I refuse to believe Candid Camera did anything as heinous as harassing people for their religion and ethnicity and then making a show out of going to their place of worship to "just criticize" an international conspiracy they purport as existing.

That YouTuber has been banned from entering the UK for inciting racial hatred. I don't believe it's wise to take anything she says or shows on her channel at face value.

I find it concerning that you're willing to put her brand of divisive hate on par with Candid Camera's pranks, as if what she's doing is just silly antics.

But...surely you were joking about contrary opinions near religious centers?

* Protest outside Christian Church, claiming they incite violence [1]

* Protest outside Mormon Temple, claiming Nazi agenda [2]

* Protest outside Jewish synagogue claiming subversive global influence [3]

* Protest outside Catholic Church claiming heretical views [4]

* Protest outside United Church of Christ claiming pedophilia [5]

...and many, many more full-on sign-waiving, chant-shouting, screaming protests.

Not a person traveling past a mosque who is well known for her criticism of Islam.

Take a look at that YouTuber's channel[1] and tell me with a straight face that using terms like "antics" and "contrary opinions" accurately describes what she's doing or the positions she holds.

What's your agenda?

> But...surely you were joking about contrary opinions near religious centers?

Surely, you aren't trying to strawman a position that's literally one post above yours.

[Straight face]

There's no question she is an ardent critic of Islam. She said as much during her conversation with law enforcement, which said she couldn't freely go in the Muslim neighborhood.

As for comparison, yes, I believe her actions in Sydney were less antagonistic than the many examples I listed.
