“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. But leftists on both sides of the Atlantic eagerly propagate this victimhood propaganda.
“Labour To Create New Codes Of Conduct And Training On Islamophobia And Anti-Black Racism,” by Alain Tolhurst, Politics Home, March 12, 2021:
Labour is planning to do more to tackle Islamophobia and anti-Black racism in the party with the creation of new codes of conduct and a training programme for members.
The party will also look to expand BAME representation with a new national committee and annual conference for its ethnic minority members.
The moves were agreed at yesterday’s National Executive Committee meeting as part of the culture change in Labour promised by Sir Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner when they took over its leadership.
PoliticsHome understands the codes of conduct will be developed in consultation with organisations like the Runnymede Trust to formalise standards of behaviour and create a more consistent approach to complaints.
The new training courses on Islamophobia and anti-Black racism will be developed for elected representatives and staff, in particular those who handle complaints.
It follows on from the work already underway on anti-Semitism in response to the inquiry by the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
A Labour spokesperson said: “Labour is committed to tackling Islamophobia and anti-Black racism in our party and wider society and we were proud to adopt the APPG definition in 2019, something the Conservatives continue to refuse to do….
Dude says
Training – by the enemy or by true Nonislamophobia experts, like Robert Spencer or Phil Haney?
GOLDMANN says
Why are they speaking MADE UP LANGUAGE!?????????? no such word as “lslamaphbia ? ??
very old white guy says
A phobia is a fear. Anyone who does not have a guarded fear of islam needs to do a review of the activities of the followers of isalm since islam started.
mortimer says
Labour is trying to win the Muslim vote by the manipulation of identity politics.
British philosopher Anthony Flew discussed the illogical errors in the slander term
‘Islamophobia’:
“I would never regard Islam with anything but HORROR and FEAR, because it is
fundamentally committed to CONQUERING THE WORLD for Islam… it is, I think, best
described in a Marxian way as the uniting and justifying ideology of Arab
IMPERIALISM.”
– Philosopher Anthony Flew was renowned for his work on the philosophy of religion
“Islamophobia is a word created by fascists, used by cowards, to manipulate
morons.” — Christopher Hitchens (Western Atheist)
According to Anthony Flew and Christopher Hitchens the Labour Party of Britain are promoting ISLAMIC IMPERIALISM, COWARDIC and FASCISM.
Jim says
Well that is all to the good. However, there is a lot of Christophobia and Jewophobia in the world, much of it coming from the far left and even the mainstream left, not just right-wing extremists. And not to mention a competing religion that is constantly claiming victimhood on one hand, while its members in a few cases commit terrible crimes against Christians, Jews, Hindus, etc. So, maybe the labor unions and left organizations should teach something about that, even to members of the religion of peace in their ranks.
william carr says
JIM. the last leader Corbin lost his job mainly due to his antisemitism, but the present leadership knows where the big votes lie. Not with the Jews but with the Moose Limbs. The socialists are like the leopard they cannot change their spots
GOLDMANN says
“Jim”. No such words as “lslamahpbia”, “Christianaphobia”, jewaphobia” . ? It’s gibberish. ?????????
mortimer says
Ibraham Hooper, former leader of CAIR, stated that “Islam is not a race. It is an IDEOLOGY”.
When we criticize an ideology, that is called POLITICAL SCIENCE.
jca reid says
Pathetic. Labour have really lost the plot!! A phobia is an irrational fear. The concern of ALL critics of Islam is clear, concise, rational, logical & CORRECT!! What a waste of Space Labour are.
Aussie Infidel says
jca reid, As they say, it’s hardly a phobia when they really are trying to kill you!
PRCS says
Disagree, somewhat, jca.
Pathetic, yes, because the term Islamophobia does not mean what so many think it does.
Islam is the ideology. An animating ideology to be sure, but not an animate object..
Islamophobia: literally, and nonsensically, an irrational fear of the ideology.
Muslims believe, and comply–to varying degrees–with the ideology.
The Yezedis, for example, have a rational fear of Muslims.
