"Gesture of inclusion"? That's rich. They'll "gesture" you .... show you your head.

How long before the non-jihhad-style uniform is banned, and the jihhad-style uniform is made mandatory for everyone?

How is that supposed to work ...?

Cultural suicide. Satan’s modus operandi is convincing his victims to destroy themselves. His temporary joy is having as many people as possible share his eternal misery. The self-destruction of the Christian West must bring him great satisfaction.
