“However, the report cites other arguments from Oxford University student Bertie Vidgen, that ‘giving up the term Islamophobia – and with it the possibility of creating legal instruments to tackle it – simply because of the perceived risk that may limit free speech would be highly misguided.'”
Why is the UK Parliament citing a university student? In any case, Bertie asserts that it “would be highly misguided” to refraining from criminalizing “Islamophobia” “simply because of the perceived risk that may limit free speech.” At least in this article, he does not support his assertion with either evidence or argument. In reality, forbidding criticism of any individual, group or idea in itself means the end of the freedom of speech, as the one rendered immune from criticism is then free to do whatever he, she, or it wants without fear of any opposition at all, and that is the very definition of tyranny.
“University lecturer Ben Whitham highlights ‘the concept of inseparability of race and religion, whereby an attack on the religion cannot be separated from an attack on the race,’ the report also says.”
This is moronic. Muslims aren’t only of one race. There are white people who are fervent believers in Islam, such has Hamas-linked CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper, the late al-Qaeda jihadi Adam Gadahn, the Marin County Taliban John Walker Lindh, North Carolina jihad plotters Justin Sullivan and Donald Ray Morgan, would-be Wichita jihad bomber Terry Lee Loewen, Boston Marathon jihad bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, UK “Sharia patrol” leader Jordan Horner, failed former Brandeis Professor Joseph Lumbard, and many, many others. Is criticizing any of them “racist”?
“Examples of ‘Islamophobia’ listed including claiming it is terrorism to support an independent Palestine, calling Muhammad a paedophile, and ‘claims of Muslims spreading Islam by the sword or subjugating minority groups under their rule.'”
This demonstrates that this entire initiative is a totalitarian war against reality. The “Palestinian” jihad is inextricably tied to terrorism (scroll the articles here if you doubt that); Islamic sources themselves state that Muhammad raped a nine-year-old girl when he was 54 (evidence here); and Muslims did spread Islam by the sword and subjugated minority groups under their rule. The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS is full of evidence, mostly from Islamic sources, that for 1,400 years, everywhere they went from Spain to India, Muslims spread Islam by the sword and subjugated minority groups under their rule. I challenge Baroness Warsi or anyone else to prove from the historical record that this statement is false. No one, of course, will take up that challenge, because Warsi and her cohorts doubtless know that Muslims did spread Islam by the sword and subjugate minority groups under its rule.
Yet now they’re seeking to criminalize stating this truth. If Britain implements this proposal, it will be officially dead as a free society. This has been a long time coming, and is perhaps inevitable at this point.
“UK Lawmakers Call for ‘Islamophobia’ to Be Officially Classed as Racism,” by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, November 27, 2018:
A group of British Parliamentarians have demanded “Islamophobia” be officially classed as a form of racism in the UK, claiming the country is deeply prejudiced and unfair towards Muslims.
The new parliamentary report blames “prevalent” Islamophobia for divisions, hate crimes, and even terror attacks. It also appears to reject claims criminalising comments about Islam will restrict free speech and calls for an official definition of “Islamophobia.”
Examples of “Islamophobia” listed including claiming it is terrorism to support an independent Palestine, calling Muhammad a paedophile, and “claims of Muslims spreading Islam by the sword or subjugating minority groups under their rule.”
The document comes from the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Muslims, which is led by leading anti-Brexit Tory MP Anna Soubry.
Tory Peer Baroness Warsi, the group’s Treasurer, commented on the document release: “Islamophobia is a form of racism – like antisemitism it’s time it got its own definition.”
Labour MP Wes Streeting added: “Islamophobia isn’t just anti-Muslim hatred. It’s about everyday discrimination that takes place — targeting Muslimness or perceived Muslimness. It is rooted in racism and is a type of racism. It can be deliberate or unconscious bias.”
The findings were also backed by the Muslim Council of Britain, linked to the pro-Caliphate Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, which was recently criticised for working with groups calling for apostates to be killed.
When consultation for the report was launched, a UKIP spokesman criticised the parliamentary group for taking evidence from groups allegedly linked to Islamism and extremism and “making rules and definitions which are likely to curtail the freedoms which have been hard-won over centuries of British history.”
The document also claims Muslims are widely oppressed in the UK and blames British society for Muslims not being as economically successful as some other groups.
It says: “British society at large, by virtue of normalised prejudice against Muslim beliefs and practice, have come to imbibe a panoply of falsehoods or misrepresentations and discriminatory outlooks.”
Adding: “Academic research has consistently shown that British Muslims face considerably high levels of economic disadvantage than other groups in Britain.”…
However, the report cites other arguments from Oxford University student Bertie Vidgen, that “giving up the term Islamophobia – and with it the possibility of creating legal instruments to tackle it – simply because of the perceived risk that may limit free speech would be highly misguided.”
University lecturer Ben Whitham highlights “the concept of inseparability of race and religion, whereby an attack on the religion cannot be separated from an attack on the race,” the report also says….

