Islamophobia is not just bigotry or fear. It's a frenzy that fills the gaps in our social imagination. As Badar's cancelled talk shows, it also doesn't require the Muslim to say anything.
[A COMMENT] The question is always just how tolerant should we be of an ideology as intolerant as Islam?
Now I am delighted to see so many here who are willing to stand up and be critical of the totalitarian ideology of that is Islam, sadly there are so many on the left who will do anything to avoid criticizing this faith no matter what affront they may present to our secular values.
[ANOTHER] So outrage at giving this guy a platform for his abominable views is "xenophobia " now?
I look forward to your defense of Andrew Bolt in his upcoming talk - "Killing Muslims is morally justified".
[ANOTHER] You'll forgive me for laughing in the face of accusations of 'islamophonia', this individual is a spokesperson for a particularly nasty organisation that not only wants a global caliphate ruled by sharia law, but actively calls for the annihilation of Israel and Jews.
He has form for veiled threats of terrorism in this country & regularly disrespects our rule of law and those who don't follow his cults teachings.
It should be noted that even other Muslims consider his organisation to be particularly evil.
He has never denied that he and his organisation actively seek to destroy our way of life. Read some of his earlier stuff, it's frightening. [Guardian Cif] Read more
