‘Right-wing governments’ aren’t the reason Egypt and Turkey rejected gay travelers. But many Westerners insist that every foreign vice is caused by colonialism, writes Douglas Murray. thefp.com/p/douglas-murr…

@TheFP An aversion to the normalisation of LGBT is not in itself a "vice" (although the Islamic approach is nasty).

Douglas Murray's argument raises an interesting question. In many Muslim-majority countries there is no lenient, humanistic majority, similar to the majority in the West, that is, a majority willing to accommodate all sorts of movements. Their (Islamic world) social fabric and religious outlook is a stonewall when it comes to minorities’ demands that set sexuality and genders as their raison d’être. I wonder, though, if there may not be another possibility? Could it be that these Islamic societies fear the consequences? May they have realised that every social movement, however well intentioned, extracts something valuable from society-and that not all of them give something equally valuable in return? The west, of course, in its self-destructive, semi-apocalyptic existential attitude, doesn't seem to care about getting something precious back from minorities. The liberal world thinks that change, every change, is progress.

@TheFP No Islam is the reason Egypt and Turkey rejected gay travelers

@TheFP Many westerners are third world mind raped morons who think the cure to inequality somehow lies in the most inequal places on earth

@TheFP Dems keep populating themselves with people who align with Muslims or are.

@TheFP Well said.
