An uncompromising rant on the student political scene of today

This is what has happened to our University students.

Here's an example of one of the ways in which student politics has lost its way.

Never has the criticism of religion, especially political Islamism, been more important and necessary.

And never have we been more afraid.

The left's Muslim blindspot must be eradicated - let's look at misogyny, homophobia and antisemitism colour-blind. Muslim, or not, I don't care.

But the left does care, and they say it's a myth that some Muslims are homophobic, sexist and antisemitic.

I don't think so, and I'm a liberal that fights racism and all the other isms. That's why I focus disproportionately on Muslims, because Muslims are disproportionately antisemitic, misogynist and homophobic.

You can't argue that a religion that doesn't allow female imams isn't misogynist. While the West is making strides in equality for women, and now feminism has thus moved on to banknotes and statues outside Parliament (two prominent feminist campaigns that have happened in the UK), women are physically genitally mutilated in the Muslim world, forced to cover up by law, married at a young age (legally), have no choice about clothing, have less rights than men in marriage, are treated as properly, maritally raped legally in over ten countries (including Indonesia, home to >80m Muslim women), treated unfairly in court testimonies, not allowed to enter mosques, become imams, are beaten, whipped, lashed, violently attacked, shot for going to school, kept at home, abused, brain-washed, and more.

The statistics are startling.

Christianity does it too, but not as much, due to reform movements.

Same with Judaism (half of Jews are liberal/reform Jews).

"In Islam, men and women are equal. The racists propagate lies about the religion. Women have more rights in Islam than any other religion."

That's just one example of student politics losing its way, and being scared to challenge and hear certain opinions.

There are other examples, as I expect you will know.

Student politics is in complete disarray.

Their enthusiasm and passion for politics and global issues is being tunneled the wrong way.

I am very, very concerned about this. I am very interested in politics - but students nowadays have rebelled and protested to the point of absurdity.
