“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. In the UK, the call for this probe, and the continued pressure on the Conservative Party to prove it is not “Islamophobic,” is likely to be what is behind the total collapse of the Johnson government’s resolve to stop illegal migration, and its new, aggressive efforts to bring more Muslim migrants into the country.
“More than 100 UK mosques demand watchdog probe Conservative Party for Islamophobia,” by Nadda Osman, Middle East Eye, May 23, 2020:
More than 100 mosques in the UK as well as a number of Islamic organisations have signed a letter criticising the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) for failing to carry out its role and investigate allegations of Islamophobia within the Conservative Party.
The letter calls for the EHRC to review its position and demands an investigation into the allegations of Islamophobia within the Conservative Party, while highlighting numerous cases of Conservative politicians expressing Islamophobic views.
The letter also charges that the EHRC, an independent body responsible for the enforcement of equality laws in England, has failed to carry out its responsibilities….
Some of the mosques that signed the letter include Finsbury Park Mosque, Glasgow Park Mosque and Waltham Forest Council of mosques.
The letter says the allegations against the Conservative Party are “extremely serious”, stressing that the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) submitted 300 allegations of Islamophobia by Conservative Party members in March, and has repeatedly renewed calls for the commission to examine Islamophobia within the Conservative Party….
“The Islamophobia allegations are in the backdrop of 47% of all religious hate crime in 2018/19 being targeted against Muslims,” the letter states.
Muslim campaigners also delivered a formal request to the UK watchdog last December, requesting an investigation into Islamophobia within the Conservative Party.
Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND), an organisation that promotes Muslim involvement in politics and society, has criticised a lack of action regarding anti-Muslim attitudes in the party, especially as a recent poll indicated that 62 percent of Conservative voters think that Islam “threatens the British way of life”.
Last year, the Conservative Party rejected a cross-party definition of Islamophobia backed by the MCB, arguing that it would stifle freedom of expression and impede counter-terrorism efforts.
Other British political parties, including Labour and the Scottish National Party, have adopted the cross-party definition, which says that Islamophobia is “rooted in racism and targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness”.
Eva says
‘islamaphobia’ doesn’t exist. It’s not phobic to be wary of and biased against something that poses a blatant and absolute danger to all of us. Try islamafauxbia instead.
It’s the absolute height of imbecility for anyone to ignore these dangers, as well as negligent, and criminally treasonous on the part of those who are supposed to protect this country and it’s citizens, not sell us out to save their own worthless skins and bank accounts.
They should be prosecuted and punished with extreme prejudice, along with the murderers, terrorists and rapists they import and enable.

Islam is a fascism and the only phobes related to this fascism are the Low IQ idiots who keep defending it, we call them; Reality-ophobes.
M S Yadav says
A very dangerous situation created by the Muslims crowing Islamphobia when they are restricted to carry out their sinister agenda to spread their practices and convert . Entire world should see this danger and come together to thwart all evil agenda of the staunch Muslims which they want to carry out hiding behind Islamphobia .
Wellington says
BoJo better and should act with balls. If he caves to this vacuous and parasitic charge of “Islamophobia,” then he is just another David Cameron or Theresa May.
Meanwhile, in Muslim nations, non-Muslims have no equal status with Muslims. And yet Muslims continue to belly-ache about prejudice against them in the West. What hypocrisy. What parasitism. What dishonesty. What malevolence. Thanks again, Muslims, for NOTHING.
My God, it is so clear that Islam is utterly not worthy of respect. The wonder of it all anymore is that any non-Muslim thinks it is. And even those who have a financial stake “cooperating” with the Islamic world should realize, must realize, that there is something more important than mere profits.
Yes, this is an idealistic statement but just because something is idealistic does not mean it is not true. Proceed from such a starting point. The very survival of the West most likely depends upon it.

Let’s break it down. Islam – totalitarian theocracy that controls the indiv 24/7/365 from cradle to grave. Phobia- an unnatural fear of something. No such thing as Islamophobia. It is extremely natural to be afraid of Islam. Islam should not be allowed into any western country. It is a death cult where the only way to get to heaven is to kill for Allah.

Because the media and all the authorities refuse to tell them the truth. Anyone who speaks the truth is politically incorrect and islamophobic.

A better idea would be a watchdog probe into the 100 mosques to investigate jihadi radicalization.

More Muslims trying to dismantle the party that has at least shown occasional vague efforts at protecting their own people from Jihad and Shari’ah. Can’t have that…
In reality, all of these Mosques should be investigated–I wonder how many of them are openly “extremist”? Quite a few, I’d bet.

