What exactly did she say? All I've gotten so far from this is that she doesn't support gay marriage, thinks people wearing burkas look like ninjas and bank robbers, and that she doesn't think it's a good idea to travel to Muslim-majority countries.
What's the big deal? I think people who go out in public wearing sweat pants look like lazy chavs. Opinion of someone's dress is not illegal and making light of it sure as hell shouldn't be either. Religious dress isn't beyond criticism and ridicule. Wear what you want. I'll think what I want.
I myself would probably avoid most Muslim-majority countries and I'd tell all my friends to do so as well (knowing who my friends are) and it doesn't have anything to do with them being Muslim-majority but more to do with who I am and how I live (I'd go to Turkey, Lebanon and Morrocco any day of the week, for example).
As for gay marriage, we're not allowed dissenting thought on the subject? Do we expect all our politicians to follow a certain thought orthodoxy?
It's the disturbing arrogance of those who choose to police thought in this way that has lead to the massive political backlash we've seen in liberal democracies, the world over.
I don't want everyone thinking the same way as me. That would be beyond soul-destroying and disturbing.
I am usually in agreement with most of what the PC thought police (that's politically correct, not Progressive Conservative, whose thought police I also despise) are defending but this shit is getting out of hand.
So, yeah, what exactly did she say that was so horrible?
PS: I can't believe I'm standing up for a sex-ed troglodyte.
