General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

It's really really ignorant to not know that was going to cause offence to Μuslims. The reason it was so well know is the riots it caused. So I think he knew he was going to cause offence.
And it's not just Muslims, there are plenty of dangerously crazy christians (too much of the US!). I'd wonder if it was monotheism being fundamentalist, but then there crazy Hindus and Buddhists and everything else. I think it's just humans. Especially in groups/mobs.
