Do you object to the word "ally" in your ugly language that, remember, I struggle with, or do you object to the notion that you have the same demands as them, a ban on Muslim veils?

If I haven't made clear enough that I am aware that your reasons for advocating the same measure are different from their reasons, I am sorry. You do advocate the same thing though, and that was my point.

As to your last sentence: it would leave me cold. Fire away if it makes you feel better.
