Subject: RE: BS: Tommy Robinson's Arrest
It's the old story. I wonder how many of those who attack Robinson have actually listened to him!
Looking up the meaning of Islamophobia, I fond this:" a dislike of or prejudice against Islam or Muslims.
Now, it's not difficult to understand why lots of people, especially in the West, would indeed feel a dislike for certain teaching, and practices of Islam.
And, of course, if I were to ask any Mudcat poster the following questions, it could be argued that their answers would make them Islamophobic.
1) Do you believe homosexuals should be persecuted?
2) Do you believe a person should be killed for leaving their faith?
3) Do you believe that women should have lesser rights than men?
And so on.
Again. if you answer no to any of the above are you Islamophobic?
Nobody in their right minds would say that certain Islamic teachings and practices are acceptable in Western cultures, and that is a big problem.
