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:
BBC Islamophobia discussion interrupted by Islamophobia
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’….
#Islamophobia trending this morning – as BBC reports our research on its scale on social media
Where would we be without the BBC promoting the Islamist cause?
As for the interviewee and her brave battle against islamophobia? Not so long ago she herself was critical of Muslims who obeyed Sharia….and you have to ask why she is now a practising Muslim in a Hijab? Just what changed, who spoke to her, what persuaded her to become more devout? That would be the really interesting question instead of the BBC peddling Muslim propaganda.
Hypocrite and now Muslim political activist?
I remember judging hijabis so much before I ever wore it :/
Isn’t that weird? I was a non-practising Muslim judging the way other Muslims practiced
Ahh look…she explains her reason for wearing the Hijab, but not why she is more devout…she doesn’t want men looking at her in a sexual manner….
Why I love wearing hijab
By practicing hijab and covering some of the most traditionally attractive parts of a woman, the hair and body, I feel so much more in control. I no longer feel like an object ready for public consumption. While I still take pride in my appearance and will always love my makeup and dressing up from time to time, I feel that I can remove some of my sexuality from the public sphere which forces men to value me simply for my character. Truth be told, it can be daunting at times to be valued only for one’s character. Sometimes, on a bad day, I might worry that I don’t have enough to offer the world without being perceived as a “hot girl” too. But I have never felt more free.
Which is why she spends so much time slapping on the make-up and dressing up to catch the eye for her interviews and photo-shoots:
‘As a Muslim’ she has no interest in being ‘cute’ for the boys….
