There you have it. The “counter-jihad” movement in a nutshell.
The other aspect is the “counter-jihad” movement pushes the lie that Islam is about to take over their country or Europe or the USA or the world rather than say be against repressive religious practices, etc.
So in realty they are more racist than anything else and using Islam as their Bogey-man.