We have Jesus Christ, therefore, we have need of nothing else. The West’s rejection of God’s truth and His sacrifice on the cross at Calvary is plain to see in the punishment it now receives from Him, just as the rebellious Israelites, over and over and over again:
“I will make justice the measuring line
And righteousness the level;
Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies
And the waters will overflow the secret place.
Your covenant with death will be canceled,
And your pact with Sheol will not stand;
When the overwhelming scourge passes through,
Then you become its trampling place.
As often as it passes through, it will seize you;
For morning after morning it will pass through, anytime during the day or night,
And it will be sheer terror to understand what it means.” – Isaiah 28:17-19

There is no such phenomenon as “Islamophobia”. There are people who wish to discuss FGM, and “honour” killings which always involve the murder of women, and the second class rights of women and the stoning of women accused of adultery, etc., etc. Such people do not necessarily dislike Islam or Muslims. If we criminalise “Islamophobia” we should also criminalise anti-Semitism.

Or what about Christianophobia, seems islams and muslins can persecute Christianity without being penalized but the moment we criticize islam, we’re islamophobes and racists and charged.
Walter Sieruk says
To criminalize the spoken word and keyboarding of those who rightly explain that Islam was actually spread by the sword is awful . As in main great and terrible gains by brutal ruthless violence is prohibiting freedom of speech and on that such a law that would criminalize that truthful statement of is making truth expounding illegal
If such an absurd law is passed in the UK the that would mean if Imam, Ayatollah Khomeini was still alive and well he would be arrested for speaking about he spread of Islam by violence. .
As shown in the following two sources of information..
First ,many young people and strangely many older people, who are Westerns who in the United States as well other countries of the West are, no doubt sincere but very misinformed ,as in misled, therefore say ,because they believe it, that “Islam is a peaceful and non-violent religion .” To those people the first and supreme Ayatollah, who was the very head this current Islamic regime of Iran knows better stated about how he feels about those naive Westerns .For he declared “Islam grew with blood….Islam is a religion of blood for the infidels” He also said “Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war….I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” [1]
So, in other words Ayatollah Khomeini felt nothing but arrogant contempt for those people who say that his religion “Is a peaceful religion” and understand that they in ignorant and uninformed.
Therefore the West needs to wake up to the reality of the truth about the actual violent essence of this religion.
[1] THE ISLAM IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM, pages 336,339.
Second, Ayatollah Khomeini was the Imam who was so powerful that he played large role in the establishment of the current Islamic tyranny of Iran which has the official title of “ The Islamic Republic of Iran” Khomeini had declared “ Jihad or Holy War ,which is for the conquest of [other ] countries and kingdoms , becomes incumbent after the formation of the Islamic State in the presence of the Imam or in accordance with his command. Then Islam makes it incumbent on all males…to prepare themselves for the conquest of countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world… those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world. The goal of this conquest would be to establish the hegemony of Islamic law.” [1]

Except he wouldn’t, Walter. Jihadists in Britain preach the spread of Islam by violence all the time, and rarely so much as attract any attention. Whereas, good people who point this out are condemned, harassed, and even imprisoned. What has become of once-great Britain?
James Lincoln says

If this becomes the law of the land in the UK, the country is totally finished as a free society. Freedom loving people will not include the UK in their discretionary travel.

