You hear more and more people using phrases such as "we dont have any (human) rights back in Tehran/Sudan/Saudi so why should we let them have them here" or "I can't practice my religion iin Saudi/Sudan/Iran so why should Muslims be able to hear the Azaan in Oxford" etc etc.

Both of which, as I wrote a couple of days ago, are the same as saying 'I don't want to live in a democracy any more'. It's toddler thinking and you don't have to dig very far to reveal contradictions. My current favourite is:
If we can't talk about Muslims for fear of upsetting them, because an all-powerful PC brigade is stopping us, why are we talking about Muslims all the time, usually in response to a negative story in the (Ex)press, which is clearly not being stopped from upsetting Muslims. This therefore proves that there is no all-powerful PC brigade stopping us from talking about and upsetting Muslims. QED, thank you and good night.
Given the prevalence of psychological projection as a mental condition (where you put all your fears and secret desires onto an enemy, like all those repressed gay Republicans) perhaps they secretly want to live in a nice, safe totalitarian dictatorship?
Going back a bit, this is nothing new, the Greenham protestors used to be told to go and live in Russia by ranting right-wingers all the time - later we found that Reagan's posturing and missile waving had spooked the Soviets into considering a first strike, thinking that Ron was serious, so the wimmin had a point.
Anyway, what's wrong with Saudi Arabia? Monarchy, respect for religion and family, death penalty, low crime, no drunken louts - Daily Mail heaven.
