Brit youths turning to fascism?
One queer's opinion:
When real life seems dismal or frightening, insecure persons may turn to religious hatred and totalitarianism, hoping for utopia.

[ report on Brit men
being trained as jihadis in Lahore]
"The accents were from the north of England,
but the ideology was al Qaeda lite.
It was hard to know whether the scruffy, earnest, hostile young men crowded into
a smelly flat in the eastern Pakistan city of Lahore
were really dangerous or just playing at being jihadis.
They didn't look like ruthless terrorists. [.....] "

Non-objective commentary by
a queer "kufr" ( = kafir [ = infidel] ) :
Raised in secular Britain,
some young straight men turn toward
religious fascism --
seeking a totalitarian state
with subjugation of women
and death for queers;
and with no freedom of speech,
no freedom of the press,
no freedom of belief or unbelief....
If these guys are "progressives",
then so is Fred Phelps....

the extremely puritanical Wahhabi sect of Islam.
Wahhabism is the "established" sect in Saudi Arabia;
and uses oil money to spread its extremist doctrines
around the world.
And how are queers
treated in Saudi Arabia,
where Wahhabism rules?
