In reply to the discussion: SPLC Disgraces Itself on Ayaan Hirsi Ali [View all]Grey Lemercier
(1,429 posts)the top slagging. I am not even particularly pro Israel. I think Netanyahu is a RW nutter, and some of what they do to the Palestinians is horrific. I just happen to also think Max Blumenthal is an anti semitic hack. It is possible to think both things. Sorry for my lack of binary thinking and refusing to be placed by you into some pre-concieved box or bin.
I see so much evil done in the name of pretty much all religions, especially the fundie versions of the 3 Abrahamic ones. I also do not like when people are so knee jerk dogmatic in their world views that they auto default to push for or against a person based on the pronouncements of an organisation (the SPLC). I also do not respect people who istantly try to lump all criticism of Islam into the RW Islamophobe category.
I am acutely aware, as a woman of colour (and thus sensitive to Ali's plight in some aspects) and as a member of the LGBTQ community of the effects of prejudice and hate, so I denounce your trying to cast shade on me in any fashion when it comes to that as well.
