This will be the official death of the freedom of speech in Britain, and the criminalization of resistance to Sharia oppression and Islamization.
“Parliament Offers ‘Islamist’ Group Opportunity to Create Official ‘Islamophobia’ Definition,” by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, April 24, 2018:
MPs are to write a report on identifying a “working definition of Islamophobia”, appealing to hard-line Islamist and far left, Soros-funded groups to contribute.
The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Muslims launched their “appeal for evidence” Monday, describing “Islamophobia” as a form of “group based hatred or hostility” comparable to racism.
Their letter does not acknowledge there might be rational reasons to have reservations about rising levels of radical Islam and the growing influence of Islam in the West generally.
The call for submissions also also only mentions free speech concerns at the end, in passing, describing them as “questions possibly outside the scope of this report”.
They aim to develop a definition of Islamophobia that can be “widely accepted by Muslim communities, political parties, and the Government”, the document adds.
Baroness Warsi, the parliamentary group’s treasurer and one of its four elected officers, tweeted: “To effectively challenge #Islamophobia we must comprehensively define it.”
She also sent the appeal for evidence directly to the radical left wing “anti-fascist” group HOPE Not Hate — who just last week were forced to distance themselves from an anti-Semitic supporter — and the Islamist-linked Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND) group, formerly known as iENGAGE, inviting them both to contribute.
The APPG on British Muslims was launched in 2010 but was forced to re-launch the following year after a Tory MP and Labour Peer quit when “Islamist sympathisers” iENGAGE, which had repeatedly defended extremists, were made the group’s secretariat and given parliamentary passes.
A report last year found MEND still promotes “extremism”, harbours anti-Semites, and gives a platform to Muslim grievance narratives and Islamist views, including promoting false claims of “Islamophobia”.
And, in the last two months, they have been slammed for “racist” attacks on a moderate a Muslim appointed to advise the government on integration and an outgoing Metropolitan Police chief compared them to a banned terror group.
Baroness Warsi also sent the appeal to the Muslim Council of Britain, which is accused of working with extremists. The government has also admitted they are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, which campaigns for a global, Islamist, sharia state, and are banned as a terror group in some countries.
Tell Mama was likewise invited to give evidence in her tweet. They are an “anti-Islamophobia” group which lost government backing in 2013 after being accused of inflating and misrepresenting statistics….
Ren says
Islamophobes are those who know too much about islam.
HugoHackenbush says
Great definition!
Savvy Kafir says
That’s an excellent definition!
mortimer says
ISLAM IS AN IDEOLOGY, STUPID.
To give an example, Zion-o-phobia would be a neologism comparable to ‘Islamophobia’.
Zionism is the belief that Jews have a right to a homeland.
Islamism is the belief that Muslims have a right to everything.
Which ideology is more dangerous?
mortimer says
“Islamophobia” is resistance to jihad.
Jihad is aggression.

Don’t forget about Christianophobia.

I was ironocally not with my knowledge when I opened a new FB account, in a closed arabic group. 1st I felt I must get out. Then I Tought its perfect. When the ambassy took place in Jerusalem, I chatted with a young man who lives in Gaza.OBS he is enploied by FB! With no sugarcoding he made it clear that all jewes is going to get out of Israel! The land belonges to muslims only! I took the chance, played a little stuiped. I ask but what about the land outside Israel? God created all land right? Yes he answered. I asked so when you come to our land do you see that it belongs for muslims only then? He said yes that is absolutly so. One day all land will be the land of Allah. I asked so you will not stop until we all submit to Allah. He said Yes
This is the truth all west media and politics denay having no knowledge ignor in the name of tolerance and build briges not having a clue that that “love” does not run both wayes.

