I am surprised for someone who claims to be well travelled abroad shares such examples to prove his point. Is the West one monolithic mass of society with uniform views? Do you aim to show by this example that all Westerners think like the MP mentioned and hence it validates Swamy's plainly regressive views?
You can find many different views in the West and of course in any country of the world. There are more liberals that accept the changing definitions of the culture of their countries like Britain than conservatives like Javid. If that wasn't the case then Chicken Tikka wouldn't have been the Brits favorite dish and they wouldn't have had Sikhs army men guarding Buckingham palace.
Lets talk more about Swamy's hateful spoutings through. Here's a glimpse from a tweet he shared today.
Him and Azam Khan should be locked together in jail and keys thrown away for eternity.

Assumptions won't do, he will become the PM and things will change, you will add him to your fav list sooner or later.
Very true and India will become a paradise the next day. We should start celebrations.
Irrespective of whether he is a MP, those views are his personal opinion. The British govt policy encourages multiculturalism and doesn't say Christianity is the state religion or preferred religion.He is not an ordinary MP. He is Secretary Culture of Britain and just quoting the British government's policy. If Chicken Tikka and Sikh army men guarding Buckingham palace symbols of inclusiveness, then why not the Modi's beard ? By your logic scotch whisky drinking by Indians should also be a sign of inclusiveness . Large number of Hindus eating Chicken Biryani should also be taken as a sign of Islamic cultural acceptance.

What is wrong in this statement ? Mosques are routinely demolished in Saudi Arabia. Namaz can be offered anywhere and going to mosque is not mandatory.
Even prophet Mohamed demolished a mosque in his life time;

Right !
Looking at the present day political culture of the country, well entrenched vested interests will not easily allow space to changing the status quo of the polity of India, let whomsoever come to lead the Lok Sabha in the present dispensation of coalition era !
Could you please explain what you meant there? The diplomacy and round about speak obfuscated any point that you were trying to make.
If a similar statement would have been by a Muslim radical about a temple, one can imagine the brouhaha about it. The statement was in bad taste and inflammatory nature. But then one can expect that from Swamy.
तुलसीदास ने रामायण में लिखा है," समरथ को नही दोष गुसाईं". वह इन सबसे उपर है, इस लिये उन्हे कोई दोषी नही ढहरा सकता और अब तो उन्हे दोष लगता भी नही है, चाहे वो पत्नी का नाम लिखें या ना लिखें............ और हाँ नमो भक्ति के मतवालों को इसमे भी कोई दोष दिख नही सकता.....
Muslims make such statements everyday. Most of their leaders question the very existence of Lord Rama and make jokes about his birth place. How many proofs do you want me to quote?

He's forgetting Owaisi's speech.
Not just Owaisi, there are many like him who question Rama and his birth. Pseudo-seculars have no problem with Hussain painting Sita nude. Pseudo seculars think that only Muslims have emotions and Hindus should be devoid of all type of feelings. No person has been bashed in media so much as Modi. Media forgets that man in street is smarter than these Karan Thapars, Sagrika Ghoses and Arnav Goswamis.

It is crystal clear that elite politicians and bureaucracy do not allow change in the present polity. Even if any political party or some politician wants, the meagre majority managed by cobbling together of various parties and groups does not permit that change to take place. So do not expect much upheaval by dislodging one set of parties by another as all represent elite and as proverb goes: birds of the same flock fly together.
