(1) It makes you anything but a hypocrite.

There was a risk for sure: whether one step or ten steps I do not know. I continuously emphasise the point that opinions are to be elevated on their internal coherence and external power as explanations.

I think they see America as their great Satan, and therefore cannot evaluate Islamic doctrine except through the lens of American empire building.

Its an fatally western centric view, and doesnt evaluate Islam on the same terms it reserves for others,hence the rank hypocrisies in standing with those opposed to civil rights etc. But even given that,Corbyn shouldnt be dismissed when he is also anti-EU and anti-Monarchy.
