    It's an anti-Muslim move, they're trying to appease the far right lunatics, it's going to happen more and more across all the Western world.

    The evil US lot (Kochs/Bannon/Cambridge Analytica/Thiel/etc...) social media brainwashing, aided by Putin, have completely ruined politics. A large % of the population are gullible idiots...

    It's not as if Muslims are going to quietly disappear into the sunset, or move to another planet.

    Hate to say it, but if this spreads as you suggest it can only end badly for all concerned. :(

    There are dozens of investigations into all aspects of it. The GOP are working hand-in-hand with Putin, loopy Christians in the US are pushing their beliefs on gullible Europeans, European far right parties are funded by US and Putin, pro-Brexit lot the same, Tufton Street and Tories same, Reform now, etc...

    The main aim seems to be creating division and doubt in the minds of Western civilians. Covid, politics, gender stuff and the environment are just some of the obvious ones. Opinions are made by a mix of bots pushing an agenda (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, etc...), buying out politicians and 'celebrities' to push certain messages, buying newspapers to push an agenda, emphasising certain events to ensure people are confused about the actual impact of them (small boats, transgender people, etc...), weaponising migration, sponsoring wars...(meant to be working so going to stop now).

    Hypernormalisation by Adam Curtis touches upon this, but they've taken it much much further now. Doubt things will improve until we have either another world war or some massive civil wars...

    I just want to retire in a village in France and escape it all <laugh>

    Thing is: all of this **** was plainly obvious to anyone with one iota of a remotely curious disposition.