The conservative party should redefine the term. There is no reason to accept the definition that has commonly been used. In fact,”Islamophobia: simply means Islam is afraid of the truth. Islam is afraid that Muslims will leave the faith. Islam is truth phobic. It cannot stand up to criticism. Islam is full of phobias. They are afraid women will remove their chains and demand their rights. They are afraid of being called terrorists. They are afraid of others and blame them for their own faults. Islam is phobic. The true Islamophobes are Muslims themselves.
Jack Holan says
Once again the infamous accusation of Islamophobia to deflect any discussion that might bring forth social, religious and other issues that present real life problems and friction on the Street. The term Islamophobia invented by the Muslim Brotherhood as a strategy to stifle Free Speech within Democracies. Then we have the OIC, 57 Islamic Nations (less than Free would be an understatement) calling upon the UN to implement their version and protection of Islamophobia UN Rule 16/18. I just read it again to refresh my memory and what stuck out is it is a blue print for the Government to eliminate personal freedom and become a thought patrol for the good of society. Also what sticks out is how one sided it is in implementation. The 57 nations that presented UN Rule 16/18 are either Theocratic or Despotic or both. Free Speech does not exist in these countries. Freedom of Religion exist only as it conforms to the Quran if its allowed to exist at all. Yet under this guise this Rule was presented to the World Body and passed. Here’s what is up UN Rule 16/18 5f calls for Governments to Criminalize incitement to immanent violence based on Religion or belief. Why isn’t that enforced when on Al Quds day there are cries from the Muslim Crowd to “Kill the Jews” or “Remember Khaybar” or when the Imam reads to the ummah that Jews should be killed (documented on video 3x in Toronto. Why aren’t the laws in force to day used to arrest the Muslims who utter them to incite. I would propose that the concept of Equal Application of the Law no longer exists in the UK.
Clifford Fodor says
“vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified.”
Unless the innocent Muslims picks up and knife and stabs you in the back while you’re riding on the bus. Or runs you over in a truck while you are walking on the sidewalk or riding your bicycle. Or if they hear the call over the loudspeaker from their local mosque to rise up and do away with the Jews.
jayell says
I believe that a ‘devout’ muslim might claim that Unbelievers are never ‘innocent’ because they have committed the crime of rejecting Allah and his Prophet. It might be more accurate to say that a self-proclaimed muslim cannot ipso facto be ‘innocent’ since they would have declared their alliegance to an ideology that actively promotes criminality and are therefore in law accomplices to crime.
gravenimage says
Robert Spencer has *never* condoned Jihad terror.
jayell says
So what are the attributes of ‘muslimness’ (that’s another nice new word!) that we shouldn’t be allowed to stifle? Lying (they specify at least 6 ways of doing that)? Cheating? Stealing (the Great Prophet was good at that)? Murder (another speciality of the Great Prophet, actively condoned by their Good Book and practised to perfection his disciples)? Sexual exploitation (it’s also actually written into their rules)? Wilful and deliberate debasement of going girls? Institutionally sanctioned disrespect of those who do not accept Islam? And the list could go on.
This ‘muslimness’ is virtually identical to anything you can expect from any morally-unprincipled and corrupt totalitarian autocracy, further compounded by this ‘demand’ that any criticism should be investigated. And who do these Muslims think they are to issue ‘demands’ (a ‘demand’ is an enforceable request issued by someone in authority)? The Government and its agencies issue ‘demands’. Courts of Law issue ‘demands’. The EU had the right to issue ‘demands’ in the UK (not anymire!). And the only other time an imported foreign entity would have presumed the right to ‘demand’ an investigation into any kind of criticism or dissent from UK citizens would have been from Nazi invaders had they succeeded in 1940. Perhaps this is a sign that Allah’s original Nazis believe they have achieved in 2020 what Hitler’s branch of the movement failed to do 80 years ago.
PS – I notice that the MPs who cobbled together the ‘offical’ definition of ‘islamophobia’ managed to drag Race into it, when everyone else thinks that people are just critcising an ideology. That’s interesting, since evidence suggests that Islam itself was originally founded on Arab racism.

Not wanting Islam in your country has nothing to do with Racism. Would you think it was Racist to expell Nazism from your country? Same principal.
Bob Finnerty says
Islam is not compatible with western values and culture.
One certain way to express that is to demand a Royal Commission into the comparability of Islam to western culture. Such an investigation can only come up with one truth and such is the road that an Australian Politician is asking for here in Australia.

Every other party, liberals, greens, labour have adopted the cross party definition. Why? Is this democracy?

Islam always cooking something up——–To undermine our determination to be rid of Islam!
Rufluc says
You can just imagine the sort of conversation that took place among the mullahs and their cohorts can’t you?…….
“So let me get this right…… If a body of people wish to promote and further their supremacist cause (us Muslims), that is clearly detrimental and destructive to others (infidels), and they rightly come up against opposition that under normal circumstances would shut them down, how would we best overcome this opposition?”
“Yes, of course, we just invent a name that has the same degree of stopping power as words like ‘racist’, ‘bigot’ or ‘nazi’!”
“Now because the real and proven threat IS Islam, let’s use this word by sticking the word ‘phobia’ on the end shall we?”
“Er, that would be a good idea except ‘phobia’ means a ‘rational’ fear of something. And there’s nothing more rational than fearing Islam is there?”.
” Er true, but hey, who cares, it’s a nice intimidating sounding word that ‘we’ (Muslims) can pin on anyone who recognises the true and real threat we pose to them and the rest of the West, and so we can instantly stop any kind of debate on the subject or any justified objection to our evil intentions!!”
“Brilliant!! But who in the West would be idiotic and gullible enough to swallow this crap?”
“That’s an easy one master…. the liberal lunatic left of course!”.
“Great, let’s do it!”……. “Consider it done master!”
“Good, you will be rewarded well with 72 virgins and assured martyrdom!”.
“Whoopee master, I’ll go and put some aftershave on!”.

