Islamophobia has been an ongoing concern in the west since 9/11, but a number of recent incidents in Britain have given rise to a new wave of hatred that experts say is finding a breeding ground online.

Part of the problem, researchers say, is that right-wing groups can post anti-Islamic comments online without fear of legal prosecution.

“If they were to say, ‘Black people are evil, Jamaicans are evil,’ they could be prosecuted,” says Fiyaz Mughal, founder of Islamophobia reporting web site TellMamaUK.org.

But because religious hatred isn't covered legally in the same way that racism is, Mughal says "the extreme right are frankly getting away with really toxic stuff.”

Probably because there is no such thing as Islamophobia in general. Granted there may be some people whom are generally have a paralyzing fear of all things Islamic. Me I don't, although I'm sure you would label me as Islamophobic. It's a nonsense word trotted out by idiots who also like to call people "racist" incorrectly when discussing this religion and they no longer hold a sensible discourse. So yes it's difficult to stop something that generally doesn't exist except in some narrow minded scrote.

Less of a phobia and more of an anger, especially at the chickenshit politicians that won't change failed immigration policies to put a stop to some of the nonsense.

Because it's the new phobia of our time. It used be the Irish, then the Italians, then the Jews, then the.....well you get the idea.

And it's a good thing that it isn't covered or 10% of Birmingham would be in prison.

It seems to me that he wants it all. He wants people to stop all the Islamophobia but, he doesn't want to acknowledge or take responsibility for the fact that there are people in his community just as extreme if not more so than the ones he's reviling.

Seems hypocritical to me.

It's a made up word from people that are inventing facts to make their theories seem correct. I don't hate muslems, I don't fear islamists. I think radical Islamism should be stopped be fore it infects all that is good. I think all peaceful, law abiding people have a inalienable right to live their lives. But to so many, I am an islamophobe because I dare to question their "logic"

Islamophobia :roll:

Anything you disagree with is now a "phobia" That means people have "Albertaphobia"- fear of having to get a JOB. :lol:

Or "Tarsandsaphobia" - the Tarsands are responsible for everything.

"Christianaphobia" Stephen Harper is going to force Jesus down your throat.

Wanna another fun quote?

Did you notice Fiyaz Mughal in the OP whining for not being able to prosecute people who might say bad things about Islam?

Well here's a fun fact. He did have a guy dragged into court for calling him "a mendacious grievance mongering taqiyya artist. (Taqiyya is a method of lying endorsed by Islam)

For what it's worth, he lost the case. The problem was he is a proven liar, and to make the charge stick he had to prove it wasn't true.

I don't recall the Irish or Italians or the Jews coming over to North America or Northern Europe with the Uber Alles attitude that we have been seeing as of late from a number of Islamic groups. That is the difference and where the concern from the rest of us comes from.

The act of censorship is a sure sign of a failure that's unable to stand up to criticism.

No one has forgotten when the Islamic nations try to get the UN to slide in a rule making it illegal to criticize Islam into one of their pointless treaties on human right.

The total and complete failure of the immigration policy of Sweden has required a law to make it illegal to question that policy.

In the UK if a visual minority does something wrong, it's illegal to point out that fact as it might engender hatred towards a minority.

The leftist authoritarians have been allowed far too much control over free expression and free thought. Their mad scramble to make it illegal to point out end result failure of their ideology is as sickening as it is pervasive.

It's funny that a stupid comic, nails the actions of Islam so squarely.

Looks like the UK is into phase two.

All three of those groups were accompanied by a crime wave. In the case of the Italians, some of them are still at it.

   



Thanos @ Sun Nov 02, 2014 6:45 am

The crime wave was a result of ghettoization. None of those three ethnic groups brought a murderous and psychotic totalitarian religion along with them when they immigrated.
