Islamophobia: Conservative Party Members Suspended Over Posts [UK]
BBC ^ | 9/20/19 | Alex Forsyth

A number of Conservative Party members have been suspended for posting or endorsing Islamophobic material online.

The BBC highlighted over 20 new cases to the party, who said all those found to be members who shared or supported anti-Muslim posts on Twitter and Facebook were suspended immediately.

However, the officials would not reveal the exact number of members suspended.

A Conservative spokesman said the party was now "establishing the terms" of an investigation into the wider issue.

But Baroness Warsi, the former Tory chairwoman who was the UK's first female Muslim cabinet minister, accused her party of "backsliding".

There have been repeated calls for the party to hold an independent inquiry into allegations of Islamophobia among members, due to previous incidents that have been highlighted to the party and in the media.

The BBC was alerted to details of the new cases by an anonymous Twitter user, and independently verified each one before passing details to the Conservative Party.

The incidents ranged from individuals "liking" anti-Muslim pictures or statements on one or two occasions, to regular Islamophobic posts by people who said they were members of the Tory party.

Among the content that has been shared on social media, a Conservative councillor responded to a tweet in March, writing: "Islam and slavery are partners in crime."

>>a Conservative councillor responded to a tweet in March, writing: “Islam and slavery are partners in crime.”

Fact, slavery was and is part of the muslim world. Imam say that it was approved by Mohammed. Imam say that slavery is challenged by non-muslims. Imam say that slaves must be seized in jihad (holy war) and taken back to muslim territory before they are divided up.

Ask The Imam used to explain it all.

People can say the most vile things about Christians and Jews and nothing is ever done, not even condemnation of comments. The left just instinctively sides with evil.

The true Islamophobics are the cowards who persecute their own countrymen out of fear of Muslim outrage.

Telling the truth about Islam is being criminalized and that is criminal.

I happened to see this today (sorry for the subtitles, I can’t find anything by this man in English). I guess this very sane, erudite, thoughtful man would be considered ‘islamophobic’:
