Bari Weiss proclaims she is proud to share a stage & show admiration to Ayaan Hirsi Ali - whose hatred for & enmity against the faith of Islam is so deep that she believes Muslims must be crushed militarily & in all forms

Appalling (albeit unsurprising) Image
It's difficult to believe Weiss is unaware of Hirsi Ali's longstanding and public hate for mainstream (not "radical") Islam & advocacy for racism targeting Muslims

reason.com/2007/10/10/the… ImageImage
Hirsi Ali calls Islam "the new fascism" & "a destructive, nihilistic cult of death"

ICYMI: here is Hirsi Ali claiming Biden is enforcing Sharia law & that the Muslim Brotherhood is secretly writing Biden's talking points

ICYMI: Hirsi Ali wrote to the Sunday Times to defend Starkey after his racist comments, calling them merely "unfortunate", his broader argument "the correct one" & saying an apology should suffice

Unsurprisingly, she believes in no consequences for racism

What Hirsi Ali promotes, is typical far right propaganda

And those who promote her, like Weiss here, should be in no doubt they are promoting far right ideas.

What's so frustrating, is often they *know* her views & despite them (or even because of them), promote her!

Shawcross said: “..Islam is one of the greatest, most terrifying problems of our future. I think all European countries have vastly, very quickly growing Islamic populations"

He supported torture & the worst breaches of law in the "War on Terror"

One wonders why bother....
For those who want to see more about Shawcross and what he thinks, see this thread & it may make sense why there are few worse or more frightening people to have this role

I have had messages saying things like:

"This can't be true, they don't hate us that much do they?"

"This is truly frightening"

"This must be a kite flying exercise"

"They can't be doing this intentionally"

I guess the government genuinely doesn't care.

Here is a little on their promotion / praise of the far right/neo-Nazis

On the day the "think tank" he is Director of Policy is at (Quilliam), has its report on gang-related CSE (used by the far right) so clearly debunked *again*, you'd have thought he might have some humility.

But instead there is silence.
ICYMI:

Quilliam: there is an over-representation of (South) Asian men in group-based child sexual exploitation crimes
quilliaminternational.com/press-release-…

Home Office: “it is not possible" to make that conclusion
At the time, expert Dr @DrEllaC highlighted the "sheer intellectual dishonesty & irresponsibility of releasing this tripe badged as “evidence”"

The blind spot Baldét and other pro-Prevent propagandists have, is they don't seem to have a clue why Palestinians might find it wholly offensive to be in such a presentation.

Why is "vocal support for Palestine" even relevant to be in such a presentation?
The context matters.

This is not out of the blue....there are many cases where being vocally pro-Palestinian has led to accusations of extremism

aljazeera.com/features/2015/…
This case study is on Prevent For Schools where discussing Palestine was deemed relevant.

After Julie Burchill's Islamophobia towards @AyoCaesar, she appears to have lost her book contract

It appears her publisher realised the risk to its reputation to be associated with her racism & that Burchill may cross the line again during book promotion
