    it's a scandal that brave Maryam Namazie is intimidated & censored by leftists (the opposite of true progressives).http://gu.com/p/4d9d5/stw

        @sapinker Did you hear her on Sam Harris' podcast? Sounds like a blueprint apologist to me.

        @sapinker She may be brave, but she is also foolish in some respects. She said Israel is committing genocide (apparently doing a poor job).

        @guitarmac505 @sapinker So anyone who criticises both the West and Islamists is a "regressive"? This name-calling has gone too far.

        @sapinker @CHSommers I don't think it's fair to say that about all leftists. I'm one and I hate this PC nonsense.

        @sapinker She is brave but it's a pity she undoes so much good by being quick to accuse anyone who disagrees with her of being a bigot.

        @sapinker actually quite in keeping with historical actions of progressives for more than a century worldwide.

        @sapinker it's utterly obvious that speaking of Islam's ills is 'hate speech'. But hammer Christians and Jews & you're 'intellectual'

        @sapinker I wish leftists were the opposite of true progressives. The farther left one goes, the more progressive one becomes.
