“Islamophobia”

I represented more Muslims than any other Conservative MP for the best part of a decade in High Wycombe from 2001 until 2010. I was elected a few months before 9/11, and stood down after a procession of horrors: the Afghanistan war, the Iraq conflict, 7/7, 21/7, the attack on Glasgow airport, two major conflicts between Israel and Hamas and one between Israel and Hezbollah. The first house in which I lived in the constituency turned out to be close by the home of the quartermaster of a plot to blow up a transatlantic aircraft.

During the 25 years that have passed since I was first elected, most British Muslims have been quietly getting on with their lives – like everyone else. But our common life together, in key respects, is getting worse rather than better.

Islam does not play well with others.

A European think-tank has released a study on Islamic terrorist attacks over the last 45 years, and the findings are stunning. Since 1979, they have recorded 67,000 Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide, including over 56,000 since 2013. On average, each attack killed nearly four… pic.twitter.com/VeSpP8qlpF

“Palestine” may not be a state, but, Islam is already an “empire” from Milan to Barcelona, and would like to open the prisons of Allah to priests as well.

The conviction of a Spanish priest for “hate speech” has ignited a national conversation about the boundaries of religious expression and freedom of conscience in Europe. Custodio Ballester, a Barcelona parish priest known for his outspoken views, was found guilty last week of making “Islamophobic” remarks in an article he wrote more than seven years ago.

Ballester wrote an article titled “The Impossible Dialogue with Islam,” where he wrote that “radical Islam wants to destroy Christian civilization and raze the West to the ground.”

Hamas fangirls, hijab sellers and deranged anti-Zionism made for a curious sight at the FiLiA feminist conference.

FiLiA – though it sounds like a knock-off sports shoe – is a gender-critical-feminist charity. Like any other lively organisation, it has had its fair share of skirmishes.

In 2015, Jane Fae (a man) pulled out of a conference due to divergent views on prostitution (the man was in favour – quelle surprise!). Julie Bindel and Caroline Criado-Perez also backed out as a result. Just last year, the woefully trans-captured Plaid Cymru banned the FiLiA stall from its spring conference in Caernarfon, after being informed that these feminists’ views were ‘potentially contrary to the party’s values’. (Amusingly, PC had to admit just a few months later that canceling FiLiA’s booking amounted to ‘an act of discrimination under the Equality Act 2010’.)
