“Deeply Worrying and Chilling Stuff” | Fears of Social Unrest over Islamophobia Definition
Aug 26, 2025 | Work to create an official definition of Islamophobia would risk “a chilling effect on free speech”, the Conservatives have warned.
Ministers have launched a “working group” aimed at forming an official definition of what is meant by Islamophobia or anti-Muslim hatred within six months.
The group has been created as incidents of hate crime in England and Wales aimed at Muslims are at an all-time high, according to the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government.
Broadcaster Rafe Heydel-Mankoo joins Talk’s Ian Collins to discuss this further.

Blasphemy in Morocco with Mohamed
Please be aware that some people might be offended by some of the content in this video. I am posting this discussion because it is very interesting and very informative. Posting it, however, should not necessarily be construed as a full endorsement.
My visitors and followers will know by now that I am committed to freedom of thought and freedom of expression. I abhor censorship in all its forms. I am also committed to the concept of freedom of religion and man’s right to reject what he considers to be myth and fable, too. If a person rejects the concept of God, then so be it. Advancement in this world can only be achieved with freedom of thought and freedom of expression. Societies which reject freedom of thought, freedom of expression, and freedom of religion, or punish people for the agnosticism or atheism are always held back in their scientific and societal progress.
Blasphemy laws are a nonsense and do not belong in the modern world. – © Mark Alexander
The Moroccan atheist referred to in this video is Kacem El Gazzali. You can find information on him on WIKIPEDIA here.

Eight-year-old Becomes Youngest Person Charged with Blasphemy in Pakistan
THE GUARDIAN: Hindu boy faces possible death penalty after being accused of intentionally urinating in a madrassa library
An eight-year-old Hindu boy is being held in protective police custody in east Pakistan after becoming the youngest person ever to be charged with blasphemy in the country.
The boy’s family is in hiding and many of the Hindu community in the conservative district of Rahim Yar Khan, in Punjab, have fled their homes after a Muslim crowd attacked a Hindu temple after the boy’s release on bail last week. Troops were deployed to the area to quell any further unrest.
On Saturday, 20 people were arrested in connection with the temple attack.
The boy is accused of intentionally urinating on a carpet in the library of a madrassa, where religious books were kept, last month. Blasphemy charges can carry the death penalty. » | Haroon Janjua in Islamabad | Monday, August 9, 2021

Blasphemy 'Is No Crime', Says Macron amid French Girl's Anti-Islam Row
Emmanuel Macron has waded into a row over a schoolgirl whose attack on Islam has divided France, insisting that blasphemy is “no crime”.
The French president defended the teenager, named only as Mila, who received death threats and was forced out of her school after filming an anti-religious diatribe on social media.
Macron’s intervention comes after his justice minister, Nicole Belloubet, was criticised for claiming Mila’s attack on religion was “an attack on freedom of conscience” while saying the death threats were “unacceptable”.
The case has sparked a furious public debate in France, a strictly secular republic with a large Muslim population. The education authorities have since found another school for the teenager. » | Kim Willsher in Paris | Wednesday, February 12, 2020
