As it happens, I do appreciate why you have a bias relating to those specific issues, it is completely understandable, anyone with such personal involvement would. I would have far less issue with Brillo's views and xenophobia if, for example, she had lost family to Islamic extremism.

But as far as I can tell she hasn't, she just likes to froth over tabloid headlines and her own racist, small minded assumptions and subject everyone else to them as well.

Hating Islamic terrorists shouldn't be reserved for those who have lost family to them, should it? Maybe Brillo feels deeply for those who have. I don't really understand your reasoning here.
My support of Brillo has nothing to do with the thread you refer to. I don't always agree with her views, but calling her racist is the easy way out instead of giving her views respectful consideration and understanding her perspective of having strong views and a deep interest in the subjects she posts about, which I do. I don't believe she is racist, many others don't, so maybe YOU are wrong? I simply and genuinely believe she is ganged up on mercilessly and has been for a long time. People are now speaking out against this. About time.
