Why should America's obsession with affirmative action for Muslims and Blacks result in globally disseminated "diversity programs"?

The merry-go-round of the pro-immigration establishment in the UK is insane when you consider that not only are most British people opposed to immigration, but also that the majority of non-whites (at least the non muslim) in the UK are also opposed to immigration (non-muslim ethnic minorities have been opposed to immigration for at least a decade, and I believe even a few polling now shows Muslims swinging in favour of anti-immigration policies). This has to be the only policy that has come of the Conservatives which is actually anti-immigration and hence I support it. If the UK wanted to leave the EU because of immigration and the migration crisis, then why is the Conservative party not doing more to tackle immigration and migration? Canada recently stopped giving out student visas like candy and maybe the UK should do the same too.

Higher minimum wage often has the effect of raising the cost of living as well so I wonder whether this really helps anyone.

It's generally an accurate estimate but obviously natural disasters and other issues might delay the packet, as would flying to your lawyer in person. I believe DHL even offers compensation on certain service levels.

A ban on any lithium ion batteries would have widespread consequences since I don't think it would be acceptable to store them in the hold baggage area either.

There is a sign in Chinese that looks like one for a mobile phone vendor, and the phones have stickers on the back of them so they are either for sale or unused bought phones. Surely it is a vendor who forgot a bag of phones?

Arabs are famous for random-ass crimes in Europe so I would not be surprised if the same was happening in other parts of the world: the region is a major source for drugs and gangs that operate in Europe, which is on top of the religious and culture wars that happen in the Middle East as well.

A lot of the journalists at The Telegraph are left-wing. In fact there is a dearth of right wing journalists in much of the western world it seems and even in India.

When you couple that with the situation in British India then it certainly seems much more related with the Muslim cause. You forget that the British were heavily influenced by the geopolitics of India at the time as well. Anti-semitism may have been rife but that was always coupled with Islamophobia.

There was a moment in history where it seemed that young people would switch towards supporting Palestine and Muslims, but nowadays it seems that the young people are more likely to simply stop symbolically supporting Israel because they don't want to be seen as politically incorrect, but refrain from being supportive of the Arabs because they don't actually support the Arabs (i.e. they still support the right of Israel to defend itself but want to be symbolically politically correct).

Why do you consider the Arabs to be the victims of oppressions when it's traditionally and continues to be the the Arabs being the oppressors? They are also the ones being racist against numerous groups including Jews, Asians and Blacks? In fact countries under Islamic rule are one of the few places where White people get racism as well. Can you name a European country that has gone on to colonise other countries since WWII? The Arabs certainly had imperialist ambitions up until at least WWI so the gap of the interwar period is not sufficient to placate your argument that European imperialism was somehow worse than Arab imperialism. Israel has been there since ancient times. Do you think that Black Americans or Native Americans should have rights in the US? The same applies to Israel and Jews.

It has. The US, Europe and India all have left-leaning media establishments that are broadly pro-Muslim.

I'd like to see you replace all the "white" and "jew" hate messages that anti-colonialists, anti-hindus and anti-islamophobes write and aim them at Arabs instead. We can have entire political movements across the western world demeaning the Muslims. "Free Israel from the river to the sea" etc... The Arabs are the instigators in all of these conflicts. To say that they are the victims is basically says they are the victims of their own actions.

Having seen how the situation in South Asia unfolds and how western media deal with Muslims, I sympathise with the Israeli efforts to assert itself. Too many people have this idea that the Arabs do no wrong when in fact the Arabs have been worse than Europeans in most negative issues such as imperialism and racism etc...

What I find so hard to understand is how did global media get so left-leaning and pro-Muslim (maybe anti-Islamophobia might be a better term)? It seems that the media environment in every country throughout the world where there are large populations of Muslims has a bias towards Muslims, even in India which the western NGOs love to attack as being undemocratic. How is it that there are so few to no journalists working for mainstream media who have any sort of understanding about what the normal person on the street thinks, or is it simply that the mainstream media is actually left-leaning?
