@coldjoint,
Quote:I think he is a terrified apologist. As far as being a supporter? He is an enabler sending out a message to Islam that there a no men left in the UK, so do what you will and please eat me last.
Although you believe we've spoken enough about Izzy, I've thought about your quote above, and I don't think 'terrified apologist' explains it.
Even apologists will condemn terrorism - they just excuse it by putting a different slant on the the driving forces behind it. The format for apologists is "
Yes, but...<apology>"
All apologists, when faced with ongoing evidence contrary to their stance, feel the need to to acknowledge ongoing evidence that is contrary to their beliefs (to not do so is fundamentally delusional), but continue to offer excuses.
Izzy has never followed the above format of an apologist. He:
- won't even acknowledge an islamist terrorism event.
- won't condemn islamist terrorism
- won't speak of the ideology that they claim motivates them
On the other side, Izzy:
- will only condemn violence in/by the west
- will shout vitriol at anyone who condems Islamist Terrorism
What other conclusion is there, but that he supports such terrorism.
I still think it's a sad thing, this sort of blind hatred and bias. It drives wedges between societies, fosters ongoing violence, and prevents solutions from being reached. Only open acknowledgement of the issues has any hope of reaching a peaceful solution. That last may be me just being hopeful. I've never been sure of that (but surer of that than any other way).
