That might be the view from Brazil, but in America and NATO, we know that Putin is a threat to peace.
Why would criticizing the Islamacists be “racist”?
Islam is not a race. It isn’t really a religion either, so much as it is a death cult.
Angie and Pope Frank need to get smart, and fast.
“There is no place in Germany for those who are instigating hatred against immigrants” but plenty of room for those who instigate hatred against non-islamists?
US right wing hatred of Putin is misplaced. Putin is NO COMMUNIST. He’s far right
Behind this haze of propaganda from all sides lies the truth that is nowhere in the article: European political parties and movements concerned about Islam immigration are centrist and populist. They are not racist, bigoted or tools of Russia. They represent popular opinion. As such, they are threats to all traditional parties. This disinformation from across the political spectrum is an attempt to discredit public concern about Islam’s cultural invasion of Europe. This aplies to Germany, France, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and the U.K.
This is typical propaganda from Russian agents of influence. Putin is no "Christian," and actively persecutes Christians in Russia and in East Ukraine and Cimrea, though the ones in the latter locations have it worse, as it is open season to kill them there. See this thread which discusses the systematic targeting of Protestants and their businesses and churches in East Ukrain:

See post 36 in this thread for a quick example of Russian persecution of Christians on Russian territory:

See these two threads on Russian moral degeneracy and mass corruption, even worse than Americans can imagine:

If you can read these and still believe Russia is a "Christian" country, then you need a brain transplant. Yours would be proven to be clearly broken.
I will also add that Islamic terrorism itself has its roots with the KGB, and it is not a coincidence that Russia's allies in the middle east-- Syria and Iran-- hate Israel and the United States and support terrorism against us and them.
I’d put it this way. Traditional communists are not Islamists; in fact are more anti-religion & anti-islam than any other grp.
But this situation isn’t black or white; many different shades of gray inbetween.
Nowadays, islamists align themselves with whichever western political orientation that would most benefit them or give them an advantage. The reverse for traditional or typical (left or right) western political parties or grps regarding the islamists is true.
Nowadays, it’s a matter of expediency. And political alliances are ever-changing & fleeting.
The exception, somewhat, is for far right grps or individuals - both islamic & christian. They don’t like to form an alliance with the other side, Unless it’s absolutely necessary against a common larger enemy. Even so, their alliance would be temporary.
As for putin’s russia, there is no love lost between russia and mullahs iran. It’s simply an alliance of convenience. Just as it is between saudi arabia and the USA.
