Because Islamophobia is a made up trigger word for people who are critical of Islamaniacs?

‘Islamophobia’ was created by fascists is provable: the term was conjured up and pumped into the international debate around politics and religion decades ago by the Muslim Brotherhood.

But let us not discuss this because you will remove me from the thread or ban me from NSC altogether.

You discussed it though. And you're still here.

I think he is suggesting that islamophobia doesn't exist.

I think the point he is trying to make is one of semantics, so people get engrossed in the use of a particular word, so as to deflect away from the original point of the thread - I think!

As is anti-semitic for people who are critical of Zionist Israel.

So you're okay with people discriminating against Muslims and calling them 'sand peasants' simply because you don't like the term used to describe it? Very strange behaviour.

Islamophobia is still not defined because being critical of Islam is also classed as Islamophobic too.

What is Islamophobia? I will let Douglas Murray explain it to you as I have no interest in discussing anything with a mod who keeps removing and blocking me:

No what he said was racist, not Islamophobic.

Being critical is not necessarily the same as having a phobia though. So not all criticism will be classed as a phobia.

The OP aksed 'Why do the Conservatives think this ok?'

You then say 'Because...' and proceed to go on a diatribe about the term 'islamophobia', i.e implying that you thought it was OK.

The OP's point, which you totally warped, still stands: Why do the Conservatives think this ok?

A phobia is an irrational fear of something ffs.

Fight the Islamophobia Excuse:

Abdur Rahman Mohammed, a former Brotherhood operative, recorded being present at a Brotherhood meeting where the members decided to use the term “Islamophobia” as a political weapon. “This loathsome term is nothing more than a thought-terminating cliché conceived in the bowels of Muslim think tanks for the purpose of being down critics,” he later remarked...................... https://clarionproject.org/fight-the-islamophobia-excuse/

It's barely more than a week since someone murdered 50 innocent people attending religious services in a Mosque in New Zealand, yet on this thread we have someone arguing that bigotry against islam is made up , presumably by social justice warriors or snowflakes or libtards or whatever alt right insult is in fashion this week. Symyjym you are a dangerous cretin and a heartless moron and i hope you are removed at least from this thread and ideally the whole board.