Islamophobes
Have you been branded an Islamophobe – a slur word invented by Muslims against non-Muslims?
Then join the ranks of the world’s greatest political leaders, military leaders, writers, philosophers, historians, researchers and intellectuals; the movers and shakers of history.
Here are just a very few of them and their opinions:
An extremely large percentage of Muslims in South Asia today are the progeny of forcible conversions and systematic rape campaigns by marauding Muslim invaders.
– Dr. Younis Shaikh
Pakistani medical doctor, human rights activist and freethinker.
Some, indeed, dream of an Islam in the future, rationalised and regenerate. All this has been tried already, and has miserably failed. The Koran has so encrusted the religion in a hard unyielding casement of ordinances and social laws, that if the shell be broken the life is gone. A rationalistic Islam would be Islam no longer.
– Sir William Muir
Scottish Orientalist, scholar of Islam, and colonial administrator (27 April 1819 – 11 July 1905).
The brotherhood of Islam is not the universal brotherhood of man. It is brotherhood of Muslims for Muslims only. There is a fraternity but its benefit is confined to those within that corporation. For those who are outside the corporation, there is nothing but contempt, slavery and enmity.
– Dr.B.R. Ambedkar
Indian jurist, economist, politician and social reformer (14 April 1891 – 6 December 1956).
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities – but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.
– Sir Winston Churchill
British Conservative politician and statesman of the United Kingdom (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965).
Religious harmony is a desirable thing. But it takes two to play the game. Unfortunately such a sentiment holds no position in Islamic theology.
– Ram Swarup
Independent Hindu thinker and prolific author (1920 – 26 December 1998).
Over a billion people believe in Allah without truly knowing what Allah supposedly stands for or what he really demands of them. And the minority that do understand continue to be Moslems because they have redefined their morality and ethics to fit within the teachings of Islam, which are floridly lacking in morality. They therefore redefine what is good and evil in order to fit their lives into what is preached by Islam, instead of examining Islam to see if it fits within the good life. Backwards thinking, imposed by a backward religion.
– Professor Bertrand Russell
British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, and social critic (18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970).
The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate complex of order and freedom, culture and peace, can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or multiplying within.
– Will Durant
American writer, historian, and philosopher (November 5, 1885 – November 7, 1981
There are such “social values” today in Europe, America, and Australia only because during those thousand years the Christians of Europe possessed the warlike power to do what the Christians of Asia and Africa had failed to do – that is, to beat back the Moslem invader.
– Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt
26th President of the United States

I join JM in a “Thank you” to Mr. Swan, for taking time and effort to assemble that excellent array of remarks by persons seeing through the smoke & mirrors of Muhammad’s pathological subconscious mind.
This item by Dr. Nicolai Sennels is mentioned by me once in a while, for JW visitors who want insight on the accuracy of those opinionators cited above: “Why Islam Creates Monsters”. It should be easily found with an internet search.
Regular readers of Robert’s blog here know that I am a HUGE fan of Dr. David Wood, and often suggest viewing his videos for their explanatory context on why the “prophet” of Allah is so controlling and violent.
This is one which might have escaped your attention: “Inside The Kaaba”. Contains David’s typical meticulously cited history — plus, at its conclusion, a remarkable eloquent witnessing for his faith in Christ. Highly recommended by ancient Yours Truly.

Relevant resource regarding this post —
FOR NEW VISITORS TO JIHAD WATCH — AND READERS HERE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN IT YET — “THREE STAGES OF JIHAD”, from one of our very best allies in the war against Islam’s agenda — Dr. David Wood. UK clueless citizens, wanting to believe that Islam is one of the “Abrahamic faiths” have let down their guard.
Robert Spencer wrote in an item several years ago that David is “superlatively brilliant”, and I absolutely agree. That three-stages video is long but worth every minute of your time, so please view it when not busy with other tasks — maybe during this coming weekend.
Several more from David — “The Jihad Triangle”, “What Is Taqiyya?”, “Three Questions For Moderate Muslims”, “Muhammad — The White Prophet With Black Slaves”. Just copy & paste those titles to find them on the internet.
Also, as I have suggested many time prior: send the links on to family + friends, federal + state + city elected officials, rabbis + priests + pastors, TV station executives in your town, school board members. REMIND ALL OF THEM THAT WE ARE IN A MULTI-DECADE STRUGGLE TO PREVAIL OVER ISLAM’S SUPREMACISM. The survival of their children depends on winning this war.

