We have a Friend (Capital "F" meaning Quaker) who appears to be lapsing into strident Islamophobia. He quotes Rupert Lowe and Ant Middleton with approval. He is also very old and ill- and it's a pity....
It would be a matter for private grief if he weren't doing all he can do to propagate his views.
Who'd have thought we'd have to tell a fellow Quaker not to be such a fascist.
For those who don't know, Rupert Lowe is a 68 year old businessman and politician who used to be with Reform but has since formed his own party, somewhat to the right of Nigel Farage, because he wants to be The Leader. MAGA likes him and Elon Musk backs him.
And Ant Middleton is a former SAS man who gets into scrapes and has been threatening that all it'll take is for him and his mates to say the word and millions will rise up and there'll be Civil War in the UK.
We did our best to fight fascism yesterday by welcoming three women from the East Sussex Interfaith Group to our Meeting- one of whom was a Muslim. They wanted to find out what we're about. We talked to them, included them in our worship, gave them coffee and cake and a good time was had by all. |
