The BBC is blitzing us with ‘Islamophobia’ today in the wake of a Demos report on what it says is a wave of Islamophobia on Twitter.…but the Tweets were from across the world not just in the UK. And you have to ask what is Islamophobia in Demos’s and the BBC’s eyes? You may get an idea from this report today:
An interview by BBC reporter Catrin Nye on Islamophobia has been interrupted by Islamophobia.
Hmmm….that’s not ‘Islamophobic’ is it? It’s a statement that says ‘Paul’ doesn’t want Sharia law in the UK. A perfectly legitimate stance….Sharia law is an unpleasant, backward and oppressive, racist ideology that itself spreads hate and division….why would any right thinking person not raise issue with it?
If the BBC had been interviewing a Far Right person and someone had shouted ‘No Fascism’ here they would have been cheered to the rafters on Twitter and in the Guardian.
As for ‘Islamophobia’ on Twitter…even Demos admits this was in the wake of the Nice attack where a Muslim, in the name of Islam, killed 84 people…many of them children.
Demos and the BBC are unable to explain why this is a problem of any real and genuine note….a few thousand tweets from around the world that are, on Demos’ definition, ‘Islamophobic, in the wake of mass killings by Muslims who deliberately target Westerners asdn seek to undermine Western society hardly seems a surprise nor a threat to world peace…on the other hand a mass Islamic movement that is trying to impose islam upon everyone and is persecuting, killing and attacking Christians and anyone who criticises Islam around the world might just be considered a threat…if you don’t work for the BBC.
The BBC seems to think the problem is the people who are under attack by the Muslim supremacists…and note the supremacists are not just the terrorists but also those who use the media, the law and political blackmail to press for more Islam.
This campaign on Islamophobia is such a case…it is intended to make out that Muslims are under attack, under siege and this is intended to pressure politicians to silence critics of Islam and also to sideline the anti-terror policies of the government such as Prevent.
Look at the Twitter feed of the interviewee…how pleased she is to have the BBC front this campaign against ‘Islamophobia’….
Hypocrite and now Muslim political activist?
