Can someone explain what the issue is with applying a final solution to islamic terrorists?
Because that isn't what she said.
Indeed. She didn't say who she was referring to. But the tweet came within a discussion about Islamic terrorism. So the generous interpretation is to say that's who she was referring to.
I agree in isolation, but you could also look at her wider tweets and articles and see she takes great issue with Muslims, not just limited to Daesh.

Scientifically / genetically no. Legally, yes.
Is that actually true? Seems ridiculous to suggest that someone could change their race.
Under UK law, discriminating against Muslims, Jews or whatever would be classed as racism. But of course a belief system isn't actually a race. You get black Jews in Africa and blond Jews in Sweden. They are clearly not the same race.
Surely it depends on what race they identify with? smile

Lots of people dislike Muslims, Jews, gays, etc. But there's a bit of a stretch between disliking a group and wanting to carry out a policy of genocide upon them.

It's not much of a stretch when post "final solution".

Personally, I think she's lucky. I didn't agree with Liam Stacey's conviction (and I knew he was a prick before that night), but he got a lot worse punishment for some tweets.

A final solution for what group though? Islamic terrorists, of Muslims in general?

The Nazi Final Solution was about a group in general.

She didn't specify either way, but the topic of conversation was specifically about about Islamic terrorists so why immediately assume she was suggesting that all followers of Islam should be killed?

Because as I said before, her wider history of posts have included posts against Islam on the whole. It's not a difficult connection to make, but a connection that has to be implied, hence the mess she's in but not upto her neck in.

I am guessing, Issac, that you are less than middle aged. No one of my age would not know what the final solution was.

For what it's worth, I think KH is just too knuckle draggingly ignorant to be able to edit her own thoughts before spilling them onto the page

I'd guess the opposite that he's of almost pensionable age.
As for KH, the whole of her persona relies on spouting 'controversial' rubbish, for consumption by serial failures. Just like Farage, she knows who her audience is.

Comprehension snafu there. The full stop indicates the meaning was Farage knows his audience, not Farage is a serial failure as per the previous sentence in that post. Therefore, your response is a bit cringy in context.

P.s. A politician who's tried & failed seven times to gain a seat at Westminster is what in your view?

What is my 'listed occupation' telling you (who is 'us' btw, which group do you belong to, or speak for?) about 'my stance' (I'm a southpaw, if that helps) and political leanings?

I'm totally shocked by the fact that someone like you is agreeing with stuff that KH spouts. Like totally.

Exactly. The answer to that question will never come from any of them here. They have no answer.