Grimly true, James.
The Istanbulian says
We have the right to the monopoly use of violence at our discretion and if you complain you are racist and if Israel uses force to defend itself it is racist and if the people of south sudan use force to defending themselves it is racism and if the
Kurds use force to defend themselves it is racism and if the copts use force to defend themselves it is racism and if….ad nauseum
Walter Sieruk says
To deny the reality of the truth the Islam had been as still is spread by violence is absurd . To go even further and criminalize speaking writing and keyboarding that truth is worst ten absurd .
Under such a law the imams ,mullahs and ayatollahs be criminals .
For example, the first Muslim cleric and tyrant of rule and head this current Islamic regime of Iran ,Ayatollah Khomeini did come right out and state the truth ,for once, he declared “Islam grew with blood…The great prophet of Islam on one hand carried the Koran and in the other a sword… Islam is a religion of blood for the infidels.” Later Khomeini also said “Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam is against war…Whenever good there is exist thanks to the sword and the shadow of the sword.” [1] Of course that is “good “as defined by this Ayatollah is Islam and things that are Islamic. As for his total endorsement of war for Islam on this subject he stands in opposition to the Person of Jesus Who taught “Blessed are the merciful: for they see God.” and “Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called children of God.” [2]
Furthermore, Ayatollah Khomeini also taught the “death should not be feared but welcomed as a means to fight and Allah.” Khomeini likewise when speaking to his Brainwashed Muslim followers he “tried to convince them that death is to be coveted and life shunned “ he taught that “death offered purification and the exalted status as a martyr.” [1] Of this three things should be made clear. First. Khomeini died and old man in his bed and he didn’t die “martyr “fighting for the cause of Allah” he just convinced and mind programed other people to do so , he didn’t practice what he taught , that coward. Second is words reflects other Muslim clerics be they mullahs imams of other ayatollahs about the exalted status of a “martyr” The empty lying false and false words As “We will honor you “ and You will go to paradise “ and “We are doing this for Allah.” That’s sure some strange “We” For none of the Muslim clerics die by engaging in deadly jihad attacks, even though they claim to believe that doing so is such grand and wonderful thing to do. What hypocrites they are. Third, this further exposes Islam as a death cult. Such teaching by those Muslim clerics is in strong contradiction to the Words of Jesus. Who taught “I am come that they might have life have it more abundantly.” [2]

Britain has lost its mind. The British are so afraid of Islam that they may make it a crime to tell the truth about Islam. Of all the beliefs that motivate people religious beliefs are the strongest motivators. No ideology should be off limits from contestation, but in particular, free people must be free to contest religious beliefs if we are to remain free.
Islam wasn’t spread by the sword? Seriously? You might as well argue that the sun sets in a muddy pool. Are they going to burn the Muslim source texts?

very sympathetic towards it, which is why they always pretend to
misunderstand such things and do their best to deflect from it.
Islam is such a useful tool for them, one with which they
can carry on their evil acts with even more impunity.
Don’t be surprised if there are a number of native Brits, mainly
from these groups, converting.
Then, any criticism of their unspeakably vile acts will result in
people being thrown into prison for “racism”.
They’re so angry at things like the Rotherham scandal etc. being

Anjuli Pandavar says
Britain’s very own M103. It takes just one Muslim in high political office. Minnesota, your M103 is coming right up. Hear the bells toll, people. They toll for you.
The late Christopher Hitchens spent a great deal of his life and energy warning about this very moment. The first freedom to be attacked will be the freedom of speech. It is the freedom on which all other freedom is built. And in its application, criticism of religion is the most important criticism. All of what we know as free society rests on this.
