I'm honestly not sure how you reached that conclusion considering I specifically said "You've also given us no reason to just accept reasonable concerns and fears of Islam & Islamism being lumped in with attitudes & instances rooted in xenophobia and actual racism."
Quite obviously I believe...
You've not given us any reason to think it isn't flawed beyond your repeated assertion that it is not. You've also given us no reason to just accept reasonable concerns and fears of Islam & Islamism being lumped in with attitudes & instances rooted in xenophobia and actual racism.
Unfortunately that problem is only going to get a lot worse now that people like the All-Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims have agreed such a flawed definition.
Going by their definition standing up against Islamic homophobia is racist because said homophobia is founded in Islamic...
You're a good bit older than primary school age, I'm guessing. So obviously these lessons wouldn't apply to you. Something to consider is that parents in conservative religious households will be making efforts to ensure their kids grow up thinking homosexuality is sinful/unnatural/not deserving...
Care to explain the discrepancy between your posts? 'Islamophobia' "in no way implies irrationality" in your first post but just over an hour later "its an irrational fear, so is fear of Islam".
Nice attempt at moving the goalposts. I was taking issue with you baselessly accusing @Altfish of supporting communism even though he's a centrist. Focus on the issue at hand instead of trying to dishonestly evade all the time, please.
Sounds like a chronic case of double standards from the 'free speech advocates' on the far-right. They're fine for free speech meaning they can say whatever they want. But the moment that polarised rhetoric is turned on them they run crying for their comfort blankets and safe spaces.
For the...
Here's the thing though. Your list doesn't invalidate mine. You've not provided an argument for why rational concerns should be categorised under a word that literally means 'irrational fear of Islam' beyond "that's the definition" which is really just circular reasoning.
I have no dispute with...
Not for LGBTs who face erasure and homophobic intolerance in England from Muslims who don't their kids to know LGBTs exist. Not for ex-Muslims who often face ostracism from their family & friends and the community they were raised in, sometimes even threats to their safety & even their life, for...
I disagree. It lumps together rational positions of dislike for Islam with reasons that are couched in xenophobia as well as ones where 'dislike of Islam' is dog-whistling for being ****ty to Muslims (and those perceived to be Muslims).
I can give you a number of reasons for disliking the...
Preferably a definition that doesn't lump all reasons for disliking a religion or a political force together as irrational? Perhaps because not all reasons for disliking Islam & Islamism are irrational?
These protests were started and are organised mostly by Muslims. They started because a Muslim mother withdrew her child from Parkfield Primary School in protest over the fact she's learning that gay people exist - but her mother and other Muslims have been given information by malicious...
