This woman is exactly the kind of shill those opposed to Islamic imperialism can do without. If she cannot re-examine her own views or even contain herself, she will bring only alienation and infighting anywhere she goes.

The proof of that is that the video has only 339 views, and only 2 messages, 10 and 11 months ago.

[Kurtlane]

There is a different colonialism here: Islamic colonialism and imperialism over Western Europe. But it seems like she (with millions of others) is too locked into the past to imagine that Western Europe itself colonized.

She doesn't even have the courage to name a spade a spade and say the word "Islam." Instead, she talks about "fundamentalism." Listening to speech like this, one expects her at any moment to switch to beat-up horse of attacking Christians and Catholics.

Notice that she names it "neo-colonialism." "Neo-colonialism" is a term to argue that Western colonialism is alive today and all changes of the last 100 years are fig leaves. "Neo-colonialism" itself is a perfect fig leaf for every 3rd world dictatorship justifying any atrocity it commits.

"Cut our funding?" She means her group gets funding from the very government she denounces at every step? Why is the government funding her at all? Why is she accepting government money? The whole thing reeks with such enormous hypocrisy, not even the cry of "GIVE MONEY TO US, NOT THEM!!!" can hide it.

[Kurtlane]

It would be a good speech if she weren't so anti-capitalist, anti-Western, anti-British, (and very probably anti-male and anti-white (notice her group is called "Southhall Black Sisters")).

She cannot help herself but start with "the notion of equality is such an empty shell in any case in a capitalist state."

Oh, really?
