If I drew up a Venn diagram of those who claim that "nothing is worth promoting hatred over" in order to deflect from the fact that Islamism within Muslim communities is a problem in the UK......and those who point out that Islamism is hatred of everything " haram" and even not.....
I know that there would be a significant non overlap as the deflectors seem so shy in stepping on the toes of Islam in a way that they are not with any other religion.
And no, " Islamophobia" is not the same as racism.
It would only be in the same ball park if being Muslim was not a choice ( as those who break their necks claiming that the words " forced" and " Islam/Muslim" have no relation to their one another do) and physiologically inate ( like race and sexual orientation).
And if racism did not exist within Muslim communities like it does in every other in the world.
The day that Islam outside of Islamic countries can withstand the disrespect and apathy that other religions have to withstand is the day so many look forward to.
This neo Crusade carry on when the majority of Islamic countries are dodgepots is high fuckry.
And communities trying to bring the same " back home" that they fled from to nations that culture wise are pretty much opposite and socially secular outside one's home and place of worship is a piss take considering fifty and forty years ago , the majority of their home nations managed to be Muslim despite dressing Western and not being so hypocritically pious.
Similarly, I went to a school where the largest non White Brit group was Pakistani/Indian and Bengali Muslim.
No performative praying, nothing about needing time and space to pray , not one hijab, one's dietary restrictions due to religion was one's responsibility, no policing of anybody's piety and outside of school, the Sari was worn by the Sikh, Hindu AND Muslim elder women related to our South Asian classmates (I went to Langdon Secondary in East Ham when I lived with my mother between 12-17 yrs before running back to the far more then popping Peckham).
No other " ethnic" group would be allowed to be so censorious and defensive if so much terrorism and hate was being perpetrated both on its behalf and by too many of its members and affecting so many not belonging to the group, most of which claim their first and premium loyalty is to the God they pray to and not even each other.
So please stop with the relativism today of all days.
It was not Jews driving cars through Muslim communities country wide , brandishing Star of Davids and shouting anti Islam/ Muslim slogans when Hamas and complicit Gazans committed the worst anti Jewish atrocity since the Holocaust on 7/10/23 thousands of miles away from the UK, in Israel.
Jews have been forced teamed by Muslims and anti Zionists pertaining to the Hamas attack, since the beginning.
But sly wretches want to jump offended when people associate Islam/Muslims/ anti Zionists/ "Pro Palestinians" with , if not Jew hatred, at least overwhelming apathy pertaining to the Jew hatred that comes from MANY MANY quarters of these specific groups.
I remember the bishes on this female centred website practically climbing over their one another to minimise the rapes of Jewish women on the CITME section of Mumsnet.
I also remember the other set of bishes who tried to cloak Hamas operatives in honour as " benign" kidnappers because the very first batch of released hostages looked fed and watered.
And now they are on this thread trying to police the grief and fear as if the cause of this terror is of vague provenance and not a shoe drop of an escalation of hatred coming from a specific or interelated specific group whose Jew hatred has been allowed to fester by the Powers That Be in ways that public hatred of other groups has not been ignored/ facilitated/ enabled by government/judiciary and Police.
The Jew haters better be careful what they wish for.
If every Brit Jew was to leave, despite being a small minority, the UK would be the much worse off, not they ( allowing for trauma due to self exile).
