This is a comment that a Swede left on my video about the horror of being gay in Sweden’s muslims ghettos. I thought it was worth posting because it’s well-written and nuanced, with insight that I rarely see in the debate about immigration and regressive cultural values.
Here it goes.

For decades, the working class of Britain have been sidelined, patronised or ignored in UK politics – and seen their political voice and power all but gone. In recent months, that dormant political force in Britain has found its voice again – and the establishment is freaking out. For those with the means to appreciate it, the 90s and noughties turned […]

After a day and a half, Trumpy-the-Clown even took down that ridiculous logo twitter-world was laughing at. I wonder how much he paid for that. Or did 10 year old precocious Barron Trump draw it? Trump was right to worry about the campaign's boneheaded choice of Mike Pence as his running mate. Pence is a divisive ideologue who offers virtually nothing to the ticket except an opportunity to shore up Trump's standing with perennially unhappy hard right movement conservatives. One poll showed that Pence isn't even known at all to 86% of Americans.

An army coup in Turkey that on Friday night seemed a fait accompli swiftly lost its momentum and saw Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan come back on the scene strong as never before with allies and opponents alike rallying behind him.
However, the implications of the failed attempt to overthrow the president are going to be long-lasting, far-reaching and may yield unexpected benefits for the Turkey-Russia relationship.

The fall-out from Friday’s failed coup d’etat in Turkey has been more gruesome than many imagined, as pro-government AKP and Muslim Brotherhood supporters have taken to the streets to administer what some describe as an ‘islamofascist’ brand of justice, apparently, doing so on behalf of the ruling party.
Never has the US-led conspiracy against the sovereign state of Syria been so transparent.

There's virtually no part of Turkey I haven't visited since I was first there in 1969. I fell in love with the country, the people, the food, the history, the culture... when I was 21 and have been back over a dozen times, not just to the normal places people visit, like Istanbul, Ankara, Cappadocia, Izmir, Antalya and Bodrum, but also less-visited cities like Erdine, Trabzon, Sinop, Samsun, Kirikkale, Ezurum and Konya.
The decision to deploy the American ABM system in South Korea triggered a negative reaction in the Northeast Asia. Despite Park Geun-hye’s assurances that this measure was taken solely for the protection of South Korea and its population, and that THAAD ABM systems do not infringe upon the security of the neighboring countries, the reaction of the latter was far from approval.
