Yeah, right. See also: hell freezing over. Though the other day I saw a woman in a hijab clutching a wad of Socialist Worker papers. At first I thought it was odd because it is absolutely not possible to be a communist and a devout muslim, but then I thought that this is the SWP so anything is possible. Even in my days, long ago, of being curious about radical socialism I thought the SWP were full of shít.
