“If the government chooses to incorporate this definition into law, then discussing the history of the Indian subcontinent, and the persecution of religious minorities across the world today, in countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria will be absurdly equated to ‘racism.'”
Indeed. This initiative is already well underway. I’m Exhibit A.
“Boost for British Sikh group’s campaign against ‘flawed’ definition of Islamophobia,” by Aditi Khanna, PTI, September 29, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
London, Sep 29 (PTI) A British Sikh organisation campaigning against a “flawed” definition of Islamophobia adopted by the Labour Party a few years ago being made legal has received a boost as the government admitted the proposal would not be in line with the UK’s Equality Act.
The Network of Sikh Organisations (NSO) had written to Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and the government Faith Minister Lord Wajid Khan earlier this month to caution that the proposed definition would jeopardise even a factual discussion of the history of the Indian subcontinent.
Back in 2018, the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Muslims had defined Islamophobia as a “type of racism” that targets expressions of Muslimness.
“As you have mentioned, the definition proposed by the APPG is not in line with the Equality Act 2010, which defines race in terms of colour, nationality and national or ethnic origins,” reads Lords Khan’s reply to the NSO released this week….
In its letter, the NSO had warned that the adoption of a “contested definition” into law would have serious implications on “free speech, not least the ability to discuss historical truths”. It also feared that “seminal moments” in Sikh history would be “censored” and considered “racist”.
“If the government chooses to incorporate this definition into law, then discussing the history of the Indian subcontinent, and the persecution of religious minorities across the world today, in countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria will be absurdly equated to ‘racism’. This would be counterproductive, cause disquiet and perversely persecute truth tellers,” the NSO noted….
“The recent violent disorder exposed deep weaknesses in our society and, as you have mentioned, much of the violence was rooted in anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant hatred… The government will never tolerate those who seek to sow divisions and wreak intimidation across our communities, and we remain absolutely committed to protecting the right of individuals to freely practice their religion at their chosen place of worship,” Lord Khan added in his reply to NSO.

But it’s the traitor UK government who ‘sow division’ by importing these animals.
.
ALSO – A REQUEST.
People may or may not remember that last week, a wifi hack at UK train stations took place.
This caused people to receive a message pointing out some simple facts of life apparently.
Of course the authorities took it as being ‘islamaphobic’ as usual given it featured the most protected group in Western countries.
Has anyone seen any news agency list what exactly was said in the message?
Does anyone have a link or a transcript of exactly what was said?
Thanks.

I believe it was Esmerelda (spelling ?) who provided the text of what was said and a link to it. On the thread about that incident at the train station.
I may have the poster’s name wrong, but a link was provided on that thread.

The real issue….the Truth of it all…is not anti-mozlum, anti-immigrant….The real deal is the pro-terror, pro islam, pro rape and pro murder and then letting the criminals off because they can’t think straight due to mental illness, or different culture, and a refusal to abide by the laws of the land, as somehow excusing them from that requirement.

This is indeed news. Nowadays, normally Sikh organizations like to gang up w/ muslims against Hindus – which is why I no longer admire them the way I once did. Maybe these British Sikhs could teach their Canadian (and Indian) cousins across the pond a thing or two about getting into bed w/ jihadists

Again demonstrating that while Islam is a very great problem for mankind, the even bigger problem is the exculpation of Islam by tons of clueless, compromised and even bribed dhimmis.
Islam is the enemy to so many. Clearly. But you will not contain or defeat an enemy if you can’t even identify the enemy as the enemy.
And here I will reference the Vietnam War for a specific reason, to wit, in that war fought by America (and a few courageous allies) we “merely” bungled the way the war was prosecuted but at least we correctly identified the enemy—Communism. Now with Islam we haven’t even correctly identified the enemy.
Oh yeah, mankind is in deep you know what and waiting in the wings to make things even worse is, yes, Cackling Kamala. Oh the humanity!
FYI says
islamophobia is a bogus concept So is “hate speech”
Hate speech
.Or as i call it “A contrary opinion”
