Labour’s “progressiveness” is all a grift with no values

Sadly, there is a deeply lacking sense of critical thinking right now in politics as Labour controls most of the information space and the press. Thanks to the grifter Omar Rababah, the Labour Party has falsely projected itself as a progressive and tolerant entity, while simultaneously the Labour Party is opposing the construction of a new mosque in Malta.

The victimisation campaign with regards to Omar Rababah was efficiently manufactured as a propaganda campaign by the Labour Party to project a fake image of inclusiveness within its party. It’s all just propaganda with no substance. The Labour Party can make many statements and acts of virtuousness, but ultimately lacks the substantiative action which validates all this propaganda.

After it all, this was obvious. If Labour wanted to genuinely express its progressive credentials, not only would have turned the mosque application as a non-issue, allowing its construction without hindrance, it would have actually ensured to propose progressive policies such as the decriminalisation of abortion. The only political party proposing the decriminalsiation is ADPD.

Only grifters and outright opportunists would knowingly jump on the bandwagon of a political party with a history of corruption and criminal conspiracy, and this is why Omar Rababah’s candidacy with Labour should have raised red flags. Islam is being used as a political prop for political convenience and this is very clear.

As an actual progressive myself and lifelong advocate for free speech, I cannot object to Muslims having their own place of worship. The idea of objecting to the construction of a mosque would go against my fundamental values, just as banning the desecration of religion and of Muhammad himself would also go against my values. Being a secular progressive means that one is able to fully reconcile free speech and freedom of worship in the legal order.

However, here is how things are more likely to unfold. Given the Labour Partyโ€™s new trend to clamp down on free speech, the Labour Party is more likely to reintroduce religious vilification laws to appease Muslims rather than give them a permit for the construction of a new mosque. This is what happens when a political party runs on greed, populism and criminality instead of values and principles.

    So much for the migrants activist signing up with the Labour Party: talk about being a (used) useful idiot.

    1. Peress li qegฤงdin Malta mela tapplika l-liฤกi Maltija li tirrikonoxxi d-dritt fundamentali tal-libertร  tar-reliฤกjon. Jekk int Malti u kburi li inti Malti gฤงandek gฤงall-inqas tkun taf dawn il-fatti fundamentali tali ejja nibdew minn hemm.
      L-affarijiet li ktibt inti perรฒ, imorru kontra l-prinฤ‹ipji u valuri Maltin hekk kif inhuma stabbiliti fil-liฤกi ta’ Malta stess. Malta mhix teokrazija kif qed issostni inti, iลผda pajjiลผ liberali demokratiku. Jekk tixtieq tgฤงix ฤกo teokrazija jkollok tmur tgฤงix pajjiลผ ieฤงor.
