Unfortunate Misunderstanding

[mudskipper]

As they should be. However I would be vary of the motives of some people using this inmportant issue for their own ends

I'd agree with that.

And this is why I say thank God for the ECHR. Any will that is based on Sharia principals and tries to impose gender discrimination will be thrown out by the wise judges in Strasbourg.

You think ?

In left wing political correctness muslim rights trump anything else

Why would this be any different ?

Actually, that is a right wing fantasy but thanks for the irony.

Yep, for blinkered lefties, it goes like this:

Minority = good
Majority = bad
Non-heteros = good
Heterosexuals = bad
Wimmin = good (even if not an actual minority)
Men - bad
Palestinians - good
Israel - bad
Muslims - good
Jews - bad

Only it's not really political correctness. These attitudes have been around for a long time, long before PC came from the US, where democrats are still far more right wing than the lefties here.

Of course, the knee jerk right-wingers have their own prejudices.

It reminds me of a conversation I had some year's ago with a friend's dad, a very wealthy guy with a massive apartment in Manhattan. He whined about how he was discriminated against as a straight white man, but he found it curiously hard to explain in what way this discrimination manifested itself and in what we way he suffered as a result.

Ah that's easy. As a rich white christian male married heterosexual I suffer because I don't get any positive discrimination.

His employer would probably rather employ a chocolate teapot than him

Your supernatural fantasies have official status so stop complaining.

You would know all about being in a minority. The intelligent one in a sea of cretins.

Oh wise one - tell us what to think.
