Extremist-linked Muslim Group ‘Exerted Decisive Influence’ on Govt ‘Islamophobia’ Report
Breitbart ^ | 22 Dec 2018 | Victoria Friedman

Posted on 12/22/2018 9:16:43 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Controversial Muslim lobby group MEND, which has been accused of promoting extremism, has “exerted decisive intellectual influence” in Britain’s first Islamophobia report, according to a think tank research note. Sir John Jenkins, the former British Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, made the conclusions in a research paper for Policy Exchange after analysing the All-Party Parliamentary Group’s (APPG) report Islamophobia Defined: The Inquiry into a Working Definition of Islamophobia, which calls for the Government to establish a working definition of Islamophobia as “rooted in racism” and “a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.”

Sir John found that “despite being mentioned only once in the main body of the report… It is clear that MEND [Muslim Engagement and Development], an organisation with a tarnished reputation in Government circles, has exerted an important intellectual influence on the APPG.”

Sir John, who co-authored the British Government’s 2015 review of the Muslim Brotherhood which found that the Egypt-founded Islamic supremacist group had links to the influential Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), goes on to outline that “MEND has long been surrounded by controversy.

“Earlier this year, a senior MEND representative asserted that Muslims in the UK face a situation analogous to that of Jews in Nazi Germany before the Holocaust.

“Its former director of engagement, Azad Ali, is reported to have said in March 2017 that that month’s attack on Parliament, which killed five people, was ‘not terrorism’.”

Islamophobia makes as much sense as NaziPhobia or even commiePhobia. It’s not an irrational fear when the ideas behind the ideology are genuinely evil and need to be opposed by anybody who desires to be righteous.

“Muslimness” ... That’s a new one on me.

A lighter grade of “Muslim”? Designed for a sitcom like “Blackish”?

The Brits used to be proud of the fact they they were the first civ to outlaw slavery.

Now they have a slaver as mayor of London, and they enslave anyone that speaks out against the slavers!

When people are trying to kill you and take away your right it is right to fear and despise them.

Britain’s first Islamophobia report
There's no way to get any other result anyway, with a title like that. The reality is, the other word for Islamophobis is "survival instinct". Thanks E. Pluribus Unum.
