It's an ideology that I've followed and studied for decades now. It's why I started this blog. Because after 9/121 George W Bush stood in the debris of the Twin Towers and told us that "Islam is a religion of peace". Even as we knew that the people who had flown planes full of people into buildings full of people in the name of their prophet. And I wondered "how can that be?". How can it be that it's a religion of peace and then massacre so many innocents.
The answer was in the Koran. Which I read, from end to end, and which gave me shivers up my atheist spine. It is a truly horrid and violent document. It's a workbook for terror. A textbook for hatred of non-believers, non cultists. And that's the case no matter how much one claims, tu quoque, that "the Bible is also violent".
I worried a decade and a half ago, when I started this blog, that allowing more and more people who organised their lives around the principles of the Koran wasn't going to end well for the UK. For Europe. for Australia.
And that has been the case. Things have indeed not gone well.
The societies of the UK, Europe and others where there's been mass immigration from Muslim countries, has been that their societies have become worse. They're more violent. They're less safe. They have less trust in their communities. Women can't walk alone and unveiled in many areas. In England, pubs are closing and being taken over as mosques. How has any of this made our societies better? Clearly not.
Until now we've been allowed to complain about it. Even if nothing is done.
But soon, in the United Kingdom, under the new Labour Party, we may not even be allowed to complain.
Harris Sultan breaks it down in the above video. Also here.

A copy of the proposed "Islamophobia" definition that may be adopted by the UK parliament. If so, god help us.
The British Labour Party "Islamophobia Complaints Handbook" by Anneliese Dodds
Example of an "offensive tropes" in the Complaints Handbook:
Suggesting that Muslims, individually or as a group in British society, pose a threat to British or European society, civilisation, or values.
BUT, But, but: there are very many Muslims in the UK who openly say they despise British values (many in Harris Sultan's video) and they want Sharia law in the UK. That's "a threat to British or European society, civilisation, or values", isn't it?? Islamists are allowed to say these things openly themselves. But if I say that they say these things, I'll be the one banged up for the alleged crime of "Islamophobia".
Disturbing results from polls on the attitude of British Muslims. Not much comfort there for the authors of the Complaints Handbook.
