Well, to be honest, I couldn’t catch the
meaning of the phrase until I met this news’ title: “’Islam is reviving British values’, says former
Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams”(http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/islam-is-reviving-british-values-says-former-archbishop-of-canterbury-rowan-williams-9644314.html
It is a laughing matter, a laughing stock, so
to say, not because it’s false, but, on the contrary, because it’s true.
