Everyone is going on about the BNP being on Question Time. I watched it, and the amount of stupid hypocrisy surrounding it has left me totally dumfounded.
Interesting to see that the homophobia of the Conservative representative, Sayeeda Warsi, was quickly brushed aside on Question Time. If we hate the BNP so much because we care about protecting minority groups from abuse, where was Sayeeda Warsi's public execution?  Or was it okay because she blatently lied about her support for civil partnerships? I mean, how uncomfortable did she look when asked about her support for past homophobic laws? Griffin didn't get away with lying about his views, so why was she allowed to mumble some bullshit about Civil Partnerships being "a right" when she is consistently against them and every other LGBT human rights law that Labour has pushed through? Sure Griffin has disgusting views, but then so are her views on homosexuality. Why when homosexuality came up did only Griffin get shit for it when she is just as fucking bad?

I was also very disappointed by Question Time taking on Islam as a matter of minority rights. Griffin is a vile, racist bastard. We are allowed to say that, and we are right in doing so. But Islamic ideology is equally bigoted if we're talking about LGBT and womens rights, and deserves to be questioned in the same mannor as BNP policies. That's not prejudice my dear friends, it's well reseached fact. But because those ideas stem from religion, and are not strictly political ideas like the BNP's, no criticism is allowed.

BNP are racist. That's a massive fucking problem. But at the same time, when someone put their hand up and asked "what's wrong with Islam?" I felt like, fuck, how long have you got?! The fact that your Bible promotes the stoning to death of LGBT people and women and that those horrors are actually practised in alot of Muslim countries? Am I the only person who sees the irony in people defending Islamic ideology as a left-wing position? Since when were race and religion as one anyway? It seems you can't be anti-religious fascism without being on a pig like Griffins side and somehow being racist against Asian people. Bullshit!! I want the right to slam the BNP's policies, and I also want the right to slam Islamic policies too because I find both equally disgusting. I can be against Islam and not against Asians in the same way that I am against Christianity without hating white people. Just because the BNP ties in racism with being anti-Islam, it doesn't mean that I have to. I despise racism, I abhore it. But I am also a feminist and believe in LGBT rights too, and I won't turn a blind eye and put Islamic ideas in the same basket as other left-wing, human rights causes.

I liked that Griffin got a bollocking. But I thought it was lame that no-one dared question Sayeeda Warsi or Islamic homophobia too. We live in very sad, blinded, choose-your-corner times and I'm almost tempted to be all Daily Mail and say "It's political correctness gone mad!". But not that tempted.
