Mosques firebombed? Not hearing that here.
Its the guardian you can't expect any facts or logic.
Since the soviet union fell apart they have been very very sad. Its probably similar to the after election depression the rats are still going through..
"Nottinghamshire police described the incident as racially aggravated, not as Islamophobic, angering Muslim groups and surprising some senior officers."
Guess I missed the memo that Islam is now a "race."
Oh, of course not.(How stupid to they think the public would be. And they wonder why the media and all has lost credibility.) Give me a break.
Now that's just cruel...
As far as the term "Islamophoia" goes - it's nonsense! Of course people fear those whose sole ideology is to kill all infidels & apostates and take over the world! There is NOTHING "irrational" in fearing that, as the term Islamophobia would suggest.
Islamophobic? Is that another way of saying, "observing reality and applying logic to form a rational opinion"?
Used to be that a "phobia" meant an irrational fear of something--heights, spiders, the number 13, etc., and manifested itself as a neurotic need to avoid the object of fear. Now it appears that "phobia" means an aggressive attack on something or someone--IOW, the exact opposite of what it used to mean.
It's like a lawyer joke.
What do we call it? A good start.
England was the place of Richard the Lion Hearted. Jihadists did spawn the last crusades...
Isn't a "phobia" an irrational fear? Well, considering that Islam is a cult of death that has hundreds of millions of adherents, fearing Islamics certainly isn't irrational. ....although the hooligans should've found a more appropriate target for their rage than innocent, poor Mr. Camel Butt. Find some actual Jihadists.
The British physician Theodore Dalrymple has written a devastating book titled "Life at the Bottom". It describes how political correctness and the welfare-state mentality have developed so firm a grip on Great Britain that its police officers often fail to respond to crimes at all. And when they do, they're more likely to take action on crimes against minorities than on crimes against whites. Assuming this is a race crime is unfortunately too typical of British police work today.
Just a comment. No description of the ethnicity of the attackers. In the US that usually means they're black, as if white the headline would identify them as such.
It was not Islamophobic. He was beaten to death by anti-smoking liberals.
Attacking some innocent guy will not accomplish anything.
I think we should all adopt the Muslim tactic when hearing of terrorism-backlash incidents. Make a statement condemning it, quickly add we hope this doesn't incite anyone to more Islamic terror, then sit on our asses and not lift a finger to stop it.

Islamophoba is waking up in the morning and remembering the moment you open your eyes that yesterday a suicide bomber or two or three blew up either a convoy and killed a number of brave young soldiers or a line-up of Iraqi men waiting to enlist, or shot a woman at her front door because she belonged to the government or wrote a book in either Iraq or Iran, islamophobia is watching the news every night on television knowing that before it's over there will be a bus or a train or a truck or a pizza parlour or a hotel filled with ordinary people, passengers, customers, guests, women and children blown to pieces by a crazed muslim yelling allah-akbar just before his body disintegrates and his head flies into the air to sometimes land on the fifth floor as happened in Indonesia recently, islamophobia is knowing that beheadings are video taped and the tapes are sold as entertainment in islamic countries where no doubt the obligatory allah-akbar is shouted while the film is rolling, islamophobia is asking oneself how can it be that a cult which has been responsible for the death of countless millions, throughout the middle east, throughout europe, throughout Africa with one massacre after another making up its entire history since the date of its inception by a brigand, a pirate, a mass murderer whose first 'gloriously' recorded act was to assist in the decapitation of 800 Hebrew men at Medina and bury them in a mass grave whereupon he took possession of the village, it's women and chilren and real estate and described it as a gift from allah who wanted him, mohammad and his evil band of murderers to have it all as an 'inheritance' ... that's some of what islamophobia is. It's also knowing that arafat was related to the mufti of Jerusalem whose name was Husseini, who was an officer in the army of the Ottoman empire, who took part in the massacre of one and a half million Armenian Christians and Lord knows how many Greeks at Smyrna, while shouting allah-akbar no doubt, the same Husseini who later recruited the muslim death squads for hitler in the second world war, that Husseini, who became the mufti of Jerusalem, have you got that? Who in between lived in Baghdad and was instrumental in setting up the carbon copy nazi government that expelled hundreds of thousands of Jews and Christians from Iraq without compensation...because well, if it was ok for mohammad to steal someone else's real estate and rape their women it was fine for them to do. That's the same nazi style government that saddam inherited, you remember him, he gave arafat's suicide bombers twenty five thousand dollars a head (sick pun not intended) because after all, they were close, the mufti and Saddam and Arafat, it's a tradition...that's what islamophobia is...I just figured it out while I was writing this for my own entertainment...ISLAMOPHOBIA IS KNOWING HISTORY!
BUMP to Fred Nerks!!
