Yes, that will show the shooter and anyone who thinks like him that white culture is being supplanted by Islam with the connivance of government and the media how wrong they are!

It’s quite amusing that the default for feminists and liberals when showing solidarity with Muslims is to don the hijab, something that highlights the oppressive nature of the religion and something many Muslim women want to rid themselves of.

Yes, but it's just one aspect of the wider cognitive dissonance of thinking that supporting, defending and promoting probably the most conservative, regressive and illiberal major religion on earth is somehow a 'progressive' act.

And to take it off again shortly afterwards, highlighting the freedom they have to choose.

I'm not sure who bothers me most, the bleating left or the right bleating about the bleating left.
