“Every speaker at the event condemned prejudice, harassment and discrimination against the Muslim community. But we also expressed concern that parliament’s sweeping definition of Islamophobia could be used to inhibit free speech and undermine legitimate criticisms of Islam, including criticisms of Islamic sexism and homophobia.”
Indeed. “Islamophobia” is a propaganda term that is used for two unrelated phenomena: vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others. The goal of this conflation is to inhibit such analysis and intimidate people into thinking it’s wrong to oppose jihad terror. And it’s working great.
“NUS head pulls out of Tory conference over ‘disturbing Islamophobia,'” by Sally Weale, Guardian, September 30, 2019:
The leader of the National Union of Students has pulled out of engagements at the Conservative party conference in protest at what she said was “deeply disturbing, downright Islamophobia” at a fringe event on Sunday.
The NUS president, Zamzam Ibrahim, had been due to speak at two sessions at the conference, in Manchester, this week but withdrew, claiming she could not participate in a conference that “denies the bigotry faced by Muslims on a daily basis”.
Ibrahim was responding to reports of an event called Challenging “Islamophobia”, hosted by the Policy Exchange thinktank and chaired by the writer and broadcaster Trevor Phillips. Also on the panel were the human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, the Tory MP Nusrat Ghani and the Muslim doctor and commentator Dr Qanta Ahmed.
The student leader did not attend herself, but journalists tweeting about the event reported that much of the debate focused on challenging the definition and use of the word Islamophobia, rather than the issue of Islamophobia itself.
Ibrahim also took exception to an exchange in which Phillips said he thought he was the only person present to have been nominated as “Islamophobe of the Year”, to which Peter Tatchell responded: “I’m jealous.” Tatchell later said he was making an “ironic joke”.
The former Conservative party chair Lady Warsi echoed the NUS leader’s dismay at the event, saying on Twitter that she felt “sick to my stomach to see the party I chaired sink to such depths”….
Tatchell said nobody had denied the existence of anti-Muslim bigotry. “Every speaker at the event condemned prejudice, harassment and discrimination against the Muslim community.
“But we also expressed concern that parliament’s sweeping definition of Islamophobia could be used to inhibit free speech and undermine legitimate criticisms of Islam, including criticisms of Islamic sexism and homophobia.”
Phillips said the reporting of the event was unrepresentative of what was actually said. “The idea that offends me is that what is being said here is that anybody who does not have the mark of approval of Baroness Warsi and others can’t have anything to say about the position of British Muslims and I think that’s wrong.”

They are using the word ‘Islamophobia’ as the equivalent of ‘BLASPHEMY’. In Sharia law, ANY criticism of Islam or any perceived critique by one of the DIRTY KUFAAR is grounds for them to be KILLED. Any Muslim may kill a DIRTY KAFIR.
From Sharia manual Reliance of the Traveller’ Chapter ‘O’ 11.10.05:
“The (DHIMMI) agreement is also violated (A: with respect to the offender alone) if the state has stipulated that any of the following things break it, and one of the subjects does so anyway, though if the state has not stipulated that these break the agreement, then they do not; namely, if one of the subject people:
-5- mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam.”
Sharia permits anyone to kill those who verbally opposes Islam, since they are at war with Islam:
“There is no indemnity obligatory for killing a non-Muslim (harbi) at war with Muslims.” -Reliance of the Traveller, o4.17, p.593
National Union of Students has just called for jihad against the Tory party in England.
Angemon says
Yes, but you’re an islamophobe so whatever you say doesn’t matter – see how that scam works?…
Alexious Comnenus says
Islamophobia is a political innovation of muslims who live in the Christian countries and who do nothing, just live and breed on the expense of the stupid western politicians. Thus is the hagira! All the muslims should be expelled from all the western countries and see sent back to their own countries. Period!
mortimer says
Dear Noxious, your hatred of human rights and the dignity of the person is observed. Your vicious ideation was condemned and harshly punished at Nuremburg. I will say this for you: ‘It’s the IDEOLOGY’. Muslims are human with wrong information. Most Muslims are too tender-hearted to conduct jihad.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, these humans with the wrong information want to murder Infidels such as yourself. Why should we allow more of them to continue to flood in?
And the idea that the Nazis just deported people is grotesque. Surely you don’t believe that the Holocaust was about deportation?

