conservative party accused of 'fundamental' failure" over islamaphobia

[Road Warrior]

I wonder,is islamaphobia in the conservative party the same as anti semitism in the labour party?,what exactly is islamophobia?.

The Jews aren't the ones blowing themselves up on buses and murdering citizens in the streets.

Any "phobia" is an irrational fear. Note the term "irrational". It's used by those who support the cause they are declaring a "phobia". It's not a scientific nor accurate phrase. It's a political phrase.

Catholics are a minority in England but bashing the Vatican (which many Italians do too) is not considered Catholicophobia

That's because it is called anti-Catholicism

Agreed but the same illogical opinions of bias or the same logical opinions of bias, apply.

Many old farts like myself can remember the controversy in JFK's election because of his ties to the Irish mob and Catholicism. Americans had traditionally been anti-British and, therefore, anti-Anglican Church (an offshoot of Catholicism) and Catholicism itself since, like the English and their King, Catholics put the Pope first and secular leaders second.

Ever take into account the possibility of postjudice?

All men are predisposed to rape. I am just saying this out of my postjudice views of men and them being socialized as men in the context of rape culture.

This is possibly thick with irony, or like, something
but no meaning is coming through.

I have a reflexive fear of men, but rationally I do not
at all believe what you said.

So...?

If some can believe that all Muslims are predispose to terrorism because of something that happened on 9/11 then it make just as much sense to believe all men are predisposed to commit rape after a whole history of raping men, women and children.

Are you saying that the OED is not real?

Islamophobia : dislike of or prejudice against Islam or Muslims, especially as a political force.

Yes it does madame,it's a broad brush though.

 

[England my lionheart]

All words are made up

Yes,made up to try to stop any criticism of Islam or it's followers.

Ive seen Islamaphobia. It exists. However, the problem comes from when the twitter mob demands all criticism be silenced as islamaphic. But rest assured, there are plenty out there who believe some truly whacko thkngs about Muslims and hate them just for being.

I would hazard a guess that you've seen anti-Muslim prejudice? If so, so have I.

But "Islamophobia" is a term designed by Muslims in an attempt to stifle legitimate criticism of the core ideas in Islam.

Ok, that has nothing to do with me; try someone else for
your idiot list.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Both are actually anti-Semitism

Not all Muslims are Semitic. In fact the majority may not be.

It is a Semitic religion

 

[Subduction Zone]

It is a Semitic religion

It is? I did not know that a religion could have a race.rather

Edit: And by that standard Christianity is a Semitic religion too.

I guess you are right. But it's roots and traditions are in Arab culture

 

[Cooky]

Sure it does. It's the same thing as prejudice against Jews/Judaism. Prejudice is prejudice.

Uh, then it would be called "anti-Muslim" not "Islamophobia". It's the Koran and the hadiths people don't like -the religion itself.

 

[Cooky]

Has anyone ever heard of Jewphobia? No. Because people actually hate the Jews, not so much Judaism.

While I agree, let's be frank; both sides seek to squelch the free speech of others. One side slings "Islamophobes" and the other side slings "Socialists". It's politics, not truth.
