    Being concerned about Muslim extremeism != racism. You’re the reason people like geert are winning. People are tired of bad faith arguments with the left in which common sense is called racism.

      Common sense is not boiling hundreds of years worth of geopolitics into a single talking point and acting like you’ve somehow solved all problems in an area if we just somehow did this one thing.

      In fact, the extremism you are talking about is largely due to foreign countries destabilizing regions around the world that happen to be majority Muslim countries.

      You’d respond the same way if a handful of countries showed up at your doorstep, set up military bases, bombed your neighbors, friends, and family, and then toppled your government causing wide spread famine, inflation, and collapse of your economy.

      Honestly, how could you not end up hating someone for doing that?

        The lack of self awareness is hilarious. You are literally proving my point. “Everyone who doesn’t agree with my extremely ideology is a racist”

      Says the apologist repeating some of the rhetoric Wilders and his voters use to try and convince non-islamophobes to vote and behave like islamophobes.

      No I am not and right wing nuts blaming the left for even more extreme right wing nuts is just an obvious lie.

      The empirically proven truth is though, that people like Wilders, LePen, Farage, Trump, Höcke etc. are successful because their inflammatory racist rhetoric gets echoed by stupid “centrists” that care more about fighting the left than the right.

      People like you.

      But I understand that it feels much better for you to blame lefty people that you don’t like anyway.
