All the economic, psychological and social damage done in Middle East can not possibly lead to an unhealthy generation and it is all the few quotes from Ibn Taimiyah and Qutb to blame, but the fascist far right? Oh their fear is justified. They haven’t seen a burqa before!

So a century of wars, dictatorships, displacement, genocide and inequality in the Middle East mean mean nothing but someone losing his job or his angst over losing his job is enough a reason to become a racist fascist!

Isn’t it bizzare that the same people who have been rejecting the socioeconomic factors of radicalisation of Muslim youth are now embracing wholeheartedly the ‘white man anxiety’ and economic troubles argument when trying to explain the rise of the far right?

Liberals and the left should rescue themselves from their self-made hell. While the Westren left is tearing itself apart on whether saying meow may hurt cat’s feelings or not, the fascists are taking on real power in real world posing real danger.

Labour needs to solve its problems whatever they are but a the prospect of a possible Boris Johnson primiershio or any other right wing nutter should be enough an incentive not to tear Labour apart.

The anti-Semitisn row in Labour is the British equivalent of Hillary Clinton’s emails. Was it important? Yes. Had she made mistakes? Yes. Should she have been investigated? Yes. But was it handled well by media? No. Was it worth making Trump president? Absolutely not.

Nechirvan Barzani, whom I guess is a mature politician, knows: - Geography matters. US comes and goes, Iran will stay. - Iranian threats matter more than American promises. - If someone betrayed your dad, your grandad and your uncle, chances are they will betray you too.https://twitter.com/VP/status/1039234577951350785 …

Dear @jeremycorbyn! You know more than anyone else how a Baathist regime can use chemical weapons to mass murder civilians. You know Halabja. You know Kurds. Please don’t allow such voices in your party. Labour should be on the side of the victims not dictators.https://twitter.com/EmilyThornberry/status/1039192457429348354 …

If Mike Pence was born in Egypt, he would have been a member of the Muslim Brotherhood or even the more extremist groups. But he would also have been removed in a US approved military coup if he was ever elected into office.

Pence is only a step away from presidency but he doesn’t need presidency to do the damage. He has already done lots of damage in Middle East and elsewhere around the world all guided by a political ideology that is inspired by a peculiar interpretation of Christianity

The ethnic-nationalism of 1930s Europe at least was genuine. The guys were genuinely crazy. They were seriously nationalist nutters. This new wave of far right is fake. The only thing real about them is their love of Putin.

The gutless hypocrites on the far right in Britain are silent on the Russian attack on their county. Not only that, they continue to spread Russian propaganda. Then they shamelessly make questioning British Muslims belonging a matter of national debate.

The far right hates immigrants but not the immigration crisis. If they cared about Europe, they would be pressuring their boss Putin to stop Idlib offensive because that means another refugee crisis. But no, they are busy praising Putin/Assad!https://twitter.com/iyad_elbaghdadi/status/1039043954103279617 …
