The dangers of an “Islamophobia” ban

l of a sudden, you can’t fight sexual violence against women perpetrated by men.

That is what banning Islamophobia is going to ban, if you allow it. It will ban discussing these issues in the name of human rights and equality. If you question this and ask, ‘Do we really want this parallel society?’, you’ll be called Islamophobic.

These days, the Islamists are less and less secretive about their agenda. This can be seen recently in the blatant anti-Semitism in some Muslim communities. But if you bring this stuff up, and try to get politicians to discuss it, you’re again accused of Islamophobia. This is the question that we have to ask governments, particularly the leftist governments that are trying to outlaw Islamophobia. It is criticism of Islam that’s going to be banned. Journalists and newspapers will no longer be able to exercise their free-press rights to investigate crimes that are being committed.

Part of this is, no doubt, seen by many in the Labour Party as a logical extension of the old anti-racism policies that have been such a key and largely successful part of leftist politics in the past few decades. But by using the term "Islamophobia" instead of the clearer "anti-muslim prejudice" they're handing the Islamists just what they want: a blasphemy law, and a proscription on any criticism of the Islamist agenda.
