Then two days after that, UK Prime Minister Theresa May boasted of banning Pamela Geller and me from the country because of our “Islamophobia.” May, like Hizb ut-Tahrir, uses charges of “Islamophobia” as a weapon. Charges of “Islamophobia” are meant to intimidate people into fearing to oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression.
“Hard line groups are ‘weaponising’ Islamophobia, Government’s counter-extremism tsar warns,” by Camilla Turner, Telegraph, September 15, 2018:
Hard line groups are “weaponising” Islamophobia and “cynically” using human rights to promote their ideology, the Government’s new counter-extremism tsar has warned.
Sara Khan said that Islamist groups accuse their critics of being anti-Muslim, in an attempt to undermine “legitimate debate” about extremism.
She said that the “use and abuse” of the language of human rights is “perhaps the most concerning” tactic employed by fundamentalist groups.
“Groups such as Hizb ut-Tahrir, for example – who traditionally rally against what they perceive to be western human rights – increasingly and cynically use human rights to promote Islamist ideology,” Ms Khan said….
“PM’s speech at the United Jewish Israel Appeal dinner: 17 September 2018,” Gov.uk, September 17, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):
…And I acted to keep those who peddle hatred and extremism out of our country.I kicked out Abu Hamza and Abu Qatada.
I stopped Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer and Pastor Terry Jones – because Islamophobia comes from the same wellspring of hatred.
And I stopped people like Dieudonne coming to Britain. Because nothing excuses antisemitism – not comedy, not satire, not even irony.
Antisemitism is just hatred. And it is just wrong….
Tom says
Well at least Ms Khan has come out and said what we in the resistance to Islamization has been saying for years.
I suspect she will be demoted or otherwise become irrelevant or delegitimized by those who have weaponized the Islamaphobia narrative and human rights to their advantage with the help of dhimmi politicians.
When Muslims are in the minority, they are concerned with minority rights. When they are in the majority, there are no minority rights.
Clive Stephen Delmonte says
So right, Tom.
J D S says
Islamaphobia is what’s needed to stop Islam. Our so called leaders need to have islamophobic like a disease and it needs to be catching like a disease and spread throughout the civilized world…
The more we speak out against islamization of the west the sooner someone in power will maybe see that Islam isn’t what they try to tell us it is.
Just because the Muslim working beside you on the job or is your quiet neighbor down the street or he attends the mosque and prays regularly or offers to help you with some project etc. Don’t think for a minute that it would not be possible that he just might be a jihadist terrorist. Think outside the box and speak up.
Tzioni says
You are exactly right. There used to be a young Muslim Arab man working at the local deli counter. We would exchange smiles and friendly greetings while I made my purchases. One night he had had his fill of incitement from Arab leaders on his computer and took an axe and hid it in his deli. After hours he beat the night watchmen over the head several times with the axe. It was all caught on video. Thankfully the night security guard lived. But since then, I will never ever trust a Muslim again. Even if 80% are nice folks, you can’t trust 100% of them at all.
JM says
Good post. True.
Krishna says
Islamist are playing victim card since the beginning and UK counter extremist expert realised this phenomenon far too late
jayell says
It’s not only so-called ‘hard line’ groups that are trotting out this old ‘islamophobia’ war horse. It’s just about every ‘good, law-abiding (sic)’ islamic group with ideas above their station and liberal-leftie band-wagon-jumper who wants to throw their weight around. At some point it’s going to be so over-used that even the most credulous do-gooder will start smelling a rat.
gravenimage says
So true, Jayell.
Anjuli Pandavar says
…and SJWs. You can’t leave out SJWs. It’s not fair.
Keys says
Theresa May has a spiritual disease, Islamophilia, which causes an invasion of T-blockers. The mind identifies Truth as an invader and destroys it.
This destructive spiritual disease is somewhat analagous to the physical disease of cancer though deadlier.

