Boris Johnson Britain S New Prime Minister

---

The new British PM Boris Johnson has quite a colorful history. He has been married three times. His second wife is a Sikh of Punjabi-English parents. His children have been given beautiful names like Lara Lattice, Casia Peaches, Milo Arthur and Theodore Apollo - reflecting also Johnson's unconventional thinking.

Here are some news excerpts about Johnson's views on some things :

newly uncovered essay revealed
claimed 'Muslim grievance' a factor in virtually every global conflict
written decade ago in 2007 edition of his book on Roman empire
Muslim Council of Britain demanded if next Prime Minister still believes 'Islam inherently inhibits the path to progress and freedom'.
Mr Johnson wrote: 'There must be something about Islam that indeed helps to explain why there was no rise of the bourgeoisie, no liberal capitalism and therefore no spread of democracy in the Muslim world'.
He added Islam was held back by 'fatal religious conservatism' and the Muslim world had 'fallen behind, the more bitterness and confusion there has been, to the point where virtually every global flashpoint you can think of – from Bosnia to Palestine to Iraq to Kashmir – involves some sense of Muslim grievance.' 
He wrote: 'It is extraordinary to think that under the Roman/Byzantine empire, the city of Constantinople kept the candle of learning alight for a thousand years, and that under Ottoman rule, the first printing press was not seen in Istanbul until the middle  of the nineteenth century. Something caused them to be literally centuries behind."
OSTB :  Maybe Boris Johnson read my book 'Malaysia and the Club of Doom - The Collapse of the Isamic Countries' which was published in 2006 - a year before he wrote these comments.
Bois Johnson on Christianity -  showed  'disgusting cruelty' over course of history.  'wasn't long ago we were burning books and heretics ourselves. These Muslims are not some alien species .' 
He also said  Turkey's 'far from perfect' record on human rights was reason for keeping Turks on tram tracks to EU membership
2016 referendum he warned Turkey joining EU reason to leave
he described burka as 'ridiculous' and 'weird' said women wearing them looked like letter-boxes or bank robber
His essay on Islam has been blasted by faith groups.
Mr Johnson still believes Islam inherently inhibits path to progress and freedom, and whether he still thinks Turkey should be admitted to the European Union

Boris penned a poem calling the Turkish leader 'a w****erer' from Ankara (whackerer?)

He composed a satirical limerick describing the key regional power broker having sex with a goat and calling him a 'w******r', to rhyme with the Turkish capital, Ankara.
It said:There was a young fellow from AnkaraWho was a terrific w***ererTill he sowed his wild oatsWith the help of a goatBut he didn't even stop to thankera
