I don't want anything to do with that.
Obviously, the Islamists are pushing their own ideology to replace liberalism.
But there is another ideology called Christian nationalism.
And this is the idea that you're kind of seeing somewhat in Poland, you're kind of seeing it somewhat in Hungary, is the idea that a nation makes its own personal dedication to Christ and lets that ideology filter out through all of its institutions and through all of its policies.
And a Christian way to deal with people like this is just to kick them out of the country.
I have mixed feelings about it because I don't necessarily agree with the march.
I don't necessarily agree with the march because I don't think it came from the right place.
I think it was more about sticking two fingers up to the Muslim community in Tower Hamlets than it was about celebrating Christ and Jesus and the kingdom of God.
And so for that reason, I disagreed with March.
But I also disagree with the idea that the Muslim community gets a veto like that.
But I'd also point out, this is not unheard of.
It's not unprecedented.
The police have banned other things because communities get offended.
Like the Orange Order marchers sometimes have been banned in Northern Ireland because Republican communities won't get offended.
Or there was that example of the police trying to deport someone, I think it was in Glasgow, and a whole bunch of liberals and people
surrounded the police car and then they let them go.
Or another example, when someone was getting deported on a plane and people caused chaos on the plane and then the deportee was let go so the plane could take off.
So the issue is about policing.
more than the Muslim veto, because there's other examples of the veto.
