Thats fine. You certainly dont have to agree with me.

But the growth of anti-immigrant (anti-Muslim) political parties in Europe and the anti-Muslim rhetoric of the conservative candidates and blogger all have many followers.

And the more they are not called out for their rhetoric, the more they become acceptable.

I could be wrong, but I suspect they have equally (easily) as many people who recognise their work for what it is.

The world is not a simple place. Change takes time, but I choose to believe it's happening. Probably not fast enough, but that's the way it goes.