I’ve seen this form, and you’re allowed, as a member of the British public, to email them stating your view of what a definition of Islamophobia might be. I’ve refrained so far because I’d write thirty pages of heated invective and also because I’m scared they might put me on an Islamophobic database. What do you think I should do, Robert Spencer? Can you draft an email responding to their hideous points so I can sound… normal. Because I am good at descriptions of islamophobia: nausea when seeing a hijab, terror of burkas, fits of rage at the thought of Muslims raping girls in Telford, panic attacks in the night, horror at losing my freedom of speech, never being able to draw pictures again, death row for writing poetry, and so on. But I think all that, while true, will not help if what is needed is a more sober exegesis of the problem. Pease help. Oh, you do not have the form here. Tell me how I can email it to you. Jessica
R Russell says
Where can we find this form?

Or in other words, nobody really knows what they’re talking about. When they come up with something will the final definition be determined through a vote by the people? Is this the way the official definition of a word in the English language will be determined in the future? May I suggest that we get a new official definition for the word “gay” that does not include homosexuality? How about making “naughty” actually mean “nice” and “bad” mean “good: or “war” mean “peace?”
JM says
Doublespeak, combining Orwell’s doublethink and newspeak?
gravenimage says
Yes, CogitoErgoSum–obviously this is a non-concept that they are prosecuting without even any firm definition.
KJW says
That would mean the Qur’an should be banned also since it’s hatred to groups (non-Muslims) and racism. More so, undercover cameras have shown this hatred for infidels, western societies, values, government, other religions, etc. is being taught in Islamic schools in England, in mosques, in schools from Pakistan to Gaza to Saudi Arabia to North Africa. The mendacity of Muslim groups is extreme, and British authorities know this. They are the ones fomenting hate, others are reacting.
The word Islamophibia should be banned from discourse as it’s a propaganda lie. We are well aware of the Muslim Brotherhood’s intentions and the Saudis which the European Commission, et al bow to. People go on about George Soros but he’s not the most main problem! The EU, UN and OIC, and the EC are! That’s besides England having so much Saudi investments (they run most of their ports) and oil.

Diane Harvey says
Leftists (yep, that includes all you Muzzies) can try to define Islamophobia until the cows come home, but they will repeatedly run up against the truth for which there is no defense. Jihad then and now means waging war against anyone – and that means anyone, should any atheists be paying attention – who refuses to acknowledge that Islam is the one and only acceptable “religion.” This lesson could be learned the easy way by reading history – including Spencer’s books – which would be far less painful, or the hard way. Sadly, the hard way – denying the realization that Muslims and their Islam mean us great harm – will be the chosen way. .
David M says
Shutting down the criticism of Islam is just their first step, then they will move onto something else. Eventually England will be a mirror image of Saudi Arabia if you don’t stop this in its tracks.
Stefan cel Mare says
Well..as long they don’t protest…they want it, or they don’t care about…isn’t it ? Then…please…have it…
Millions died fighting against communism…In west Europe against sharia are only few saying something from time to time…Who should defend you if the politicians don’t care about you ? you’r mom ?
somehistory says
With all of the disagreement in their perverted world, perhaps it will take a very long time to define it.
Whatever they come up with, it will be just another way to force their perverted code on everyone else through the rule of law. Like when they say they are “peaceful” and twist all other good words into fake pretzels in order to be the eternal victims of those who speak truth.
thesailor says
I think it has already been defined quite simply as “Criticism of Islam”. This is just a charade, to make fools believe that the authorities are actually considering the possibility of any other definition.
The next step will be formally recognising it as blasphemy. The one after that will be vicious, sadistic prison terms, specifically in prisons full of Moslems, for those accused of it – no trial necessary as guilt will be automatically assumed..

