Election Year or Fear!

[Trickytreesreds]

All ‘phobias’ are, as I understand…by definition, ‘irrational fears’, hence Islamophobia is an irrational fear of those who follow Islam…i.e. Muslims.

Am I Islamophobic? No…because I don’t have a fear - irrational or otherwise - of Muslims. Neither do I agree with the Muslim faith…or the Catholic Faith…or the Jewish faith.

I do, unfortunately, see parallels between Germany of the 1930’s and parts of Europe, including the UK, today but I also very much agree with the comments made by MA and GP earlier. Personally I want nothing to do with any religious faith, but I respect the rights of others to follow their beliefs providing they don’t wish to impose them on others. That is something which some militant Muslims may well be guilty of but they are not alone there.

yes, mainly true. But your definition includes irrational. (not based on reason)
Bombings/ stabbings/ murders/ threats/ intimidation/ attempts to influence politics is not irrational. They are very real and the tempo is rising.

Like I said, how bad must it be to be a Jew in this country at the moment? Jews out outnumbered 15:1 comapared to Islam followers. Anti semitic attacks in London risen by 1350% . Parallels with Germany? You have it right there.
Perhaps you are unaware, it was revealed in 2021, that 1 in 50 Muslim males in the UK, had come to the attention of the UK anti terror watchers? That's pretty damned scary, not an irrational phobia

The defence screams "Islamophobic" , when these facts are challenged.
All used in the same way as racist/ Nazi/ xenophobe/ bigot/ little Englander/ gammon are used, in attempts to shut you up, mainly by the left.

Personally I want nothing to do with any religious faith, but I respect the rights of others to follow their beliefs providing they don’t wish to impose them on others. That is something which some militant Muslims may well be guilty of but they are not alone there.


So, you don't agree with what's happening, schools being abused and its teachers/ politicians being harrassed, hounded and threatened/ Jews being intimidated and targetted/ mass rallies showing pure hate- all in the name of Islam? iT'S A START AT LEAST.

It's time it was made very plain, that this sort of behaviour is not tolerated and will be dealt with fully by the law. It isn't and folks are sick to death of watching hate demos out side schools and in capitals, Whilst the police stand there and do nothing, as an ISIS flag goes by waved by a masked man.

NB, France has just changed its laws, that foreign nationals sighting anti French hate and threats are deported inside 24 hours. Now that's not flapping with the ECHR.
