Most Tory supporters endorse anti-Muslim hostility and disinformation.

Is Islam incompatible with the British way of life? The answer is "yes and no", just as for Christianity, Hinduism, and Judaism.

Each major religion has different variants of belief, and Islam is no exception. Each has some extremist variants which are incompatible with tolerance and democracy. That includes Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism.

Each also has mainstream forms which are compatible with living in a tolerant and democratic society.

Alabama is almost finished passing a law to shield in-vitro fertilization from its recent court ruling that every embryo is a "child".

This would overcome covers the part of that ruling's effect that is arousing the most focused hostility. But not the worst parts of it. This law will not protect women who have abortions, or miscarriages.

*Government agencies typically have to secure a court-approved warrant before obtaining private data on Americans from a phone or a tech company. But U.S. agencies have skirted this requirement by arguing they do not need a warrant if the information, like precise location records or net flow data, is openly for sale to anyone who wants to buy it.*

This convinces me that the wrong is not located in the buying of that data, but in offering it for sale. We should not allow that to happen. However, as I've stated,

data once collected will surely be misused. To prevent the sale of collections of data about more or less everyone, we need to prohibit systems that collect such data.

*Israel has not yet provided evidence to back Hamas 7 October attack claims against [employees of UNRWA], UN says.*

More than a small fraction of foreign ownership of critical facilities can make a country vulnerable to attack.

It would be wise to prohibit that outright.