Why is there an “All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Muslims”
and not:
an All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Sikhs
an All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Hindus
an All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Jews ?
Is it because some groups do not cause “mischief in the land” based on the commands and teachings of their prophets and gods ? Is it because some groups can assimilate into British society, yet keep their own cultures/traditions, without causing turmoil, strife, accommodations, and special privileges ?
*******
One more point. And I am not saying that some muslims can not be charitable to infidels (even though Islam/Allah/Mohammad require, unless for the sake of the advancement of Islam, that muslims not to be charitable to infidels).
Muslims typically provide charity only to other muslims. I would like to see a yearly audited report indicating details as to where the money came from, administrative costs, to whom it went, how much, for what purpose, and under what conditions.
I remember Linda Sarsour in the USA collected money for a Jewish cemetary that was never received.
Save Europe says
I present ‘Muslim Aid’ – a supposedly charitable organisation, which Spanish Intel agencies proved were funding terrorist organisations.
jayell says
‘Muslim Aid’ is a transparent rip-off of ‘Christian Aid’ even down to a plagiarised logo and is, like all things islamic, no more nor less than huge con-trick designed to sell islam as respectable agent of charity in the West. Christian Aid, following Christian principles, aims to assist all regardless of politics, religion or ethnicity, following the highest Christian moral and legal standards and with no strings attached – or so we should hope.. From what I can make out, ‘Musllim Aid’ attempts to ape the ‘Christian Aid’ act, but clearly following an islamic ‘moral code’; i.e., they’ll aim to help their own kind and if anyone else benefits, that’s incidental but they’ll try to make some sort of big deal out of it; and as regards wider ‘morality’ and ‘legality’ issues, they are of course guided by the example of their ‘prophet’ – hence the ‘charitable aid’ for terrorists, who are of course working for the advancement of islam. And that’s all they’re basically interested in.
By the way, it’s interesting to see how the muslims have got their feet under the table in the UK with their high-and-mighty-sounding ‘Muslim Council of the UK’ acting as though its some kind of advisory arm of Government. I wonder what happened to the so-called ‘Muslim Parliament’; or is that due to be based in the Palace of Westminster?
gravenimage says
There was a time when I believed that Muslims were *misusing* charity to fund violent Jihad–then I found out that funding violent Jihad is a core part of the use of “Zakat”. Zakat is *not* charity as we use the term.

Linda Sansour and other Islamics of her kind raiding the public coffers(here and in the UK +Western Europe)) to get money for their “non-profit” charitable organization who funnel it into lawfare to advance Sharia law and legal Jihad against anyone who exposes Islam for what it is. Not all Jihad is direct violence when they can cause you to loss your job be shunned in public, force you to edit and change your behavior ,steal your tax dollars , kill your free speech ,be ashamed of your culture ,attack your core as a person that is Jihad of the highest order. Why the UK leaders are taking their marching orders from the Sharia boosters ?So the current leaders can hang on a little longer before the Islamic leaders dispose of them after their usefulness is done?

Islamophobia is when there has been no murders or terror attacks carried out in the name of Islam for a hundred years. Then a negative attitude or fear towards Islam or Muslims is irrationel and due to a pathological fear.

This sounds like death knell for democracy and a welcome for Sharia – officially. Corruption can be a big swamp. How come the parliamentarians found a suitable ally in hard Left for this suicide note.UK has been corrupt for several decades now with the importing of Asians under the guise of higher education. I was one of them in the year 2005 though the plan misfired. Muslims with a better network have been moving into UK for economic reasons and off course they come with the foul baggage called Islam which is virulent and venomous to its core due to its hatred for anything non-Muslim.

Steve's nephew says
To make “Islamophobia” a crime is more than just suppressing public discussion. I believe it is designed to suppress logical, analytical thinking. When we logically consider the basic philosophy of Islam, it makes no logical sense at all. None. It is totally impossible to believe that the God who created mankind would endorse the abuse and killing of harmless, morally decent people by rapists, thieves, and killers. Quite simply, the Muslims have been brainwashed.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Stupid on their part, really. The term is intentionally euphemistic. That’s part of its power – it can be used in multiple situations and the target of the attack appears guilty when defending themselves. Defining it will weaken its power and allow critics to tear the term to pieces.
I’m sure that the definition will be as absurd as the one attempted in House of Commons in Canada. All the easier to shoot it down.
JM says
Rules of civilized debate allow demanding that the opponent define any term used, such as Islamophobia. But this is no civilized debate. It’s not even an uncivilized debate. It’s more like an attack on a retired kindergarten teacher in a dark alley by a gang of thugs with murder on their mind.

