Full Title: Leftists and Muslims enraged over Boris Johnson’s statement that Muslim world “literally centuries behind” the West
Mohammed Amin, until recently chairman of the Conservative Muslim Forum, told the newspaper Mr Johnson’s analysis risked ‘actively promoting hatred of Muslims.'
Why? Johnson’s statement — which, by the way, he made in 2007, but there is no statute of limitations on Leftist/Islamic rage — was about Islam, not Muslims. If he had said that Christianity had left South America literally centuries behind the North, he would be lauded as a courageous and clear thinker; when I was in college, which was 100 years ago, this idea was promoted matter-of-factly in classes about Latin America, and never challenged. No one said that the professors were “actively promoting hatred of Christians,” however dubious their claims.
But there is one belief system that cannot be criticized, on pain of charges of “Islamophobia.” Note that Amin doesn’t say Johnson’s analysis is false. In a world where there are Muslim countries in which non-Muslims are put to death for blasphemy, and threats are issued to radio stations for featuring female broadcasters, and women are just now getting the right to drive, and there are honor killings and mutilation of the genitals of little girls, Amin can’t truthfully say that Johnson is wrong.

Outrage! Enrage! Rage, rage, rage, rage, rage!
Anyone should be able to see this is true.
Of course, proving him wrong is out of the question, because he isn’t wrong. So... rage!
Bad Bo is right. What’s the big deal?
Of course, all the bombings and knife attacks and beheadings and car run-overs weren't the result of any Muslims "promoting hatred."
Another day, another insult to my intelligence.
Truth Hurts , expect a few attacks any day
When was the last time stoning or torture was acceptable to Jews and Christians?
I’m sure DU idiots would say the nazis. They WERE NOT Christians.
Islam is a war plan.
Islam is still in the middle ages, and insanely jealous that Christians were able to claw their way out of it.

BoJo, as he’s known, has Turkish ancestors.
As if their behavior hasn't already done that.

Yeah, about 14 centuries behind the rest of the world.
Some Muslims say/do horrible things in the name of their religion and will not renounce violence done in the name of their religion, then they are bothered that comments from Anglos could ‘actively promoting hatred of Muslims.’
See a disconnect here?
If John Dillinger continued robbing banks would anyone complain that comments made about him might actively promote hatred of bank robbers.’

I heard about that. Turkish Christians?
