    Islamophobia was raised in PMQ’s today, the presumably Moslem MP for Bradford was allowed to ramble on about Islamophobia including a suggestion of (Islamic) blasphemy laws in a question:

    Imran Hussain
    (Bradford East) (Ind)
    Q8. [901496]”As we enter the last week of Islamophobia Awareness Month, the Prime Minister will know that this year has been extraordinarily difficult for British Muslims on the receiving end of society’s most deplorable attitudes. They have been considered easy prey for the far right, and scapegoated by politicians endorsing institutional Islamophobia. The reality is that the emboldening and normalisation of Islamophobia, as highlighted in a number of reports, led to the race riots that we saw on the streets of Britain this summer, when mosques and those who are visibly Muslim were subjected to despicable attacks, with many left fearing for their lives. Will the Prime Minister condemn those in public office and positions of power who actively promote Islamophobia? Will he commit to adopting a definition today, and will he further outline what concrete steps the Government are taking to rip out Islamophobia at its roots, including in this place?”

    Smarmer played along with Islamophobia theme but didn’t rule out new blasphemy laws.

    The Prime Minister :

    “My hon. Friend is right to raise Islamophobia. There has been a concerning rise in Islamophobia and antisemitism over recent months, and we are committed to tackling all forms of hatred. We will work with others on an ongoing basis to make sure that we do.”

    We should remember that he stood shoulder to shoulder with Jeremy Corbyn who ran an anti-Semitic Labour Party.

    This was followed by another Islamophobia question:
    Tahir Ali
    (Birmingham Hall Green and Moseley) (Lab)
    Q12. November marks Islamophobia Awareness Month. Last year, the United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a resolution condemning the desecration of religious texts, including the Koran, despite opposition from the previous Government. Acts of such mindless desecration only serve to fuel division and hatred within our society. Will the Prime Minister commit to introducing measures to prohibit the desecration of all religious texts and the prophets of the Abrahamic religions? (901500)

    What I have to question is why Islam is put on this pedestal in a British Parliament.

    LOL….BBC can’t call them terrorists or they’d have to call Hamas and Hezbollah ‘terrorists’……The PKK…..BBC headline….

    ‘Protest arrests after seven detained over links to Kurdish rebel group PKK’

    Despite admitting….

    ‘The PKK is banned as a terrorist organisation in Turkey, the US and UK’
