And excellent column, Tabatha. I love all the pop culture references. Alas, I suspect most of your critics won't catch them as I doubt they follow culture, pop or otherwise.

Islamophobia is real. And, as we are now seeing in the USA, it was mostly cover for the racism and antisemitism now in the open. Jewish cemeteries, synagogues and cultural centres all over the USA are being targeted for hate crimes.

The fear that Sharia Law is coming to my neighbourhood is on a par with fear that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a real plot against the West. And remember, the Protocols was written by Russians to justify their pogroms.

Russians, you say? I hear they've been up to funny business lately. Publishing other fake news items and pulling strings behind the scenes. Shouldn't we be afraid of them? No, no. I'm told. Fear Muslms, Jews, feminists, and people of colour. Those nice Russians are our friends. LOL.

WAR IS PEACE. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
