In yet another case for why Twitter shouldn’t exist, a noted journalist, Julie has had her book on cancel culture cancelled after getting into a Twitter spat with a Muslim journalist and activist, Ash Sarkar.

This spat was over an article published years ago where the author was joking about not becoming a teacher because he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from shagging the students. Sarkar decided to stick her oar in and write a screed on Twitter about it, at which point Burchill spoke up and asked how old Aisha was when she “married” Muhammad. Now Burchill has been accused of Islamophobia despite the Koran happily declaring Aisha’s age, and Burchill’s book about cancel culture has been cancelled because the publisher is spineless.

What a world we live in.

Is a bit confusing. This is what I assumed happened:

journalist 1 is a pedophile > the author criticized the pedo > muslim activist defended the pedo? > the author said ofc you defend pedos cause your prophet was a pedo > twitter crowd cancel her for being islamophobe

Is this correct?

Sorry about that, here’s what happened as far as I understand:

Journalist 1 makes a James Gunn-esque joke about not being a teacher as he’d shag the kids > Muslim activist jumps in to have a dig at Journalist 1 and starts lecturing about how all child sex abuse is wrong > author then questions the Muslim activist as to how old Aisha was > activist starts up the accusations of Islamophobia to deflect attention > authors book gets cancelled.

I'm sure Ash is just as outraged about her people raping English girls all throughout the nation.

"It's islamophobic to tell the truth!"

Trads should realise Islamic religion is the best religion.

Immediate punishment on hearing criticism of any of it's dogmas. Based.

Yes, yes, cuck to Islamic policies. That'll work great. You'll definitely preserve some form of heritage then.

Muslim heritage is definately preserved with Islam.

"White" hertiage is preserved nowhere in any religion whites are typically associated with. No pagans exist, Christianity comes in 3 flavors.

The most moderate version of Islam is still more traditionalist than Christianity.

Muslim heritage is definitely preserved with Islam.

It isn't, but it's created a bureaucratic and administrative authoritarian system that lies to people and tells them that it's preserved.

"According to this well sourced Hadith, we were always at war with East Asia."

Not only that, but you seem to be unfamilar with the divisions between Islam. At least the Christians stopped warring against each other.
