my views vary quite a bit, and i don't think that anyone can classify me as either a liberal, or fascist: i do believe islam to be a violent religion, not one of peace. i do think all immigration should be stopped. i do think there should be some kind of system in place to limit the number of children in future generations. Im pro-abortion, against fox-hunting, against the common agricultural policy, against the welfare state and all its benefits, against economic protectionism, and strongly anti-union.
my point is that my views aren't just based upon rash emotions. i will use available facts and use rational logical thinking in establishing my position on such issues.
now to racism. what many people in this forum dont understand, is that criticising a religion isn't racist. judging someone by the colour of their skin without any valid reason - that is.
example, if someone called me a ****, that'd be racist. (using a derogatory term based upon skin colour. note also, the term refers to pakistanis ie muslims. so i will be even more ****ed off). however, if i get stopped everyday on the london underground and searched by police, that wouldn't bother me so much (they are judging me by the colour of my skin, but i can understand why they'd question a young male asian).
islam is extremist, and is fundamentally incompatible with a free liberal democratic society. islam is a threat to our way of life. criticism of islam, is therefore criticism of an extremist and oppressive way of life, and therefore a liberal view.
the so called 'liberals' here, who get 'offended' by religious criticism of islam, are with all their political correctness, actually being non-liberal. they are defending an intolerant and extremist religion and the oppressive society that goes with it, and therefore they are not behaving as a true liberal would.