As analogy: Judaism/Jews, Christianity/Christians, Hinduism/Hindus….
James Lincoln says
PRCS,
Technically, evil ideologies should not in and of themselves be feared.
It’s the ones who *follow* and *carry out* the evil ideologies who should be feared…
tim gallagher says
AS someone who doesn’t get why almost everybody has not yet woken up to Islam’s evil and barbaric nature and has not begun to tear into Islam, this fundamentally evil and violent ideology, I’d say Labour are 100% on the wrong track by trying to keep people going down this wrong path of not criticising Islam and continuing to give Islam a respect that it doesn’t deserve to have. What they call “Islamophobia”, that is criticism of Islam, which is exactly what the evil ideology deserves to cop all the time, is the correct attitude to have towards Islam. These idiots seem determined to keep as many people as possible slumbering on and not waking up to Islam’s vile nature. When will these pathetic fools finally wake up to the true nature of Islam? They are hopeless people, at least on the issue of Islam.
Aussie Infidel says
Tim, It seems ironic that Labour in Britain – many of whom are atheists – should support the Muslims (the Left’s favorite religion). But these useful idiots hope that by supporting the Muslims, they will receive enough votes to get into power and eventually defeat their old enemies, Christianity and capitalism, which they hope will usher in their dream of a socialist Utopia. An attempt at such a fools errand was the establishment in Paraguay of a colony by disgruntled Australian socialists in 1893.
https://www.news.com.au/travel/destinations/south-america/australias-bizarre-socialist-colony-failed-after-just-two-years/news-story/76ac000382c73aa371d01f82a09bb761
But what leftists don’t realize is that the Muslims will never allow such unIslamic activity within their Ummah. They should remember what happened when the Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Iran, and jailed the Communists who helped him gain power.
Hadrian says
We seem to be edging towards that here in NZ as well. Ever since Tarrant shot down Christchurch, every single Kiwi has gone on full self flagellation mode and still hasn’t stopped 2 years later. The degree of intolerable virtue signalling is rampant (teaching Islamo-feminism in prestigious universities), literally no one batted an eye when Jacinda invited a mullah with an anti-semitic record to read the Quran in NZ Parliament. And yet they wonder why conspiracy theories surrounding Taqqiya is rampant, of kafir civilisations being replaced by some Gaddafi type Islamo-socialism.
Although it looks like its something more than appeasing a vote bank, that may be the case in countries like India but NZ can afford to ignore them yet they don’t.
Raja says
Hadrain,
It is so sad that the elites of the West desperately want Islam and its deceptive war machine to be glorified. Never mind if Islam does thousands of mini September 11.(literally)
This is the :”in thing” and lies are worth “celebrating”. Why not celebrate cannibalism?
James Lincoln says
Aussie Infidel,
Thanks for the link regarding the Paraguay colony…
Aussie Infidel says
James, The New Australia colony in Paraguay is almost part of my DNA – one of my grandfather’s friends was involved, but returned disillusioned some years later. The socialist movement here in Oz escalated during the latter half of the 19th century, and led to the Shearers’ Strike in 1891. My father was a shearer, and lived in the Muttaburra and Aramac districts of Central Western Queensland until 1960. Although ‘The Strike’ as everyone called it, was over decades previously, it still influenced local politics to an enormous extent. The community was polarized between those who thought that the strikers were simply seeking a just wage, and those who thought they were a bunch of communist agitators seeking to destabilize the government. And even to this day there are a few deluded conspiracy theorists who claim that the New Australia colony was ‘sabotaged’ by capitalists seeking revenge against the unionists.
During my high school years, I worked in the shearing sheds, including Bowen Downs (which is mentioned in the article), with my Dad to pay my way through school. In those days there were no high schools nearby, and I had to travell 400 miles to boarding school in Rockhampton. Before I could work, I had to join the Union – which is why I became involved in Leftist politics at a young age. However, I eventually realised that the Left did not have all the answers to “Life, the universe and everything”.

