THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Prejudice against Muslims has become widespread and socially acceptable in Britain, the Conservative chairman will claim.
Islamophobia has “passed the dinner-table test” and is seen by many as normal and uncontroversial, Baroness Warsi will say in a speech on Thursday.
The minister without portfolio will also warn that describing Muslims as either “moderate” or “extremist” fosters growing prejudice.
Lady Warsi, the first Muslim woman to attend Cabinet, has pledged to use her position to wage an “ongoing battle against bigotry”.
Her comments are the most high-profile intervention in Britain’s religious debate by any member of David Cameron’s government.
They also confirm the Coalition’s determination to depart from its Labour predecessor’s policy of keeping out of issues of faith.
Lady Warsi will use a speech at the University of Leicester to attack what she sees as growing religious intolerance in the country, especially towards followers of Islam. >>> James Kirkup, Political Correspondent | Wednesday, January 19, 2011
So what does this stupid woman expect us to feel about Muslims after 9/11, and all the other attacks on Western civilization? Is this the best that the Conservative Party can now kick up? Is this really the voice of Conservatism in Britain today?
Muslims have attacked Western civilization at each and every turn. So what else does this benighted woman expect the British to feel about her so-called religion. (I would call it a socio-political system clothed in a deity, but that’s for another day.) If Baroness Warsi really expects people to be less Islamophobic, it is my opinion that she should start to do hard work on her own Muslim community first, in order to make her Muslim brothers and sisters less xenophobic, more community-cohesive, and further, she should exhort them to stop being so supremacist, to stop them wanting to take over Western civilization and turn it into an Islamic civilization (if that word isn’t a contradiction in terms).
If Islamophobia exists at all, then it is because Christophobia by Muslims exists (witness what happened in Alexandria at Christmas). It exists because it is so clear to non-Muslims (or so-called “infidels”) that Muslims want desperately not to integrate and wish desperately to replace Western civilization and the rule of law with Islamic ‘civilization’ and sharia law. In short, Muslims want to establish the caliphate. Little wonder that Westerners are “Islamophobic”, if indeed they are! – © Mark
