EHRC to write to the Conservative Party re Islamophobia

Perhaps there is a simple explanation, just read what I wrote. Don’t start thinking about it. Jeez fella get a grip.

That is not unique to Muslims though is it - there are equivalent documenation and guides on equality and diversity specific to all the significant minority faiths and ethnicities for education, employment etc.
They are usually published by Faith/Ethnic Community Organisations.

That would be great in an ideal world where everyone was completely sincere, had no internal biases, but unfortunately the world is not simply black and white - it's populated by human beings not robots.

It is quite relevant to my point that if we only take what is written at face value, then only idiots or people that don't care about the consequences will openly say things in a way that is clearly and unambiguously racist or bigoted.
All the smarter people can simply carefully chose their words, be disingenuous or even self deceiving in using only oblique, ambiguous words or phrases to mask their intentions and prejudices either to misinform or provide deniability.

You truly are sad, rather than just taking verbatim what someone says you choose to make up some fabricated story that only exists in your mind.

That or like every other human being that isn't completely stupid, I don't accept everything said to me at face value, because well people lie, have biases, prejudices and it's useful and important to ascertain the character, motivation and sincerity of the person.

Is it remotely possible that you are in completely denial that you are fallible, have prejudices and biases like the rest of us and that it is possible that either deliberately or subconsciously your posts could be interpreted as inconsistent when compared and contrasted ... and that it's not completely unreasonable for someone else to feel the need to question that apparent contradiction or bias.

I am personally well aware that personally I can sometimes come across as patronising, arrogant or pig headed amongst other things. I can also be rather over sensitive, but I am not completely thin skinned either.
You dish out the criticism and put down other posters regularly, but apparently can't take even the slightest bit of criticism without getting offended, upset and outraged.

Time out guys, before I have to make it official and do it for you.

Let me condense it for you.

Slurs against Jews have resulted in pogroms, forced conversions or death and ultimately mass murder, by way of the Holocaust. Hence why its dangerous and lethal to spread lies about Jews.

Cliff

I believe this whole issue of complaints against the Tory party, regarding Islamophobia, has politically motivated because of Labour's troubles with antisemitism.  Tit for tat.

Why would the Tory's would be any worse than Labour in this regard ?

Toko Black

That however, I am sure you will agree does not preclude the potential seriousness of the danger and lethality of spreading lies about any race, creed or colour.

The timing is certainly convenient..