Flavius, I doubt this is an honest attempt to define this grotesque term.
dan christensen says
In Sweden students will be reported to police and charged with “Defamation of ethnical group” if they publish crime statistics showing ‘bad’ numbers for muslims.
A dentist in Sweden was fired for reporting the real age of “teenage asylum seekers” to the authorities – the majority of young asylum seekers in Sweden lie themselves under 18 to receive extra benefits.
To disagree with government policy i Sweden on islamic matters, is tantamount to social suicide.
Everything in that country revolves around ensuring muslims happiness and emotional tranquility.
Green Infidel says
Why not, as a response, plaster those crime statistics around the campus?
My teenage cousin emigrated to Sweden. He’s at a school near Gothenburg. When in his class girls started coming in wearing hijabs, the boys grouped together and all wore caps, in spite of the rules…
If people accept the rules, they surrender without a fight. But in numbers there is strength….
Green Infidel says
So we may have, in writing,a definition which effectively makes Salman Rushdie an “Islamophobe” . If this is then folowed up by a call to take action against islamophobia, then we will have in writing confirmation that Britain is almost becoming an Iran-style theocracy… but we know it already – so how is this written confirmation a bad thing?Baroness Warsi – give it your best shot.

Peter says
There’s no such thing as ‘islamophobia’. A phobia is an irrational fear. There is nothing irrational (or illegal) about fearing or rejecting or despising islam, an intolerant, violent, divisive and backward ideology. All religions want to control, islam not only wants to control (what you can/can’t eat or drink etc), it wants to dominate and subjugate, not integrate and it poses a serious threat to the liberal West.
‘Islamophobia’ is a control word used by the Liberal/Left and by muslims to try and silence and shout down any criticism of islam by inferring that there is something wrong with you.

To say that Islam creates a “phobia” in all non-Muslims is ludicrous and an absolute nonsense!
But a recognition of the violent lethality of Islamic ideology which occurs for every thinking person. They becomes aware of the atrocities being perpetrated by Muslims in the name of Islam, around the World and of those who use the very directives, claimed to be from Allah in The Koran, against all Infidels.(that’s us.), is urgently needed by all in The West.
A definition of Islamoreality would be more suitable to define, featuring all aspects of its deception, discrimination,intolerance, claims of supremacy and lethal violence in its ideology.
This would them be a real recognition of that are actually the five pillars of Islam.
pennant8 says
Maybe they could start by incorporating the Muslim definition of slander. Saying something that someone dislikes even though it’s true.
Bob Smyth says
No doubt one or more of these Muslim groups will try to include “animus against the theology of Islam”, or something similar, into the definition of “Islamophobia”.
Then, any references to Islam’s “jihad doctrine” or to the COMMANDS set out in the Qur’an for Muslims to wage violent “jihad” against non-Muslims would be “Islamophobia”.
It would effectively implement Sharia ‘blasphemy’ restrictions as criminal offences.

Should we define hate speech as any speech that might make a Muslim behave like a Muslim?

I for one will continue to discuss and criticise the cult religion of Islam to all of my friends and colleagues.
As someone who lived with a muslim woman for over eight years and also have a muslim brother in law, I am well placed to offer reliable testimony regarding the dismal record of Islam in general.
This is not to say that I have an absolute hatred of Islam but I have found it to be a disingenuous faith that I prefer to keep at arms length.

Ludicrous. The problem with Islam is not circumcision, but oppression and savagery.
Many Christians and secularists practice circumcision, as well, especially in the United States.
And Judaism and Islam could not be more dissimilar morally.
Islam is a threat; Judaism is not.
Frank Anderson says
This may be an outstanding illustration of what happens without a written constitution to limit the power of government. If Congress passed a law that violates the Constitution, there is a good chance it will be overturned by the courts. But if parliament enacts a law that has no constitution to limit it, who will overturn the law? Hitler got rid of the German parliament, the Reichstag, and just cut to the chase. This is where unrestrained power leads, as far as I know, every time in history. “Those who cannot remember the lessons of the past. . . .” Jorge Santayana, The Life of Reason (1905).
