I think if politicians tweet this rubbish they might want to consider leaving politics altogether and if they insist on spouting then do it at the golf club or the masons with their mates, out of earshot of normal folk.

I don't care for any politician but this is about what Islamophobia means. He certainly made a racist comment.
If I made a comment about a Khashoggi Kebbab would I be classed as Saudiphobic?
Think I’ll just class you as a knobhead and go to bed.

I know this has been recommended to you already, but here you go:
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/islamophobia
A phobia is a type of anxiety disorder, defined by a persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation.[1] The phobia typically results in a rapid onset of fear and is present for more than six months.[1] The affected person goes to great lengths to avoid the situation or object, to a degree greater than the actual danger posed.

Nah the definition is ambiguous and fluid.
The Labour party has formally adopted a definition of Islamophobia, arguing that it is vital to tackling the rise of far-right racism.
The definition reads: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.”
More than 750 British Muslim organisations, 80 academics and 50 MPs have backed the definition. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/mar/20/labour-formally-adopts-definition-islamophobia
Mind you all of the above are accused of antisemitism ironically anyway.

Can you take us through which of the 750 organisations, 80 academics and 50 MPs have been accused of antisemitism ?

You don't get invited to many parties, do you.

The point here is : Why does it matter?
The original thread is a out the back-door reinstatement of some islamophobic/racist Tory councillors and you've turned it into an etymology discussion. Surely the original post by the OP is a more pressing topic of discussion that the dictionary-binfest that you've turned this thread into

What label would you like to give to the Clown Prince "The Master of Delusion" and his barbaric act of self defence of his Islamic Kingdom?

100% correct.
Sadly, it will be - and is - by some people.

It's hardly surprising. He seems to be wholly educated by youtube and has even given creedence to the Sandyhook conspiracy theory on NSC's pages. Nasty little shit.

Ah thank you, 2+2=5. I was waiting for someone to label me but your comment exposes more about you than myself.

If you had an ounce of self awareness you would realise what your posts on this thread are saying about you and you would let it slide down the pages and into obscurity.
Anyway, I expect you haven't so carry on.

Oh that was the time when NSC lost the plot when I dared to question Robbie Parker turning the tears on for the cameras at a press conference? So I am a nasty little shit for questioning that?
I remember getting more abuse from posters like you than when posters on here have accused the McCann's of killing their own daughter.
Go and troll someone else.

I'm waiting for someone to use the term "sheeple" in a non-ironic sense on this thread . Shouldn't be too long now.
