From the far right publication of the Guardian:https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...ity-sharia-law -50% of all UK muslims think homosexuality should be illegal. -23% want Sharia law in UK.

The parent of a Muslim student asked that a “obviously homosexual” (their phrase ugh!) be removed from their son’s accommodation. The Uni in question (in the south of the country) is actually thinking about how to reply. I know “f**k off bigot” is uncool but apparently there are staff who want to allow it.

I think it's pretty bad to force acceptance on to others... As long, as they're not seeking to discriminate, or cause nasty things to happen, there's no harm with being separated from each other, even if that's based on sexual preferences. We often still separate based on gender/sex, and find it acceptable. (And yes, being Bisexual since my teens I have a fair understanding of what actual discrimination or hate is like. I just think forcing acceptance tends to lead to a major pushback) I understand your pov, but honestly, I don't see a problem with the request... as long as the gay guy isn't being penalised in some way. Many universities control the allocation of rooms in certain establishments, especially when sponsorship or grants are concerned.

If the request is granted the gay student would be financially worse off and likely inconvenienced. Plus why should one person with Stone Age views be allowed to demand who lives in a building ??? Can you imagine if a Galway lad said he didn’t want to live with a Muslim??? It’s be the subject of a Claire Byrne!!

Yet they make up 22% of the female prison population they account for 15% of the male prison population. These are the stats I referred to.

On the one hand, they want to embrace same-sex marriage / lesbians, etc., yet at the same time, they wish to welcome, and accomodate people who have no time for homosexuality. Tricky.

I'm happy to do this, primarily to support my family, but also because I see myself as a stakeholder, contributing to the betterment of Irish society. I'm in no way unique; my situation is replicated in tens of thousands of households across the country. I'd like to ask you a direct question if I may. Can you provide a short, numbered list (say 1-3 or 1-5) of the tangible benefits I and my family accrue from multiculturalism? I'd really appreciate a few line items, listing the rewards both individuals and Irish society can expect to reap.

The Irish people in a clear majority, one of the highest in any vote in recent decades, rejected this legislation, legislation that no other EU nation has, legislation that is ripe for exploitation and was exploited in the past. When you consider that the vast majority of those who settled here on the back of that loophole would be refused entry today it makes no sense. Never mind that it was rejected at the height of an economic boom when people tend to be more open to such things, yet with one hard economic landing behind us and a highly likely recession because of the pandemic they're pushing to retract that decision without putting it to the Irish people? Never mind part two that the usual "reason" given is we need more people, when Ireland has the highest birth rate in the EU. I would love to hear what their reasoning behind this push is.

It's not exactly a great list of positives for the politic itself and as you've pointed out Japan doesn't suffer because of its lack of "diversity" and neither do the rest of the East Asian nations, who for the most part have resisted this politic. I don't see fear, what I see is old style European orientalism, the fascination with the exotic, a fascination that is centuries old.
