Islamophobia in the Conservative Party

[Ban-jani]

I am just quoting from a dictionary - don't shoot the messenger. Don't forget that Islam is meant to be the peace loving religion despite its followers being guilty of many of the current world attrocities

Yeah I knew that, wasn’t aiming my point at you.

It’s ludicrous and is designed to stop free speech.

I guess everyone who adopted the "Je suis Charlie" tag must be Islamophobic, because they supported a publication that made fun of Muhammad and Islam.

According to the dictionary Islamaphobia is a 'dislike of or prejudice against Islam or Muslims, especially as a political force'.

That is a correct interpretation, by my reasoning, as it gives a valid reference at the end of 'Especially as a political
force.' As it is used as exactly that in places like Saudi Arabia, ie; basing the governmental structure on a set of religious
tenets, it is probably reasonable to be islamaphobic, as it forces people to adopt the religion, something the vast majority
worldwide abhor.

It’s basically saying we should accept and adopt an absolutist religion into our way of life or we’re bigots, despite not actually doing anything negative towards those who already follow the religion.

It’s designed to control and shut up criticism.

I refuse to fall in line with this.

I'm waiting for Sikhphobia, Hinduphobia, Buddhismphobia and so on.

Why does Judaism and Islam get all the fun?

It is used to keep a lid on criticism of misogyny etc....

Meanwhile, the BBC wheel out an endless procession of bleeding hearts to perform mental cartwheels.

Bozza has reeled in enough gilled vertebrates to sink a Grimsby trawler.

We already do. It’s called Christianity.

I don’t and I don’t get called a racist or a bigot for criticising Christanity.
