"When a Jewish News journalist pointed out that similarly large single sex prayer events are also held by Orthodox Jews in London, Badenoch’s representative replied that the Iftar event was “different”, without explaining how."

Well that's ok then!

Timothy must go?

If she fails to answer the question fully if put to her, she should consider her position too?

Kudos to the Jewish News journalist who skewers the hypocrisy in Nick Timothy's bleatings.

There's a notion out there Muslims are somehow given "special treatment" and other religions are ignored or disadvantaged. Certainly, in my part of the world, Hindu, Sikh, Orthodox and Christian religious events are observed,

Diwali and especially Onam (Keralan) are observed in East Ham as is the birthday of Guru Nanak when there is a Sikh parade down the High Street.

Why does nobody need to be ordered not to fear Hindus, Sikhs, Jews and Christians?

My Dad moved to the US. He worked on abortion policy. His friends, who actually did abortions, had been shot at by Christians.

A member of our local congregation survived the 1982 Hyde Park bombing by the IRA, part of a sectarian conflict between two groups of Christians.

That doesn't explain why we need to be obligated to not fear Islam

That’s just you getting hung up on etymology. “Islamophobia” has the root -phobia in it, but like homophobia, it’s not a real phobia. It’s about bigotry towards a group. Against Jews, we call it anti-Semitism; against Muslims, we call it Islamophobia.

Our special treatment of anti-semitism stems from the holocaust. Labour's proposed special treatment of islamaphobia stems from what? We got too grumpy and over-reacted when they blew up our tube trains?

I kinda think it shouldn’t take a genocide for us to stop being bigoted against a group.

Why might we need the government to take some sort of action around Islamophobia? Well, look at this thread and the half a dozen people being very bigoted against Muslims, making up nonsense about Muslims, declaring Islam a unique threat. Two of the commonest bigotries in our country today are anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. (Ziganophobia is up there too.)

Phobia has a clinical definition

Homophobia often conceals homosexuality

It’s an irrational fear, like the clinical definition of phobia

Xenophobia, fear literally of barbarians, but fear of foreigners, is largely irrational, but can be otherwise in some circumstances

Fear of submission is entirely irrational and should be illegal

Phobia has a clinical definition, but neither homophobia or Islamophobia are clinical diagnoses. They ain’t in the DSM.

We’ve ended up with words of a confusing etymology to mean bigotry against particular groups. Trying to interpret these words based on their etymology is about as stupid as the people who say that Palestinians can’t be anti-Semitic because they’re Semites too.

You're a clown

At least he's not a nasty racist bigot islamophobe. I'm sure that will be very comforting thought when the UK begins to adopt parts of Sharia into our statute boom because the left will do nothing to oppose it.

Some Sikhs are arseholes too

I've also met a lot of Zionist wankers from Israel, who are outright racists and Jewish supremacists. Similarly with nationalist Hindus, and Buddhists in Myanmar, and so on

But the only religion that poses a threat everywhere and worldwide is Islam, in its conservative guise. This is a sad but unavoidable truth. This is why no one wants to move to Islamic countries (with the noble exception of the UAE, now sadly threatened). They are despised as fearful places that repress women, even if they are wealthy

And, again, this is well known in moderate Muslim countries, like the Stans in central Asia. They are all-too-aware of the problem. Hence their banning of the burqa, official licensing of imams, prohibition of Islamic political parties, etc
