My Comment:
I debated Charlie Wolf, U.S. British-based radio broadcaster, talk show host and writer for the (Daily) Mail Online’s ‘Right Minds’ page, on the topic of whether or not Donald Trump should be banned from the UK for his perceived Muslim baiting.
I highlighted the hypocrisy of the claims of ‘free speech’ when many peaceful, non-violent, non-inciting Muslim speakers have been banned from both the UK and USA, yet ‘Free Speech’ champions are happy to accept Donald Trump into the UK to ‘listen to what he has to say’.
I also highlight how the focus on the ‘threat from Muslims’ is overblown and dangerous political rhetoric, which is made clearer by the comparison to the more significant phenomena of mass-shootings that occur almost daily in the USA.