When it nevertheless becomes illegal to commit the completely nonsensical and legally undefinable crime of “Islamophobia”, its legal basis will be “hurt to Muslims’ feelings”. Many seem unaware (or perhaps couldn’t care) that “hurt to Muslims’ feelings” being elevated to the basis of law (as the ECtHR has just done) is no different to Turkey’s “insulting Turkishness” under which so many have been imprisoned and tortured, or China’s “hurting China’s feelings”. It is a recipe for arbitrary rule and oppression. In other words, it is the end of the rule of law.
With Canada, Minnesota, the UK Parliament, the EU, Germany, Sweden, the UN — you name the rest — all with Muslims in high political office or with powerful influence over those polities, they are all being lined up like ducks. Muslims have smelt blood and they’re on the move. The moment for jihad’s one big push is fast approaching.
What Islam has in store for us is much, much worse than “1984”, “Brave New World” and “The 120 Days of Sodom” combined: ISIS on steroids. Why do I say this? I say this because for the first time in its long, terrible history, Islam will attempt to subjugate a free people. The last time it subjugated Europeans, Europe was either itself still practising slavery, or was living under feudalism in its various forms and stages, or had just emerged from it. The parts of Europe from which the Ottoman caliphate was finally driven in the earlier twentieth century was also, at the time, its most socially backward. The free world is now, of course, far larger than just Europe.
How to dhimmify a free people? When I say “free people”, I do not mean free as apposed to enslaved. I mean free as in autonomous. By a free people I mean a society of autonomous individuals, legally equal to all other individuals, similarly autonomous. The Qur’an has no answers to the problems that Muslims will run into when they next turn to “kill the ones closest to you”. Muslims have no notion of what a free person is or how a free person’s head works. They can only conceive of free people as particularly bad sinners. They do not understand that we do not obey not because we are disobedient, but because we dispose over personal ethics, we think critically and we take our own decisions. They fail to grasp that we do not fear them or their religion, but that instead, we despise both. This is incomprehensible to an adherent of a supremacist creed.
In their incredibly simplistic world view, they feel the superiority of Islam vindicated with each Cat Stevens, each Sinead O’Connor and each infidel half-wit who says the shahada and adopts an Arabic name. The ones who convert are the extreme losers and drop-outs from free society, but they are worse only by degrees than those infidels who are sympathetic towards Islam, or those infidels who insist that Islam is “just like any other religion”, or those infidels for whom the existence of peaceful Muslims proves the non-existence of violent ones. Of course, every one of these deluded souls serves some purpose in furthering jihad, whether they know it or not. But with infidels who stand up to jihad, especially in the face of attacks from other infidels, with ex-Muslims, and especially with atheists, Muslims and Islamic apologists are simply way out of their depth. The don’t know what’s hit them as there’s no archetype for this kind of “refusal to accept Islam.” All-knowing Allah failed to mention such people in his perfect book.
From the perspective of jihad, the closest historical analogy to autonomous individuals, especially atheist and particularly ex-Muslim atheists, is Hindus. The analogy applies only in so far as such free people, similarly to Hindus, are not People of the Book and as such must be offered only conversion to Islam or death. No dhimmi option. Whereas, according to The History of Jihad from Muhammad to ISIS, jihad floundered in India for lack of the means of killing in the volumes required by the Qur’an, such means do exist today and have been vastly improved since the Third Reich employed them. This is why I say that there will be no recovery from humanity’s next stint with barbarism. And that barbarism is marching confidently ahead behind its shield of “Islamophobia”.
When, in the wake of the collapse of Stalinism. Francis Fukuyama talked of “the end of history”, I’m afraid he was jumping the gun. Unless Islam is stopped and pushed back, preferable obliterated, his prophesy might well come to fulfil itself.