“…your hatred of human rights and the dignity of the person is observed….”
——————————————-
Always enjoy reading your posts, Mortimer, but logically – why do you appear to consider it worse for people to leave a country to which they have recently migrated, than it was for them to leave the country where they’ve lived for generations, and share a culture, language, religion, have family, friends etc .
There is the same illogicality about the “palestinian” diaspora, where the Left simultaneously argue that it is so terrible for people to leave their homeland, that these Iraqis / Syrians / Jordanians etc must “return” to Israel where they weren’t born, and which generally wasn’t their grand-parents/great-grandparents homeland anyway.
However, if the same Iraqis / Syrians / Jordanians wish to move to the West, then leaving their homeland and culture, language, religion, family and friends behind doesn’t matter at all…..
Giacomo Latta says
”Most muslims are too tender-hearted to conduct jihad”
If you are talking about those that have never attended a mosque, nor a madrassa, nor have ever read the koran then there is a remote chance of that. If you are talking about any others, then you have 72 virgins coming your way because you are leading the jihad yourself.
J D S says
There just might be some docile Muslims out there with “tender hearts” out there who want to see FREE SPEECH for themselves and everyone else….but, but, but, these 3 Things HOLD THEM in place as it has since the very beginning of islam….FORCE, FEAR and THE APOSTATE LAW. and now it seems that Islamist want those things placed upon us all.
somehistory says
moslims may be human, but they believe they have the “right” to kill off the rest of us if we won’t convert to the worship of their evil beast.
One of the “rights” of humans is to ***live***…but when they take the life of another human, they lose that right to live. moslims are taught to hate us and to kill us and one can never know when the moslim sitting beside a person on the bus, walking in the grocery store, climbing onto a plane, driving a truck, car of bus, walking into a doctor’s office, etc. is going to decide that it’s their turn to take a life or several.
If all moslims went back to the country from which they came, or their parents/grandparents came, they could live there and work and shop and wear what they want and think what they want.
For a non moslim to wish this would happen is not nearly the same as what the nazi’s did to the Jews, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Gypsies, and others during hitler’s evil dictatorship.
It would not be a denial of their human rights for them to stay where they were born to keep them from murdering innocent people.
dumbledoresarmy says
Agreed. Got Muslims? got jihad. If no Muslims had been admitted into France the bloke who Went Jihad on four unsuspecting colleagues would likely not have converted to Islam – he wouldn’t have had contact with Musilms, in particular, the Muslim female he married – and four people would be alive today, who now are dead. I’ve had it with playing ‘Muslim roulette’. First, we stop letting in any more. Then, we cancel the citizenship / residency of those who have waltzed off to other countries to wallow in a jihad bloodbath (or to cheer on / assist those who are so doing); and prevent them from returningi into infidel lands. Then we simply refuse to renew the visas of any that are not citizens. Then we look at annulling the citizenship status of those who are manifestly dangerous… Bit by bit, one applies pressure to bring about a separation of the lands of the infidels from the lands already devoured by Islam.. and to *quarantine* the dar-al-Islam.

Spot on, DDA.
Westman says
You say I am an Islamophobe, which says I fear you, yet, you are an Apartheidist which means you say I’m an inferior unbeliever, squatting in your Muslim world, worthy of extorted jizya and death. You say I deserve to burn in Hell forvever at Allah’s pleasure and relish the thought.
Then you expect us to welcome you with open arms when it appears that another type of arms is warranted for our protection. Are you really that dense?
Trick_or_Treat says
Well, I’d like to tell these gormless morons (just in case they’ve had their eyes wide-shut about global and domestic muslim/islam related events since 9/11) that not just a few of us around the planet are also just a little alarmed at the disturbing ‘everyoneelsephobia’ that is being actively propagated and perpetrated by muslims world-wide – and which I strongly suspect might have a little bit of a connection with the commandments contained in their filthy qur’an that orders them to hate, persecute, and kill all the rest of us .
And if their equally intellectually spastic, so-called journalist, useful idiot apologists in the media happen to think that it is being ‘islamaphobic’ to be just a tad concerned about all this, then fair enough, I’m ‘islamaphobic’ – if that’s what they must insist on calling it. But, at the end of the day, the truth still remains the truth, no matter how much you block your ears and don’t want to hear it, just the same as a pig still remains a pig, no matter how much lipstick, mascara, and rouge you put on it.

