.... This brings me to sound one cautionary note. Islamophobia does exist, and it infuriates me that some who wish to wipe Islam off the map actually believe that their agenda helps reformist Muslims. It does not. By defining Islam in the same dogmatic terms as Muslim extremists do, Islamophobes gift those extremists with the authority to decide what Islam must be. In which case, Islam-haters are the allies of Islam-supremacists — not of reformists.
[A COMMENT] our idiotic Multiculturalist ideology created a monster, especially after turning a blind eye to the death threats and extremism visible in 1989 when Muslims called for the killing and torture of an innocent man for writing a book (Iqbal Sacranie was later leader of The Muslim Council - an unelected politbureau of bigots - and was made a Sir by Tony Blair).
The answer is simple: we should not give one inch to any Islamic demands. We should instead enforce our Western Enlightenment values on Muslims and all those who live in the UK, And if they do not like it, then they can go live in a failed state like Pakistan where they are free to marry their 12 year old cousins and murder gays or anyone who dares to speak the truth about Islam and its history and its so-called prophet (husband of a 6 year old), who was also utterly intolerant of criticism.