But back to the main thread of this post – All Westerners should be calling out Islamophobia for what it truly is – a deliberate attempt by Muslims and their sympathizers to con non-Muslims into believing that Islam is a religion of peace instead of a religion of conquest and subjugation. Rumor has it that the IIIT was so impressed by the success of the LGBT lobby’s use of the term ‘homophobia’, that they adopted something similar.
James Lincoln says
Aussie Infidel,
Much thanks for your reply – and the added information…
Eleanor says
Thanks Aussie. I have tried to understand why the Lefties are in league with Islam, and you have provided the answer, and I think you are spot on with your summation.
PRCS says
Tim,
“What they call “Islamophobia”, that is criticism of Islam, which is exactly what the evil ideology deserves to cop all the time, is the correct attitude to have towards Islam.”
Islamophobia is an irrational fear of the ideology.
Both the ideology and its followers deserve criticism.
Those who’ve been negatively impacted by Muslims have a rational reason to fear them.
GOLDMANN says
“PRCS” . It’s a made up word .??. ?
PRCS says
Yes, it is.
A nonsensical word concocted to divert attention from the truth.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comments, Aussie Infidel, Hadrian, Raja and PRCS. Aussie Infidel, I’m sure you are right about this sucking up to the Muslims by Labour is a way of cynically gaining their votes in order to get political power. And the mostly atheistic Marxist left do loathe religion and especially Christianity, so they probably loathe islam (and see it as a load of superstitious rubbish) but they see the Muslims as allies for a while, because they both share the same hatred for our western way of life, especially for free enterprise. AS you say, it can only be a temporary alliance. My own policy is to ban Muslims from getting into any non-Muslim country and then there are no Muslim voters for any political party to suck up to. Keep this enemy out and avoid all the trouble Islam brings. I remember hearing about that utopian settlement by left wing Australians who went to Paraguay and failed so badly years ago, but I hadn’t thought about them for ages. Hadrian, New Zealand seems pretty hopeless in its surrendering to Islam, this vicious and evil ideology, since that man killed Muslims at the mosque. I agree with what you say there, Raja. Islam is so evil and, for it to somehow beccome the “in” thing is sickening. PRCS, you are right about “phobia” meaning an irrational fear. I must say that I use the term inaccurately as merely meaning hating Islam. I say that I am very much an Islamophobe, by which I mean, yep, I hate islam with a passion.. I loathe Islam, which is what I believe it deserves. Probably I should call myself an “Islamoloather” or “Islamohater” rather than an “Islamophobe”. I can find no redeeming feature of islam, just as I also find in Nazism, and that is why I loathe both those evil ideologies. I do occasionally meet seemingly pleasant Muslims, though I don’t know them well, but, to me,that is in spite of Islam’s malignant influence.
PRCS says
“Islamoloather” or “Islamohater”
I like it.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article:
“Labour is planning to do more to tackle Islamophobia and anti-Black racism”
Labour is very cleverly conflating two different things:
Islamophobia – a nonsense word used to shut down legitimate criticism of islam.
Anti-Black racism – to the extent that it actually exists in the West, a legitimate discussion topic.
Michael Copeland says
Labour are “proud to have adopted the APPG [All Party Parliamentary Group] definition”, This tendentious and unsatisfactory definition is:
ISLAMOPHOBIA IS ROOTED IN RACISM AND IS A TYPE OF RACISM THAT TARGETS EXPRESSIONS OF MUSLIMNESS OR PERCEIVED MUSLIMNESS.
http://journal.quilliaminternational.com/2018/11/30/why-the-appgs-definition-of-islamophobia-is-not-up-to-scratch/
Michael Copeland says
According to Linda Sarsour wearing a hijab alters your race, so this problem must be “a type of racism” after all.
PRCS says
“When I wasn’t wearing hijab I was just some ordinary white girl from New York City.”
gravenimage says
Yes–so ludicrous.
Hadrian says
Labour is committed to tackling Islamophobia and anti-Black racism in our party and wider society and we were proud to adopt the APPG definition in 2019, something the Conservatives continue to refuse to do….

