Now clearly LGFs is not a particularly pleasant site, but that does not need to concern us now. What should concern us is this quote from Solent 'I think a great deal of LGF's enormous hit rate comes from the fact that violence by Muslims is played down by the media. People read the papers and find stories tucked away in corners that they know perfectly well would be spread across the front page if a non-Muslim person or country did the same thing.'.
I find it remarkable that in this day and age people still believe this sort of thing. That somehow the 'Power-that-Be' are deliberately hiding stories about Muslims, which if they were about us -- THE WHITE POPULATION -- they would be all over the papers. Note the beautiful use of the phrase 'know perfectly well'. How, how, how do people 'know perfecftly well' that such stories would be all over the front page if they wre non-Muslims?
Of course they don't know anything of the sort. Yet this kind of nonsense is what you get from the RIght these days. It's strange, they've won every political battle of the last 25 years yet they still see themselves as part of a group discriminated against and generally persecuted.
The high priest of this world view is Robin Page, a Telegraph columinist and man of extreme views on everything, who can't make a speech about government policy in the countryside without saying that he has less rights than blacks, or gays or lesbians or even one-legged black, gay, lesbians. He's never managed to produce any evidence of this, mainly because he knows that it's not true, yet he still trots it out day after day.
