Islamophobia in the Conservative Party

So you call people racist for hating certain aspects of Islam, eg FGM clinics in the UK, antisemitism, persecution of gays i could go on and on. That doesn't make somebody racist as Islam is not a race.
Just as people on here call people that go to church 'nutjobs' for believing in God.
D'oh. There is an 'Or' in my sentence. Some ppl who are called Islamophobic are actually racists, the religion is irrelevant to them. For others, they hate the religion so they are religious bigots. My point was both groups get called Islamophobes as a totally inaccurate catch all phrase.
I am perfectly aware that Islam is not a race. You should direct your ire at the HoC committee whose definition makes this error.
Edit PS nothing like a quick repost.

Are there ‘clinics’ in the UK?
 
seems so people believe there are. Maybe they are situated in those areas of Britain "under Sharia law" where the Police never go - however some people are very, very confused.

The dangers of social media and the internet.

Say something like “no go areas” a few times and the rows upon rows of idiots pick up on the term and use it.
 
All religion is bollocks, end of. 1000 year old fairy stories (minimum) defining peoples lives in the 21st century. F*cking ridiculous.

I have yet to hear a decent description of what Islamophobia is. If people think all religion is bollocks then surely they are allowed to express that view?

Depends. Are they giving other religions equal stick?

I honestly think in this country Christianity is seen as a harmless past time for folk with a bit of wishful thinking. Like train spotters they might be a bit odd but what’s the harm. Those smart American preachers who jump on buses are pretty weird though, do you get them in Ireland?
