We were also discussing that in the context of the situation in France. I thought that was clear. Nobody is discussing a burka ban in predominantly muslim countries as that would be frankly ridiculous.

And my response still applies, so would you like to try again?

Really? How about Morocco, Turkey, Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Congo.

While it might come as a surprise to you, more extreme expressions of Islam are not tolerated any more by moderate Muslims than by anyone else. The far right are trying to paint all Muslims as forming a homogeneous group which they can then tar with the actions of the extremists as a mechanism to stir up broader Islamophobia. You would seem to have fallen into this trap.

Allah may have burned down Notre Dame cathedral in revenge for the French Burqa ban, quips a politician in Quebec.

Given that Jihad Watch is listed as an anti-Muslim conspiracy blog, I personally wouldn't place much value on what it has to say.

Gemma O'Doherty, a woman who refers to herself as an "investigative journalist", reckons that the Obamas might have been involved:

Wow, the tinfoil is strong with her.
I don't follow much of what she believes but she seems more tinfoil then most so if we play conspiracy bingo how many does she believe from list below?

Vaccines are bad
Floride is bad
Gay people are bad
Lizard people
new world order/world government
population control/replacement
flat earth
Man never landed on the moon
Climate change is fake
Trump is great

Missing from the list are - chemtrails, anti-Soros, anti-immigrant, pro-John Waters, Obama is linked to the Notre Dame fire (see above), Sophie du Plantier was murdered by traffic gardai, Lyra McKee was "a blood sacrifice" to the "psychopathic ruling elites" (see here), strong links to jailed "anti-eviction activist" Ben Gilroy, etc, etc, etc. More here.

If Gemma's out there approving something, best to run fast in the other direction.

I'm sorry but imagine having the ability to say the Obama's were behind the Notre Dam fire and maintain a straight & deathly serious face whilst doing so.
