiant towards jihadists by showing them that you wont change our way of life it doesnt mean that they are soft on jihadism. <br /><br />Douglas also says he doesnt approve of groups like PEGIDA and the EDL as a response to Islamist extremism and the perceived Islamisation of the West. Most likely because they go against his Etonian sensibilities. <br /><br />So if he could outline some sort of plan on how to deal with Islamist extremism n terrorism instead of criticising people who choose music as a form of defiance against Jihadists. <br /><br />If he supports a Muslim Ban or mass surveillance of Mosques and profiling n tagging. deportation of all radical preachers. he should come out and say it. Instead of this vague "action" talk him n his ilk talk about. <br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432242844451177314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2731703290032072857.post-77134902701168875432017-06-01T10:05:44.861-07:002017-06-01T10:05:44.861-07:00Im WELL aware of what he means, thanks... i just f...Im WELL aware of what he means, thanks... i just find his response unhelpful & counterproductive when people are singing to cope with grief. I know he's not putting out fatwahs against music and concerts... i just think he's being insensitive, and also strawmanning as he tends to do. What action is it time for exactly? What needs to be done? Maybe he should lay that out more clearly, does he have good suggestions other than worrying about immigration? And if thats his main concern, have the balls to say you're for a muslim ban type thing... support trump openly... don't just criticize his critics and write puff pieces about him. I think your like of him got the better of you, shame.

I'd defend Douglas Murray on his John Lennon comment, (I know your not a fan of him, I'm sceptical of him myself) but in this instance he was merely meaning that its time for action rather than singing 'Love and Peace', I'm certain he isn't against everyone mourning however they need to and would certainly not be against music concerts to remember the dead. In this instance, I think your dislike of him has got the better of you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
