“Councils across the UK are starting to adopt an agreed list of examples of Islamophobia.”
It was only a matter of time before the will of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation was embedded in the laws of Western nations in order to subvert Western freedoms. Even the previous sentence would be deemed “Islamophobic” according to the hit list circulating among councils in Britain, which is ultimately designed to shut down criticism of Islam by branding it “Islamophobic.”
The list of examples of “Islamophobia” does contain some things that must never tolerated in Western societies:
Calling for, aiding, instigating or justifying the killing or harming of Muslims in the name of a racist/fascist ideology, or an extremist view of religion.
Such actions are criminal, and it is already against the law in the UK and other free societies to call for violence against other human beings. No one in the West needs “anti-Islamophobia” (i.e., Sharia) tenets to prohibit what is already against Western laws.
But take a look at other criteria for “Islamophobia,” put forth by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG):
Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Muslims as such, or of Muslims as a collective group, such as, especially but not exclusively, conspiracies about Muslim entryism in politics, government or other societal institutions; the myth of Muslim identity having a unique propensity for terrorism and claims of a demographic ‘threat’ posed by Muslims or of a ‘Muslim takeover’.
No one has made up conspiracies about Muslims. The highest Islamic authorities in the world and many Muslim leaders routinely articulate themselves that the world is divided in two, and that the House of War (dar al-harb) that must be subjugated under the House of Islam (dar al-Islam). The Muslim Brotherhood Plan for North America also states:
The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.
Another example of Islamophobia provided by the All-Party Parliamentary Group:
Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.
Sharia is divine law to Muslims, and therefore is an “expression of Muslimness.” Thus any criticism of it will be deemed “Islamophobic.”
Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated of Muslims who leave Islam (apostates): “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them.” Al-Qaradawi also famously said in reference to the death penalty for apostasy: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.” is that not an “expression of Muslimness”? So now criticism of his words will be considered to be “rooted in racism.”
An official guidebook published in Canada by the Toronto District School Board also condemned “Islamophobia” and defined the term to include “dislike directed…towards Islamic politics or culture.” This guidebook was prepared with the support of the National Council of Canadian Muslims (CAIR-CAN). A followup National Post article rightly stated:
Banning or even discouraging any “dislike” of “Islamic politics” would make it nearly impossible to combat the virulent Jew-hatred that we have seen emanating from some Muslim institutions in Canada.
It does not take much acumen to recognize the wrongheadedness and malignant intentions of those who are working to impose “Islamophobia” restrictions upon free societies. So far, only “three local authorities have adopted APPG definition of Islamophobia,” but that’s three too many. The goal of all this is to subvert Western democracies under the Sharia. The West is rapidly moving toward the implementation of Sharia.
“COUNCILS across the UK are starting to adopt an agreed list of examples of Islamophobia,” Lancashire Telegraph, January 30, 2019:
COUNCILS across the UK are starting to adopt an agreed list of examples of Islamophobia.
However, so far, just three local authorities have adopted the APPG (All-Party Parliamentary Group) definition of Islamophobia. No councils in Lancashire have adopted the definition as yet.
Acts of Islamophobia from the list include accusing Muslim citizens of being more loyal to their countries of origin than to Britain, as well as accusing Muslims as a group of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Muslim person.
Oxford City council has this week become the latest in the UK to officially recognise the APPG definition which states:
“Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.”
The two other councils to adopt the definition are in London.
The list below states examples of Islamophobia that the councils now deem as unacceptable:
• Calling for, aiding, instigating or justifying the killing or harming of Muslims in the name of a racist/fascist ideology, or an extremist view of religion.
• Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Muslims as such, or of Muslims as a collective group, such as, especially but not exclusively, conspiracies about Muslim entryism in politics, government or other societal institutions; the myth of Muslim identity having a unique propensity for terrorism and claims of a demographic ‘threat’ posed by Muslims or of a ‘Muslim takeover’.
• Accusing Muslims as a group of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Muslim person or group of Muslim individuals, or even for acts committed by non-Muslims.
• Accusing Muslims as a group, or Muslim majority states, of inventing or exaggerating Islamophobia, ethnic cleansing or genocide perpetrated against Muslims.
• Accusing Muslim citizens of being more loyal to the ‘Ummah’ (transnational Muslim community) or to their countries of origin, or to the alleged priorities of Muslims worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.
• Denying Muslim populations, the right to self-determination e.g., by claiming that the existence of an independent Palestine or Kashmir is a terrorist endeavour……
