........................................."Is there anything more preposterous than the phrase “The Religion of Peace”?

Islam is really funny.

But it’s also sinister. And as a gay man, I really don’t like it very much.

It’s easy to bleat about Christianity. It’s low-hanging fruit. It’s more difficult, and it takes more bravery, to criticise Islam with sincerity and seriousness. And with jokes.

That’s what I’m here to do today.

Now originally I was going to call my talk 10 Things I Hate About Islam.

But on the way over here I got carried away and couldn’t bring myself to keep it to just 10. So I changed the name of my talk.

There are few people in the western world, save perhaps Daddy, Donald Trump, who have been falsely accused of sexism as much as I have. I mean, I championed GamerGate for God’s sake — and they still won’t shut up about it.

But to be honest I think I’m more feminist than most feminists. I mean sure, I think birth control was a mistake and women are happier in the kitchen, but that’s just my opinion. If women want to ruin their lives with the Pill and a string of unsatisfying one-night stands, that’s up to them.

I’ll always be here to comfort their unhappy ex-boyfriends"................................................
