Transcript [00:00] you will be told you can't complain [00:02] because you're Islamophobic. [00:05] The term is already being introduced [00:07] into the culture as if it was an [00:09] accusation of race hatred. [00:11] >> Clearly, we need to just say over and [00:12] over again um Islamophobia is [00:15] intolerable. Uh it can never ever be uh [00:18] justified and we have to continue with a [00:21] zero tolerance approach. The government [00:24] in the UK is currently considering a new [00:28] draft law making it illegal to be [00:33] Islamophobic. They don't use the term in [00:35] the draft of the law, but they're making [00:37] a law. They're currently working on this [00:39] draft of a law to make anti-Muslim hate [00:44] illegal. And we're going to get into the [00:45] details of that law and the controversy [00:48] that's surrounding it a little bit. But [00:49] first, it brings to mind an old clip by [00:53] Christopher Hitchens, the uh a famous [00:56] atheist author. He died in 2011, but in [00:59] 2009, he warned about the whole [01:03] Islamophobia issue. Let's take a look. [01:06] >> Or give it to your deadliest enemy and [01:09] pay for the rope that will choke you. [01:13] This is very urgent business, ladies and [01:15] gentlemen. I beseech you. Resist it [01:17] while you still can and before the right [01:19] to complain is taken away from you, [01:21] which will be the next thing. You will [01:23] be told you can't complain because [01:26] you're Islamophobic. [01:28] The term is already being introduced [01:30] into the culture as if it was an [01:32] accusation of race hatred, for example, [01:35] or or or bigotry, whereas it's only the [01:37] objection to the preachings of a very [01:39] extreme and absolutist religion. Watch [01:41] out for these symptoms. They are not [01:43] just symptoms of surrender. very often [01:45] ecumenically offered to you by men of [01:47] God in other robes, Christian and Jewish [01:50] and smammy ecumenical. These are the [01:53] these are the ones who will hold open [01:54] the gates [01:55] >> for the barbarians. The barbarians never [01:57] take a city till someone holds the gates [01:59] open for them. [02:00] >> And it's your own preachers who will do [02:02] it for you and your own multicultural [02:04] authorities who will do it for you. [02:06] Resist, resist it while you can. And if [02:10] you wonder what will happen if you [02:11] don't, look and see how a cricket team [02:14] in Middle Sex in England had to change [02:16] its name by force last week because it [02:18] was called and had been for years, the [02:20] Middle Sex Crusaders. Look and see how [02:23] stories about little pigs can't be [02:25] taught to children in English schools [02:26] anymore and lest offense be taken by the [02:29] religion of peace. [02:33] Resist it while you can. [02:36] One of the things that is coming up over [02:37] and over again um is Islamophobia and [02:41] well you can see the stats, you can see [02:43] the numbers rising particularly since [02:44] October the 7th. Although we shouldn't [02:47] fall into the trap of thinking that [02:48] before October the 7th um this was all [02:50] heading in the right direction. It's [02:52] been far too high for far too long. [02:54] Clearly we need to just say over and [02:56] over again um Islamophobia is [02:59] intolerable. uh it can never ever be uh [03:02] justified and we have to continue with a [03:04] zero tolerance approach and I think [03:07] there's more we can do in government. [03:09] There's certainly stuff online which I [03:10] think needs tackling much more robustly [03:13] than it is at the moment. [03:14] >> What I'm hoping K is your experience as [03:16] a prosecutor means you'll be thinking [03:18] about the strategy we can use. [03:19] >> Yes. Yes. After October 7th, since [03:21] October 7th, Islamophobia has surged. [03:25] What a terrible problem. I wonder why [03:27] Islamophobia [03:29] has surged since October 7th. Maybe it's [03:31] because Kamas in their founding charter [03:35] calls for the death of all Jews by [03:37] citing a hadith, a holy writing of [03:40] Islam. But let's get into what's going [03:42] on in the UK right now. So there's this [03:46] draft law that is being considered. [03:48] Ministers finalizing definition of [03:50] anti-Muslim hatred. This is from last [03:52] month. And the government is considering [03:54] a draft definition of anti-Muslim hatred [03:57] which does not include the term [03:59] Islamophobia. So the draft definition [04:01] reads as follows. Here it is. [04:02] Anti-Muslim hostility is engaging in or [04:07] encouraging criminal acts including acts [04:09] of violence, vandalism of property and [04:11] harassment and intimidation whether [04:14] physical, verbal, written or [04:17] electronically communicated which is [04:19] directed at Muslims or those perceived [04:21] to be Muslims because of their religion, [04:23] ethnicity or appearance. It is also the [04:26] prejuditial stereotyping and [04:28] racialization of Muslims as part of a [04:31] collective group with set [04:32] characteristics to stir up hatred [04:35] against them irrespective of their [04:37] actual opinions, beliefs or actions as [04:40] individuals. Now this is extremely vague [04:43] whether physical, verbal, written or [04:44] electronically communicated. It could be [04:46] any kind of harassment or stereotyping [04:49] of Muslims [04:51] and the vagueness of it is a problem. In [04:54] fact, we just see this headline from [04:56] today in the Sunday Telegraph and the [04:59] day that this is being recorded during [05:01] the Iran protests. It says here that [05:04] Islamophobia law risks silencing Iran [05:07] protests in England because the Iranian [05:11] regime is a Muslim regime and the and [05:14] part of the problem with the regime if [05:16] you start talking about the problem of [05:17] the hijabs and everything that the [05:20] Iranian regime imposes on its people you [05:23] could come off as being anti-Islamic if [05:26] you're opposed to the if you point out [05:28] the Islamic nature of the regime and you [05:31] are opposing it or dispar encouraging it [05:33] that could even fall under this. So [05:37] there there's an outcry in England now [05:38] like hey wait a second maybe we can't [05:40] even protest on behalf of the of the [05:43] people of Iran. And also it was reported [05:45] a few months ago that that the Christian [05:47] and Hindu leaders in England have been [05:50] have been calling out this draft law [05:53] because any criticism of Islam could be [05:57] criminalized under this law. And if [05:59] they're spreading their own faiths or [06:01] talking to their children or talking to [06:02] their communities about the dangers of [06:04] going to a different faith and if they [06:06] end up criticizing Islam in the process, [06:09] they could be found liable under this [06:11] draft law. This whole Islamophobia thing [06:14] is absolute nonsense. It but I mean [06:17] nonsense is actually too light a word. [06:19] It's actually a very devious plot to [06:22] make us all afraid to criticize an [06:26] ideology and a belief system and a [06:29] political system which is what Islam [06:30] really is that is seeking to destroy all [06:33] of us. And by by calling it Islamophobia [06:36] it turns it into this kind of political [06:38] correct thing that we're not allowed to [06:39] say anything. you know the uh you know [06:42] what Kier Starmer said there in that in [06:44] that in that piece at the end of that [06:47] video that Islamophobia has surged after [06:50] October 7th. It brought this to mind [06:52] that in in Australia there is this [06:56] outcry by the Muslim community and by [06:58] the liberal left. Islamophobia has [07:00] surged since the Bondi attack, meaning [07:03] the Muslim jihadist terrorist attack [07:07] that slaughtered Jews at Bondi Beach in [07:10] Australia. So here you have this guy [07:11] Afab Malik writing in the Guardian that [07:14] Australia's Muslim community should not [07:16] have to endure the abuse because there's [07:19] been a surge in Islamophobia ever since [07:21] the Bondi Beach attack. And this of [07:23] course reminds us all of Nor McDonald, [07:26] the great comedian who passed away a [07:27] number of years ago where he he tweeted [07:30] famously, "What terrifies me if ISIS [07:32] were to detonate a nuclear device and [07:34] kill 50 million Americans? Imagine the [07:36] backlash against peaceful Muslims." [07:38] Look, this whole this low this whole [07:39] Islamophobia thing, like I said, it's a [07:42] scam. It's designed to make us afraid to [07:46] call out Islam for the danger that it [07:48] is. And bottom line, is anyone out there [07:50] attacking Muslims? Do we see any any [07:53] anti-Islamic [07:55] terrorist attacks taking place? The [07:57] whole thing is designed to make us [08:00] afraid to speak the truth about what [08:02] Islam is, about the danger that it is. [08:05] So don't buy into it. Islamophobia is a [08:08] scam.