This is epic social justice warrior cuckery to the letter. Refugees from 3rd world cesspits keep raping every kafir culture and the rest of us have to kiddy glove this problematic demographic?
PRCS says
“Islamophobia and anti-Black racism”
Intentionally conflating irrational fear of an ideology with racism.
serialthinker2003 says
lefties be like : My turn did not come, no Muslim killed me, so Islam is a peaceful religion
I hope the time comes when I see these idiot leftists being sold in the slave market of ISIS
serialthinker2003 says
These Muslims should wear the garment of Mentally ill so that we can distinguish between the sane and the insane

UK: Labour to provide training on ‘Islamophobia’
……………….
Is Labour going to prevent sane people from being scared of the horrors of Islam?
James Lincoln says
Yes, gravenimage.
They are going to teach that is *not okay* to be afraid of islam.
Naïve people will put themselves in danger…
gravenimage says
Yes–think about how nuts *this is*.
Infidel says
I’m waiting for the day when Labour becomes a muslim majority party, and purges all the non-muslim Leftists that don’t convert to islam. That’s the only thing left for it to do: it’s already lost the Jewish, HIndu and Sikh votes in the UK
GOLDMANN says
“Infidel,” don’t forget Christians as well. I will NEVER vote for them ever again ❗?
PRCS says
Though so many so foolishly still do.
Rob R (Brit stuck in Britainistan) says
What is the point?
Everybody in the UK has already been completely conditioned to do nothing but fawn over any and all Muslims anyway.
These kind of announcements are just about rubbing it in peoples’ faces.
That or they are the deranged declarations of people who can just never ever get enough white guilt, even when it’s the only thing left on the cultural menu.
GOLDMANN says
Hey fellow Brit !? Not me! .l no longer buy at paki lndian restaurants. I have woken up ! ??? And l have not voted Labour anymore.

Daily Telegraph

The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and “rub the Right’s nose in diversity”, according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.
Michael Copeland says
Hear a leading left-wing politician, the Sixties anarchist Daniel Cohn-Bendit:
“We… must strive to this end that as many foreigners as possible be brought to Germany. If they are in Germany, we must fight for their right to vote. Once we have achieved this, then we have the segment of voters we need to change this republic.”

If it is still up on You Tube then search for the Rivers Of Blood Speech by Enoch Powell as he told us clearly, in 1968, that this kind of crap will come down upon us, but we, and I include myself, didnt listen to him, as we, and I include myself, thought he was just an old racist fart, rather than the visionary he really was, but we didnt recognize him. I sincerely apologize to his Family. I was 20 years old, living in London, and rather ignorant of the World at large, now I am 72, been in about 50 different countries around the World and now live in SE Asia, though I was born in the UK.
Why should the British people change their way of life to suit people that came, by their own choice, to the UK, and expect, and in some cases DEMAND, that the British people change for those who came from other societies, religions, cultures and Races.
This new word, BAME, must have those very people laughing their heads off while they stand in the Dole Line.

Malcolm Jackson says
And the British Labour Party is so stupid that it cannot see why we working classes no longer vote Labour. Labour is tha Party of Islam, Labour does not represent the British Working Class.
John Forbes says
Not at all suprising though! CORBYN sides with the child rapists as does Naz Shah & Yvette Cooper among others.
Why be at all suprised because they rely on Muslim Voters. Whites are not the BOTTOM of the social classes! Ask the Rape victims in Rotherham!!
Anne Smith says
The Labour Party has been joined by many Muslims, most of whom hold jobs or influential positions within it and many Labour MPs are Muslim.
This is just the logical outcome.
It is on the way to becoming the Muslim Labour Party. The Anti Semitic rows over the last few years merely exposed its direction of travel.
