Good Evening Regan and Pluto, and Festive, Warm, Happy New Year Wishes to the both of ya'll!
As I have written on numerous occasions, "Progressive/Liberal/Socialist/Egalitarian/Elitist/Democratic Party" viewpoints, in 2016, one must either be of one of the two following camps; A. Either they are uninformed, or misinformed, and don't follow politics, current events, international affairs and the geo-political situation in the world today; or, B. They are truly Anti-American, and want to see the United States become a third world or fourth world Nation-State. There's no room for any other option. Therein lies the distinction that Regan references this evening, regarding our distinguished friend Pluto! I'm sure that Pluto says the aforementioned not because of anti-American, (or anti-Australian!) viewpoints, but only because Pluto really doesn't understand or is "informed" regarding Islam, which, again, as stated, is an ideology, of which only a small snippet would even remotedly be considered a theology or a religion. One must understand "Sharia" as it is applied in the 21st Century, (and as compared to the 10th or 11th Centuries); it's all encompassing, and something that must be reformed in this new millennium.