UK’s “counter-extremism tsar” warns that jihad groups “cynically” use “Islamophobia” charges as weapon
………………………
This is of course true–just surprising to hear it from an official in the UK.
Sara Khan herself is a somewhat equivocal figure. She actually *has* come out against Jihad terror and Muslim oppression of women–but appears to believe that Islam is basically just peachy, and that it is only ‘extremists’ who are the problem . She co-wrote the book, “The Battle for British Islam: Reclaiming Muslim Identity from Extremism”.
PRCS says
Have May and other useful idiots ever been asked to state their personal definition of Muslim “extremism”?
mortimer says
Theresa the Appeas-ah is CLUELESS about the Islamic theology of HATRED directed from Muslims against the DIRTY KUFAAR.
Without a knowledge of AL WALAA WAL BARAA, our WESTERN ELITES will CONTINUE to make asinine pronouncements and PLATITUDES about Islam.
The jihadists LAUGH HEARTILY at their ASININITY!
gravenimage says
Good points.
JM says
Once they reclaim Muslim identity from extremism, there isn’t much of that identity left, because Islam itself is extremist to the core.
Bev says
A phobia is an irrational fear of something. There is nothing irrational about giving adherents of Islam a wide berth and keep them out of our country.
James Lincoln says
Well put Bev,
If a clear thinking person does not fear Islam, there is something severely wrong with them.
PRCS says
James,
To nitpick, as Bev notes, Islam’s adherents are the real problem.
Without compliant Muslims, Islam is just an ideology (albeit a hateful and violent ideology),
Guy Leven-Torres says
“Fear Islam”? No I treat it with the utter contempt it deserves.
James Lincoln says
Guy,
When I said that a clear thinking person should fear Islam, I was not suggesting that they should just be fearful – and do nothing.
All of my prior postings recommend the most aggressive actions against the Islamic threat to Western countries. I support the actions and positions taken by Poland and Hungary, for instance. I could go on and on but I think you get the idea.
I certainly agree with you that Islam should also be held in utter contempt. We are both on the same side of this.

“Hard line groups are ‘weaponizing’ Islamophobia, Government’s counter-extremism tsar warns,” by Camilla Turner,
Really? My Sheltie could have told you that.
Groups such as Hizb ut-Tahrir, for example – who traditionally rally against what they perceive to be western human rights – increasingly and cynically use human rights to promote Islamist ideology,” Ms Khan said….
Really? That is really groundbreaking stuff. I never would have guessed.
We pay people to make these conclusions? A Labrador could figure that out.
Antisemitism is just hatred. And it is just wrong….
Yeah, and I am trying to figure out exactly what Antisemitism really is. Newspeak?
I am sorry, but Judaism and Islam are not races, but religions.
Wellington says
May is dreadful for freedom but so is any argument for Islam as gravenimage has already mentioned in her 4:09 P.M. post above.
Put another way, people like Sara Khan are an obstacle to liberty PRECISELY because they continue to defend Islam at all.
There is no good Islam. There are many Muslims who are not a threat to freedom and other good things like equality under the law but such Muslims, however sincere and in the final analysis, are actually running interference for a creed which is a mortal enemy of liberty, starting with its horrid founder.
PRCS says
Sarah Haider (Ex Muslims of North America) made a very like minded assertion at 5:50 in the following Gad Saad Youtube clip:

