Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
British mosques are not simply preaching religious morals: Almost half of Britain’s mosques are under the control of a hardline Islamic sect whose leading preacher loathes Western values and has called on Muslims to “shed blood” for Allah, an investigation by The Times has found. Riyadh ul Haq, who supports

Nevertheless, in the comments to that post — and perhaps

The malfeasors stand accused of “extra-judicial and willful killings and shooting at combatants and civilians after capturing them;” seizing people “in their homes” and dumping their bodies “in remote areas;” executing “wounded persons during their evacuation to
