The Great Douglas Murray: Lying and Getting Away With It = UPDATED

A great little essay on Gatestone from Douglas Murray.

"Lying and Getting Away With It"

On the festering decline in the UK he notes: 

"British universities are breeding-grounds of the most appalling hatred against America, the UK, Israel, free-thinkers, "apostates" and religious and sexual minorities. It also spurs a realization that terrorism is never enough steps away from student Islamic societies as it is from, say student Labour Party clubs or any chosen sports society. What comes next is worse. It is that organizations and individuals who lie and lie and lie again can – in this situation – get away with it." 

Don't let anyone "get away with it".

That's a very good lesson for today.

UPDATE:

Compare and contrast. Apparently, extremism is in the eye of the beholder. 

It's only extreme if you are not Muslim.

It's only hate speech if you are an infidel.