Tory Peer Baroness Warsi:- “Islamophobia is a form of racism – like antisemitism it’s time it got its own definition.”….
Is this woman so deluded or stupid that she doesn’t realise that we’re all aware that anything to do with ‘semitism’ relates directly to an ethnic group, and therefore to people who have no control over their genetic identity, whereas those professing islam can be of any racial background and can assume a new ‘religious’ identity anytime they want? Yet she tries to play the race card to give her non-argument some kind of false credibility, obviously believing we’re all as stupid as she is. And again, she seems to assume that people aren’t aware that a ‘phobia’ is an ‘irrational fear’, a concept that is completely irrelevant in a situation where educated people have adversely assessed islam on the basis of the unacceptable content of its of its canon and the atrocious behaviour and attitudes of its followers based on those writings. Yet she persists in trying to score cheap, ignorant points. Definition of a cretin.
Labour MP Wes Streeting added: “Islamophobia isn’t just anti-Muslim hatred. It’s about everyday discrimination that takes place — targeting Muslimness or perceived Muslimness…..”
We have had more than enough evidence to come to an educated conclusion as what ‘muslimness’ is, since we have seen it at work amongst the girls n Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford, Oxford, Bradford, Keighley, and on the streets of Tower Hamlets…..in fact anywhere where muslims have been allowed congregate in any numbers. And we have seen the effects of ‘muslimness’ in 7/7 on the London Underground, in the Manchester Arena, on Westminster and London Bridges, not mention the Twin Towers, Berlin Christmas Market, etc., etc… Only an idiot would not ‘discriminate’ against that, as indeed they would correctly ‘discriminate’ against any other toxic environmental pollutant.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Thank you for boldly criticising Muslims and Muslimness. It is still the counter-jihad’s greatest weakness, in my opinion. Fear of being lumped in with anti-Muslim bigots still deflects many of us from this important task. Islam is neither an abstract theory, nor does it exist in a vacuum. Its horrific prescriptions would be meaningless without an umma to carry them out. To make any real inroads against jihad also requires us to understand Muslims, their psychology, their hang-ups, the complex social and personal dynamics at work amongst them and the interplay between them and Islam. This requires fearlessly and confidently calling them out. If anyone wants to call me “Islamophobic” or “racist”, knock yourself out. I’ve got more important things to get on with.
For a fast track into all-about-Muslims, I’d especially recommend Hamed Abdel Samad and Ibn Warraq.
mortimer says
WHAT IS “ISLAMOPHOBIA” ???
ISLAMOPHOBIA is a propaganda word whose purpose is to disarm non-Muslims ideologically. ISLAMOPHOBIA is a verbal trick designed to make people feel it is immoral to discuss JIHADIC TERRORISM, to brush off their valid concerns and render non-Muslims ideologically defenceless against jihadic aggression. (All jihad is political aggression.)
Islamophobia is a word custom-designed by the Muslim Brotherhood to stop people from thinking clearly about jihad terrorism.
Islamophobia is a PROPAGANDISTIC TERM, and an ILLOGICAL TERM.
It is a FALLACY IN REASONING … the Strawman Fallacy or a Frankenword or a Cheap Shot or a Conflation of the Legitimate Dislike of an Ideology with an Unfair Prejudice against People or the Self-Righteousness Fallacy or a Question-begging Strategy or a Definist Fallacy to Declare Victory prior to Discussion in order to Prevent all Reasoned Debate about Islamic Ideology. “Islamophobia” is a word whose aim is to stop people from thinking analytically about jihad terrorism.
In the Frankenword or Definist Fallacy, a propagandist defines the terms in the argument so as to create PREJUDICE against his opponent, thus giving himself an UNFAIR ADVANTAGEm even before the opponent’s argument has been presented. Islamophobia is a FRANKENWORD, also called a “portmanteau word”. It combines two unrelated thoughts in order to create a shorthand term that bypasses a lengthy explanation and intellectual scrutiny. A Frankenword is a form of verbal terrorism that uses emotion rather than reason to replace valid arguments. A Frankenword is NOT an argument, but a distraction.
The term ‘Islamophobia’ is also a labor-saving device thrown about by lazy scoundrels.
‘Islamophobia’ is a word that bypasses the laborious presentation of proof, namely to prove that a person who is thereby slandered is guilty of a crime. ‘Islamophobia’ allows the ‘judge’ to simply skip the whole trial process and go directly from an accusation to the sentencing, leaving out the requirement to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt prior to applying condemnation and punishment. ‘Islamophobia’ is a perfect term for the unscrupulous.
‘Islamophobia’ is a perfect term for the intellectually lazy. ‘Islamophobia’ is a way of saying someone is guilty without a trial or a proper hearing of the case. That is why it is often pronounced with such smug triumphalism. Smug people who use the term want to escape from the burden of having to prove whether their accusation of bigotry is valid or not. Whoever protests the term is taken by the denial to be guilty… talk about intellectual sloth.
The ‘Islamophobia’ Strawman Fallacy is like the mindless, medieval witch test: if the alleged witch was thrown bound into a pond and floated, she was guilty, but if she sank and drowned, then she was innocent. Either way, the witch died. That’s the technique modern Leftards are using to stop analysis and debate about Islamic jihad, supremacism and Islamic misogyny. They’ve found a way to throw the ideological opposition down the well without a proper hearing of their arguments. No one need listen to a ‘witch’. Throw them down the well!
The purpose of the term ‘ISLAMOPHOBIA’ is ultimately to make people think that it is wrong to DISCUSS ISLAMIC TERRORISM, especially after JIHADIST ATTACKS and JIHADIST MURDERS have occurred. The presumption of the ‘Islamophobia’ term is Islam is benign and that only a malicious person or a madman would criticize it. Islam has an actual doctrine of world conquest called ‘JIHAD’, therefore, it is rational to criticize Islam.
Thus, the ‘Islamophobia’ term is seen to be no more than a PROPAGANIDISTIC slander without any purpose but avoiding a reasoned, intellectual analysis of Islam’s canonical JIHAD DOCTRINE.
Peter A says
‘Islamophobia’
A control word used by Muslims and the Left to try and silence and shout down any criticism of Islam by inferring that there is something wrong with you.
A phobia is an irrational hatred or fear. There is nothing irrational about fearing or hating or rejecting Islam which is a violent, divisive, backward, supremacist and intolerant ideology.
It wants complete control over your life, including punishment for challenging or rejecting its authority.
Women, Jews, gays and non-believers have good reason to fear islam, it has a track record of actual violence, and threats of violence to anyone who dares to challenge or criticise it.