UK: National Union of Students pulls out of Conservative Party conference because of “disturbing Islamophobia”
……………..
How did Zamzam Ibrahim ever wind up as head of the National Union of Students in the UK?
Of course–unsurprisingly–the NUS became a hard leftist organization back in the 1960s.
In October 2014, NUS National Executive Committee rejected a motion to condemn the Islamic State because some executive members “felt that the wording of the motion being presented would unfairly demonise all Muslims rather than solely the group of people it set out to rightfully condemn.” (But note that previously they had had no problem condemning the UKIP).
Previous heads of NUS have been antisemites, including Malia Bouattia, also Muslim–but not, it seems, a Hijabi like Ibrahim. In other words, they keep getting worse.
Ibrahim has also called the government’s “Prevent” anti-radicalisation program to be scrapped–no surprise there. She has previously called for white people to be oppressed.
The NUS is also £3m in the red…
Save Europe says
There is NO Islamophobia within the Tory Party.
The NUS in the UK has always been pro Marxist and Left Wing.
I note they said NOTHING about anti Semitism within the Labour Party.
somehistory says
And she believes that not going and talking…twice…will hurt those who didn’t hear her talk…twice.
I’m sure the meeting was pleasant without her.
The “phobia’ that doesn’t exist is a weapon moslims and their supporters use to bludgeon the non molsim into submission. But, the word only has the power that the non moslim gives it at any particular time.
The 23rd Psalm says in one place, “I will fear no evil, for YOU (God) are with me.”
If one does not have a fear of evil, and this being a true fear, then one doesn’t have an unreasonable fear of evil, either. I don’t fear islam. I hate it, am disgusted by it, pray for it to be destroyed by Christ and look forward to the time when it “will be no more.”

Great let the kids of the uninformed privileged elite drain themselves. Im sure real conservatives wont miss these snowflakes. Tey can’t handle the truth so they just cover their ears and eyes and follow their leeaders into hell. Much like the kids of the Nazi Youth movement.
Eur says
In the autonomous (Spanish) cities of Ceuta and Melilla, Muslims have already claimed that during Ramadan (a whole month and that usually coincides with the end of the school year, summer starts, parties …) all concerts should be banned outdoors and any activity that disturbs the silence that must prevail during Ramadan. Why are people still so deceived? Where is the motto so hippie that it said “forbidden to forbid?” Muslims demonstrate again and again that they do not want to live together, they just want to live in the West but aspiring to be a majority to impose their theocracy. Islamophobia in most cases is synonymous with blasphemy, an excuse to censor any criticism and punish the sinner. Do Muslims have the right to live in the West? Well … Westerners also have the right to live without having any contact with Islam. The best thing for all would be for Muslims to live in isolation from the rest of humanity with their theocracy, their sharia, their Islamic banks, their ramadan … They would be happy in that oppressive environment and the rest of humanity could live without suffering attacks, without having to see halal shits, veils, chilabas, hear chants and Islamic prayers …

But I wonder WHY there is no protest about that Elephant in the Room of islam{there are many,many Elephants*..so many it’s like being at the Serengeti}
The DISTURBING MISOGYNY of islam.
That hijab?It is worn in honor of a pagan Arab god al LAH,the god who HATES women sending them to hell{Sahih muslim 241} on the charge of TAKFURNA{being ‘ungrateful’}
A god who says women are STUPID.
That doesn’t sound very enlightened.
Or that the reason the testimony of a woman is HALF that of a man k2:282 is due to what muhamed said was “the DEFICIENCY of a woman’s mind”[Sahih bukhari 2658}
Imagine any woman wearing a hijab in honor of such a misogynistic,chauvinist bigot of a god: a god who knows LESS Biology than any modern woman{See on You Tube “scientif ic mistakes in the koran’:see how allah gets the Biology{anatomy and physiology} behind human reproductive biology LAUGHABLY WRONG}
*So many Elephants in the Room:like islam is a religion of PEACE,the prophet muhamed who FAILED the poison test thus proving himself a FALSE prophet is somehow a prophet,the koran which is riddled with scientific/logical/theology errors{concerning Christianity at least} is the “perfect” book…so many rampaging Elephants in the Room of islam..
FYI says
You can’t spell MuHAMmed without HAM:is that..is that…”islamophobic” or “hate speech”?
I’d love a HAMburger but that might just be offensive to muslims-lefties..possibly racist{to the hamfisted, hamfaced ham people of hamistan..}

Mortimer is correct..
My comment relating to these people?.. …This ‘community’ and counter-culture, and ‘culture’ of anti-civilization crazy people and professional con-artists is the following:
They are sneaky little pieces of ‘Political Trash’, and extremely dangerous maniacs, always claiming ‘victim-hood’ for cover, whilst engaging in never ending and barbaric mischief..
1,400 years of their history proves this point very nicely.. Minnesota is now full of this sort of ‘Political Trash’.. And, they are slick and ‘smooth’..
This IS the face of evil personified..
