'Islamophobia' like 'racism' and 'hate' will be whatever a self-selecting victim says it is.

@sbor2020 There isn't one and never should be. It will be the end of all freedom.

@sbor2020 Defining Islamophobia AS A CRIME means no one will be able to discuss Islam, let alone oppose it. Freedom of speech is the foundation of all freedoms.

@sbor2020 You say: 'it’s important to recognise the distinction between criticising a belief system and promoting hatred or discrimination against a group of people based on their religion'. The Islamophobia law in the works makes no such distinction. We already have laws against 'hate speech, threats, or violence', an Islamophobia law is about privileging Islam; a religion with capital offences for those who transgress against it, and with millions who believe in those strictures now living in the country, darkness can only follow from the police and prosecutors submitting to them.

@sbor2020 “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness”, is already an agreed definition with The Muslim Council of Britain and the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims. This is the employment of vague terminology that can be interpreted in any way the authorities choose especially as it based on perceptions. It is another weapon to use against the host culture and majority. You cannot see how this will be used to shut down free speech about Islam and the discussion of Jihad. We already have laws against violence against individuals; we don’t have a vacuum allowing such things.