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father THE DEVIL, and the desires of your father you want to do. He WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING, and does not stand in the truth, because THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for HE IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF IT. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore YOU DO NOT HEAR, BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT OF GOD.” – John 8:42-47

IS ISLAM A RACE ??? Well, is the CHURCH OF ENGLAND a ‘RACE’ ??? Let’s see …
QUOTE: “University lecturer Ben Whitham highlights ‘the concept of inseparability of race and religion, whereby an attack on the religion cannot be separated from an attack on the race,’ the report also says.”
Let us compare Whitham’s thesis with THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND and the ANGLICAN COMMUNION to see if Whitham’s claim is true or false:
With an approximate 85 million followers in the world, the Anglican communion is the third largest in Christendom.
The Anglican Church in England has a following of 26,000,000 people. In second position, the Church of Nigeria has about 18,000,000 Anglicans, while the Church of the Province of Uganda is third with approximately 8,000,000 followers. Closing the top five is the Anglican Church of Kenya with 5,000,000 and a tie in the fifth place with the Church of South India and the Anglican Church of South Africa with 4,000,000 Anglicans each.
So, in the case of the Anglican Church, we see that about 60 % of Anglicans are non-European and so we conclude that ANGLICANS ARE NOT A ‘RACE’ and therefore the CLAIM OF BEN WHITHAM IS FALSE.
A RELIGION is DISTINCT FROM a RACE.

UK MP’s call for “Islamophobia” to be classed as “racism,” want to criminalize claims that Islam spread by the sword
…………………………..
Islam, of course, is not a race–it is an ideology, and a damned ugly one.
More:
“However, the report cites other arguments from Oxford University student Bertie Vidgen, that ‘giving up the term Islamophobia – and with it the possibility of creating legal instruments to tackle it – simply because of the perceived risk that may limit free speech would be highly misguided.’”
…………………………..
Gee–how could crushing peaceful freedom of speech *possibly* be considered to be limiting free speech? sarc/off
More:
“Examples of ‘Islamophobia’ listed including claiming it is terrorism to support an independent Palestine, calling Muhammad a paedophile, and ‘claims of Muslims spreading Islam by the sword or subjugating minority groups under their rule.’”
…………………………..
So now truth is a phobia? Only for these dhimmi tools.

‘giving up the term Islamophobia – and with it the possibility of creating legal instruments to tackle it – simply because of the perceived risk that may limit free speech would be highly misguided.’”
What HAS happened in the UK? Not even an Oxford University student can write clear, correct English.
“……..because of the perceived risk that may limit free speech ……”. Does the writer mean “……..because of the perceived risk that TO DO SO may limit free speech ……”? Why should I have to read this several times?

The Intergovernmental Conference to Adopt the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, will be held in Marrakech, Morocco on 10 and 11 December 2018.
The compact is just a covert islamic operation created for easing the path of muslim migrant from their poor home countries to the rich west – ready for plundering and its own destruction by islamic hordes.
Let us create an international memorial day of infamy – the 11’th December – where criticism of islamic migration was criminalized and extermination of the western civilisation was authorized officially.

If this becomes law surely the Koran would be banned.

See how these lazy welfare boozers blame British society for their backwardness. They will not lift a single brick for the development of the UK but will be first in line to claim all benefits and still say that they are being discriminated. Same attitude in India too… These leeches spend all their day in cursing and ranting and raving against Khafirs and then they say complain against Islamophobia.

Anyone who criticizes the perfection of Islam, is calling Allah a liar…
That’s why there is really no such thing as a reformer or moderate….
Is Allah a liar? I don’t know, does the sun really set in a muddy spring?

Islam is NOT a Race, FFS!! It is a vile, evil political ideology, with the tag of being a “religion”. It openly endorses its members to commit: theft, murder, rape, paedophilia slavery, subjugation of “non-members. Can anyone name another “religion” that endorses this conduct?
Mark Swan says
What is wrong with having a strong dislike or disgust for Islam—
what is wrong with openly expressing this opinion–nothing is
wrong with this.
These people are obviously being manipulated by very well
organized Muslims and their supporters who know full well
this repugnant Ideology can not stand the light of day.
Any close public scrutiny of Islam will reveal it for what it is—
a Militant, Political Ideology, feigning religion—using both
stealth Jihad and violent Jihad in conjunction, to affect favorable
results for its intent—CONTROL.
There is no greater threat to democratic free societies than Islam—
it uses votes to get to where it wants to be—where it will try to crush
all democratic ideas, which are a direct threat to its Sharia Law—
a mindless approach which combines civil and religious justice.
The followers of the worst Ideology, ever, feel above and beyond
any law, other than Sharia, of course, Sharia strictly forbids any
comments not favorable to Islam.
This is a Special Ideology—or it is not—that is being tested here.
