    Its absurd - Western democracy is based on the concept of respect for individual liberty. By definition those who want to force religious beliefs on others through physical violence (LAW - Sharia Law in this case) hate individual liberty. They might as well have it stamped on their foreheads.

    Why would a nation founded on (such as the US) or principled on (such as western democracy) even let such people into the country - never mind show respect towards this evil ideology ?

    Well that really throws a spanner in the works... marketers use demographic profiling to target shoppers most likely to purchase their products

    We were warned in the 20th century ... “1984”, Fahrenheit 451”, “Animal Farm”, “Atlas Shrugged”, etc.

    But here we go, headed toward a dystopian future. I’m glad I’m 57 and won’t be around when the sh-t really hits the fan.

    No one is forcing Sharia law on anyone.
    It is a voluntary arbitration service similar to talking to your priest for help with a failing marriage.
    So forcing religious beliefs through violence is uninformed nonsense or deliberate misrepresentation.

    I did not claim that the UK was forcing Sharia on people. Quit building strawmen so you have something to attack.

    This is what happens when a world of "alternative facts" and fictionalized reality takes presidence over actual reality and day to day living. In other words, this is a long time in the making and has been in place, the basis of fictionalized reality and alternate facts, that has led to political correctness and pseudo claims of "discrimination".

    Discrimination:
    1a - prejudice or prejudicial outlook, action, or treatment
    1b - the act, practice, or an instance of discriminating categorically rather than individually

    2 - the quality or power of finely distinguishing

    3a - the act of making or perceiving a difference; the act of discriminating
    3b - psychology the process by with two stimuli differing in some aspect are responded to differently

    See, discrimination is not necessarily a negative thing; we ALL discriminate in various circumstances.

    I had bacon on my Alexa shopping list. I get to the bacon section and "discriminate" as to which brand I will purchase. I need to go shopping, there is a democrat predominantly black, black democrat government city that borders mine, I "discriminately" not shop there because because unlike in the 60's when I was a child and was dragged along with my mother on shopping trips there and we bought lots of stuff it is now a crime infested, boarded up storefronts run down city. No tax base anymore because of the crime. There is an interstate spur that runs through it and every time I use it I look down on Wilson Ave. and remember when we used to shop there but now I wouldn't dare got there for fear of a crime being committed against me.

    No, she refused to abort. That's not progressive. The commercial must be banned.

    Cultural Marxist Ideological Subversion.
    Replace the host culture with a destructive one. Suppress and silence the opposition.

    Host Culture, are you talking about being a host, as in personal hospitable acumen, or is this another example of some fictional and imaginary "example of greatness"? Most time, those who deem themselves as host or hostess and nothing more than honey trappers seeking to use whatever is available as lure for those susceptible to such allurements and intrigues. As an example, Ghislaine Maxwell and her lover Jeffery Epstein; Ghislaine preyed upon runaway and/or rebellious teens of boy sexes with modelling help and other "promises" of relief. Sounds predatory to me, then again what do I know?

    Leftists are the book burners of the 21st century.

    Censorship is their friend.