Elisha says
She said that the “use and abuse” of the language of human rights is “perhaps the most concerning” tactic employed by fundamentalist groups.
Isn’t that the same tactic the awful George Soros is using against Hungary? Birds of a feather …
Joe Felon says
May is the worst type of hypocrite mankind has ever known. She has the nerve to claim she abhors anti-semitism and keeps those she accuses of practicing it out of Britain, yet she has never condemned the most blatant anti-semitic scum in her own government: Jeremy Corbyn and the Jew hating Labour Party. She also needs explain why Arab Christians, who are murdered while their homes and churches go up in flames, are not given anywhere near the same consideration as the barbaric muslims in terms of immigration.
dragaozao says
Islamophobia is a weapon from the start. Amazing it took so many years for this people to discover that!
WPM says
Islamophobia is the use of information to make decisions on what actions need to be taken to keep you and your family safe. It would be like if the part of town you live in crime started to go up, drug dealing ,arm robbing, violent crime was going up you make the decision to move because you could would you be a racist? No you made an inform decision to protect you and your family from violence. If you avoided areas in your town at night from fear of violence are you a racist or using your” knowledge” as a weapon ? If a landlord tries to have a one tenant throw out because he is threating and committing violence acts on the other 10 tenants in a building is he a bad landlord??When we say knowledge is a weapon ,I think we are saying ignorance makes us good slaves to the authorities who preach ignorance as a virtue ! You have human rights the first right of government is to protect its own citizens even it is at the expense of non-citizens trying to illegally enter across it borders .The balls of these Eastern European countries having throw off the yoke of communist overlords they will not submit to the Islamic overlords ,that what the OWG people are saying !
Heidi Walter says
May is about as psychopathic as Merkel. It is shocking that women, not just those two but also the feminists, support this stone age religion catapulting women back into the dark ages where there are nothing but a servant, worth less than a Camel, for their husbands and can be killed, beaten or dismissed when he feels like it. We fought hard and came a long way to obtain equal rights and we are still fighting for it on a daily basis so why are those female idiots fight for their demise?I strngly believe that those leftist women had to surrender their brain for their ideology. This Woman deserves our deepest respect for doing what she did and I hope her Family or any muslim who is after her to see her killed never Comes close to her. This is what good reads says about her “My Fight for Faith and Freedom

Sabatina James has been sentenced to death by her family. Sabatina spent half her childhood as an Islamic Pakistani living in Austria. Immersed in a westernized culture, she began to rebel against the stifling Islamic rules placed on women. Furious, her parents dragged her back to Pakistan under false pretences and announced an arranged engagement to her disrespectful cousin. After Sabatina refused the union, her family sent her by force to a strict Koran school where she endured constant beatings and mental abuse. In defiance of her oppressive conditions, she fled her family and converted to Christianity, an act deemed punishable by death in Islamic culture. Since then, her parents have pursued her to enact their retribution, causing Sabatina to live a lonely and reclusive life in hiding. But she has also persevered, becoming an activist for women’s rights and religious freedom. In the vein of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s memoir heartbreakingly illustrates the struggle of a young woman trapped between two incompatible cultures and her subsequent fight for freedom. This translation includes a new introduction in which Sabatina updates readers on her life since the book’s initial publication in Germany”. Everybody, but especially women, should read her book.

Our glorious leaders are so bright that after only decades they can figure out the basics.
revereridesagain says
Criminalizing an emotion while looking the other way as real crimes are committed in the name of Islam on a daily basis. Theresa May brags of banning scholars for telling the truth but would not lift a manicured finger to help a victim of sharia such as Sabatina James and probably would bar her from Britain.
mortimer says
Very well said … “criminalizing an emotion”.
They look the other way as Muslims PROMOTE GENOCIDE through their ESSENTIAL doctrines.
Jihad is COMPULSORY to all Muslims … ALL Muslims practice VERBAL JIHAD when they DISTORT the facts about jihad.
Theresa the Appeas-ah is CLUELESS DHIMMI POLITICIAN kowtowing to ISLAMIC SUPREMACISTS.

Theresa may has failed in every way possible. As native British we have the right to expect the elected government to protect and support our citizens as a FIRST PRIORITY. This she has patently failed to do.
Our children have been abused and misused (a fact known well before it was finally made public).
Murders on the streets and various places when nationality of perpetrators is covered up until the last minute. Far too many murders to be ‘incidental’ in relation to previous statistics, indicates some sort of change in circumstances.
Blatantly and determinedly pushing ahead a partisan Brexit agenda against the ‘will of the people.’
Allowing murderous scum into our country, whilst banning any and all who speak against them irrespective of the research that has been have carried out.
Expressing no desire whatsoever to help the Christian citizens of various nations hostile to Christianity, who are imprisoned, tortured, burned, raped, and murdered daily.
Has failed to address the blatant anti-Semitism in Parliament.
Now apparently, also ignoring, or at least failing to recognise and deal with a statement by a member of Government, regarding the misuse of the charge of ‘islamophobia.’
Bernard Luz says
Let’s see how far Judeophobia or Christophobia gets the rest of us! Everyone knows that all a crock!
