Islamophobes 'r' us

You could say that about any action, it is completely meaningless.

Since I wasn't there, I deduced that Durruti's audience would have been from a christian background, hence the choice of revolutionary praxis was relevant to Durruti's semantic field.
Yeah, I'm sure Durruti was deliberately trying to evoke Christian imagery in order to draw people towards his STRONGLY ANTI-CLERICAL MOVEMENT THAT WAS WAGING WAR AGAINST AN ENEMY BACKED BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Considering that Durrutti was a native Spanish speaker, it is somewhat unlikely that he deliberately chose to use a phrase that translates into modern English as a similar phrase to one used in the Bible, once, talk about Anglocentrism, fucking hell :rolleyes:

But what about racist attacks against Muslims made under the pretence of criticising religion? Isn't the fact that Islamophobia has become one of the main tools of the racist right a good reason to counter it?
Thats just collapsing two things into each other, because you can only think it nice easy big terms. What are you saying, that CW is so redundent that all it achieves now is propping up s racist right. If they are any use, then perhaps they could only be so with condemning religion.

You can still show someone solidarity and insist that they must wear different clothes (Not "We will not continue to be your friend unless you stop wearing banadanas", but "We will continue to be your friend, but we will always oppose you wearing bandanas, to the point of setting fire to all your bandanas if we get the oppurtunity"). Bandanas.

Man, that sounds irrelevent.
