Then two days after that, UK Prime Minister Theresa May boasted of banning Pamela Geller and me from the country because of our “Islamophobia.” May, like Hizb ut-Tahrir, uses charges of “Islamophobia” as a weapon. Charges of “Islamophobia” are meant to intimidate people into fearing to oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression.
“Hard line groups are ‘weaponising’ Islamophobia, Government’s counter-extremism tsar warns,” by Camilla Turner, Telegraph, September 15, 2018:
Hard line groups are “weaponising” Islamophobia and “cynically” using human rights to promote their ideology, the Government’s new counter-extremism tsar has warned.
Sara Khan said that Islamist groups accuse their critics of being anti-Muslim, in an attempt to undermine “legitimate debate” about extremism.
She said that the “use and abuse” of the language of human rights is “perhaps the most concerning” tactic employed by fundamentalist groups.

Antisemitism is just hatred. And it is just wrong….
