EHRC to write to the Conservative Party re Islamophobia

Bl4ckGryph0n

The article headline is misleading. That's not why he was expelled.

He admitted voting for the libdems. He compared Boris to Hitler. And he was only ejected from the group, which runs itself - it is not run by the party leadership.

Confirming the news, the Conservative Muslim Forum said: "It was felt by the Executive Committee of the Conservative Muslim Forum that Mohammed Amin has breached the constitution of the Forum and brought the Conservative Party and the Forum into disrepute. … members present unanimously voted for Mohammed Amin to be expelled from membership of the Forum and as an office holder."

So he did exactly the same as Alistair Campbell who was expelled from Labour...

Oh dear..

Bl4ckGryph0n

and of course the party will be equally punitive against members known to have voted BP

EDIT ... although this wasn't expulsion from the party, just an affiliated group

It was an observation, not telling you off. But hey if you feel guilty

If there are any new definitions, for religious hatred then it must be applied equally to all religions. We must not have one covering Islam or a single religion as though it’s special.

After the BBC PM hopeful debate where the candidates were railroaded into an Islamophobia investigation, it is likely that a definition of some kind will be needed. We must be careful how it is worded and that it doesn’t get conflated with racism.

Meet the Tories (You Gov poll)

40% of Conservative members want a limit on Muslim immigration.

43% of Conservative Party members "would prefer to not have the country led by a Muslim."

45% believe that "there are areas in Britain in which non-Muslims are not able to enter."

67% believe that "there are areas in Britain that operate under Sharia law."

39% believe that "Islamist terrorists reflect a widespread hostility to Britain amongst the Muslim community."

These are the people selecting the next PM - a motley collection of racists, bigots and xenophobes.
