In the UK they've banned large numbers of their own citizens from Universities and gov't facilities, for doing nothing but having dissenting opinions. Looking at it within that context, banning Trump makes sense for them. What else is a looney Regressive to do?

I'm sure there are quite a few muslims on the banned list but they don't make headlines because they are obvious choices.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

I'd like to see which Muslims are on UK university ban lists. Milo Yiannopoulos is blocked from even entering half of them (including his alma mater), and he's just a 130lb queen, armed only with rapier wit and binders full of facts.

I think you linked to the wrong article. Your position was that

However your evidence seems to be an article about one guy who some hypersensitive students got disinvited to a speaking engagement on one campus and possibly disinvited to another. As I'm sure you are fully aware of the difference between withdrawn speaking engagement invitations and state sponsored bans, you clearly linked to the wrong article.

Hope this helps.

I was only linking regarding Milo and his ban, I can't find any Muslims that have been banned from UK campuses. The irony of this one is just too rich: Yiannopoulos also banned from censorship event | The Mancunion. A censorship event? Really?

Ahh.. I see, you are actually confused and don't understand the difference between self-important snot-nosed students disinviting a speaker and an actual state sponsored ban. They are actually two very different things.

Let me also let you on a cool site I found that has really helped me find things on the internet. It's called Google (Google). I used it and seconds later I found this!

University of Kent bans extremist Islamic preacher Haitham al-Haddad from giving talk on sharia law

Just gently pointing out that you are once again spouting unsubstantiated nonsense.

I think there was a guy who got banned or uninvited because he refused to allow men and women to sit together during his talk.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