Yet another way to undermine our society. The face masks must be going down well with Muslims, it means that most people are rehearsing for when Sharia is imposed! This nonsense has been instigated because the Labour party was accused (and rightly so) of anti-semitism. Infuriatingly tit for tat politics invented by the lefty MSM lunatics who are terrified of Islam and scared of attacks by Muslims. End of!!!

I DEMAND Justine Trudeau step down, I am ENRAGED he is still allowing international flights to arrive daily in Canada. I am really, really, really ENRAGED he has invited people to just walk over the border. I am ENRAGED he allowed a Muslim MP to introduce M-103. I DEMAND he step down, he is not a patriot. I DEMAND he stop lying to the Canadian people. I DEMAND he tell the Muslim Brotherhood hoods to get out of Canada. I DEMAND he tell them to stop their blood curdling wailing over the loud speakers at the places they meet to plan jihad. I DEMAND Justine tell the barbarians (oops he has said we may not use that word) to assimilate or vacate. I DEMAND HE STOP ENRAGING CANADIANS, and stop wearing his Islamic socks.

UK: More than 100 mosques demand watchdog probe Conservative Party for “Islamophobia”
Oh, yea? well I gotta headline of my own,
“RELATIVES OF ALL THOSE MURDERED OR RAPED BY MUSLIMS DEMAND AN INQUIRY INTO MOSQUES AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON THOSE CRIMES AND THE DESTRUCTION OF BRITAIN’S CIVILIZATION FOR ISLAM!”
But the problem is, we don’t get headlines like that because Britain is whipped, finished, defeated, beaten, and humiliated for islam. Their young men and women are too afraid to be like Tommy Robinson or Anne Waters because they don’t want their tyrannical government ruining them with prison and unjust “investigations” into their lives. Britain has about 6 brave residents that care about raped kids and the loss of freedom for islam’s supremacist culture, a culture whose main claim to fame is its human rights abuses and retarded religion that drags the world into the gutter of human development.
It’s amazing that muslims are never under any pressure by the left to deal with any of their own life-destroying flaws, ya know, like mass rape and terror like nobody else, or the worldwide abuse and oppression of women and kids, or the universal hatred they have for Jews, gays, and free speech, to the point of murder. The West has become weak for freedom and I feel disgusted about it. If they’re going to talk about the “300 allegations of islamophobia” then they better take some time to discuss the supremacist teachings of islam and the crimes they inspire, too. Otherwise don’t bother, it’ll be the same lying, shilling, grovelling, response we see for islam on the news and internet every damn day.
Allah was a demon, muhammad was an illiterate scumbag, and those who worship them are trapped in moral retardation and spiritual confusion. Believe it.

Everyone has the right to their thoughts and feelings about anything including ISLAM and along with that right comes the right to talk and write about it. The CHRISTIANS of the world have put up with threats and negative comments from the muslim world for hundreds of years, And threatening someones life is illegal, but I don’t see these islamic leaders that tell their followers to kill non-muslims being prosecuted for that. Islamics if you don’t like bad press clean up your act.

‘Islamophobia’ is a dismissive slander used so that you don’t have to take a critic’s valid arguments seriously.
Muslims claim that all criticism of Islam is Islamophobic, rather than intelligently address the points of the critique.
Linde Barrera says
I am Islamophobic and proud of it. I think Islam is the religion of Satan the devil. But I have
a civil relationship with my Muslim neighbors here in Brooklyn, NY. They were celebrating
a Muslim holiday a few days ago, and brought a plate of delicious food to my door, which was very nice of them.
But I would never go to their mosque or masjid. And I have always given them a solid answer when they made the claim that God cannot make Himself into a human being. My reply was: “Water is 1 substance with 3 states of matter: solid ice, steam gas, and liquid, yet each of them is always water. Furthermore, God is infinite, unlimited and mysterious. He can do whatever He wants. Sometimes we humans cannot understand God’s ways but we can accept His ways for our betterment.”
Their response was silence. And to me, silence means consent!
Eva says
With the best will in the world, if you are accepting their food, listening to and engaging with their arguments, etc, you cannot call yourself ‘islamophobic’, especially as it is a state of mind that simply doesn’t exist.
It’s should be more properly be called ‘islamafauxbia’, as it is in no way a phobia to to be biased against an ideology that wants to either slaughter you, or beat you into utter submission.
R Russell says
Since the SNP are introducing a new law which makes it impossible to tell the truth about Islam, for it might offend a Muslim, we must remember that the SNP and ALL of the political parties in Scotland accepted the Definition of Islamophobia which the UK government would not sign for it would make it impossible for them to tackle terrorism.
It is therefore no surprise that the Glasgow Central Mosque was one of the mosques which demanded this probe.
This is the mosque where the Scottish Justice Minister Humza Yousaf worships.
