Another terror attack

As of April 30, 2026, the Swedish government has moved to abandon the use of the term "Islamophobia," arguing that it is a problematic concept that can hinder legitimate criticism of Islam


Good idea.
It ought not too, but it certainly seems to, at least to some people.

Legitimate criticism must be protected without any reservations. I criticise all religious beliefs, without exceptions. The distinction between that and Islamophobia is obvious to me but if it helps to find another way then fine.

It isn’t.

If you actually read Starmer’s comment he was clear and unequivocal about that not being allowed to happen. Defining offensive language and ensuring public safety is a duty that can sometimes require actions.

Are you for real?!

Starmer said he would freeze Council Tax, he said there would be no increase in National Insurance, he said energy bills would come down because of ‘British Energy’…he also said he didn’t know Mandleson had failed his Developed Vetting until April 14th 🤣

You can’t believe a single word this man says.

Can't say we weren't warned
 
Since they plan to replace the term with "anti-Muslim racism" or "anti-Muslim hatred" this would appear to be a distinction without a difference.
More precise and intelligible to the intellectually challenged?

Islamophobia suggests an irrational fear of something. Which isn’t in your control.

Anti-Muslim racism or hatred suggests a negative attitude born from prejudice. Which is within your control.

Similar changes no doubt planned for Homophobia and Transphobia then.
 
A ban on hatred of those who hate us…
Hatred is never positive. It always destroys.

Meeting hatred with more hatred is not going to solve problems. It exacerbates them.

We must meet hatred with quiet rational determination, always in control of our emotions.

I am not a believer but turning the other cheek and loving your enemy in an effort to quell their hatred seems a much more positive response. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth justice just leads to conflict escalation.
 
‘Watson can be heard saying: “I really think you should press the button to wipe Jews off the face of the Earth.”’

As stated no one here supports that statement, and no one knows the context (was he drunk, trying to bed an attractive girl (plant) deliberately making anti Jewish statements and secretly recording him). There are often unstated contexts around this kind of thing.

Watson has never publicly aired this view.

Aside from that, there are your own double standards. You for example are a progressive and stay aligned with them despite them support the politics that put and puts (in American Democratic states) biological males into female prisons and women were and are raped because of it.

Didn't stop you from being left wing did it or supporting progressive voices does it.

Zack Polanski would do that.....and you like him.
 
Another bomb thing. Don't worry. Not terrorist, religious or racist. Only white people killed.

Two people have been killed and a major incident declared following an explosion in Bristol, police say.
Avon and Somerset Police were called to a residential address in Sterncourt Road, Frenchay, at about 06:30 BST before officers cordoned off the area and evacuated nearby residents from their homes to a "temporary rest centre".
"Given the recent change to the UK threat level, we would like to reassure the public from the outset we are not treating this as a suspected terrorist incident," the force said. (BBC website)

I’d say it was a Negative attitude born from experience and awareness.

I only have four cheeks to turn…there have been more than four atrocities against us from people who hate us…and what you may see as a strength in not responding to hate with hate, perhaps they see our response as a sign of weakness which encourages them further.
