Are you saying this is good, or is it a bad thing?

Huh?

Anyway, how they know the guy is far-right:

“ More than 300 rioters threw stones at police and burned tyres in the southern Swedish city on Friday night after a video circulated of followers of the far-right Danish politician Rasmus Paludan burning a copy of the Qur’an near one of the city’s mosques.”

If a 6 year old draws a picture of Mohamed with crayons they lose their minds so imagine their outrage over this? Reminds me of liberals.

The left has gone out of their way to defend Islam (I think it has something to do with a shared antisemitism), so that reminder isn't surprising.

Some. There's this new age crap that's coming out where they act like Jesus is their best friend. They don't talk about evil, they don't talk about anything that makes them uncomfortable, it's all feel good crap, and they welcome every single person's ideas and beliefs.

Or, in the words of The Big Bang Theory's Mary Cooper: "Next thing you know, you're in a church with a guitar."

Preachers like John MacArthur have been fighting the liberals. He's an aplogist, however, but he has a huge following and that means his church has the money to fight.

Smaller churches do not support this crap, they just don't have the means to fight it, publicly. All they can do is go on doing what they've been doing - and that's going to have to be enough.

I wonder if they are still Charlie? The staff of Charlie-Hebdo republished the controversal editorial toons of Mohammed 5 years after the shootings of 2015 from what I read on the French article from the French newspaper Le Monde. https://www.lemonde.fr/actualite-med...0580_3236.html
