You not looked up the meaning like I asked you to there 3 definition has.I. posted and reply to I am aware of the definition you speak of, in 1997 the Labour party (Who else) invented the word 'islamophobia'. However, I maintain it is a completely made up word, it's a nonsense word designed to appease Muslims. Your belive is Wrong has it often is on this Subject. The first recorded use of the term in English, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, was in 1923 in an article in The Journal of Theological Studies. The term entered into common usage with the publication of the Runnymede Trust's report in 1997. en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki Islamophobia - Wikipedia |

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word means "Intense dislike or fear of Islam, esp. as a political force; hostility or prejudice towards Muslims". It is attested in English as early as 1923 to quote the French word islamophobie, found in a thesis published by Alain Quellien in 1910 to describe "a prejudice against Islam that is widespread among the peoples of Western and Christian civilization". The expression did not immediately turn into the vocabulary of the English-speaking world though, which preferred the expression "feelings inimical to Islam", until its re-appearance in an article by Georges Chahati Anawati in 1976. The term did not exist in the Muslim world, and was later translated in the 1990s as ruhāb al-islām (رُهاب الإسلام) in Arabic, literally "phobia of Islam". In 1997 the left wing Runnymede Trust established the Commission on British Muslims and Islamophobia, which was endorsed by the Labour government.

“Irrational” = not logical or reasonable. 1) Islam is a religion/belief/ideology and is, of itself, therefore neither logical nor reasonable. 2) A phobia is “an excessive and irrational fear” Therefore questioning said irrational religion/belief/ideology is no more “Irrational” than holding said religion/belief/ideology in the first place. There is therefore no such thing as “Islamophobia” and anyone asserting otherwise is therefore either ignorant or being deliberately disingenuous. The trouble is that we're not dealing with logical, reasonable or rational people on here. |

Is there any poster who can explain what the bigot Lee Anderson meant when he stated that "Sadiq Khan is controlled by Islamists" ?
Or ... where he stated that "He (Sadiq Khan) has handed London over to his mates" ?
What did Anderson mean, and what evidence is there to back these statements ?
Posters keep defending Anderson, some posters go further and state that he is correct, so come on, lets have the explanations for Andersons accusations.

It's the job of an MP to represent the views of his constituents. According to the news Lee Anderson's constituents agree with what he said. And what he said is plainly the truth as is obvious every Saturday when muslims take to the street and scream for jihad, intifada and the elimination of the jews - and Khan does nothing. So khan's plainly in agreement with what they say. Khan also goes to a hard-line Sunni mosque and regards a white family as "Not representative of London". This sounds very much like an islamist to me. So Sunak is sacking Anderson for telling the truth about khan and representing his constituents' views. I think Sunak needs to be sacked. I have watched several news programmes tonight, SKY and Channel 4, and its clear that SOME constituents agree with Anderson, but many other DO NOT agree with him. What he stated is plainly not the truth, there is no evidence, anywhere, that Sadiq Khan is "controlled by Islamists" or that he has "handed London over to his mates". Muslims and non-Muslims ARE ALLOWED to protest in London, as is anyone or everyone, providing they are peacefull protests. For the very small number of incidents where people with extremist views voice Antisemitic slogans, or carry racist placards, or promote terrorism, they should be arrested by the police, nothing to do with Sadiq Khan.
Every week extremist views and antisemitic slogans are shouted out by this mob and the police do nothing. With regards to Khan - he is the police and crime commissioner for the city, if it's nothing to do with him why is he getting paid £150k a year? |
