Everyone seems to be tripping over themselves denouncing Boris Johnson for calling ISIS members "w***ers". Unhelpful though it maybe his more sinister comments about Islam and Muslims however have been ignored. In the same interview Boris says

"..How it can be that this one religion seems to be leading people astray?"

Here he blames the religion of Islam for what is currently happening in the Middle East and therefore pointing the finger at every Muslim who adheres to the religion of Islam accusing them in kind. Such shallow, narrow minded comments we'd expect from the EDL or BNP but London's Mayor? 

Truth is, it once again depicts the real insincerity our politicians show when dealing with the plague of terrorism. No mention whatsoever of how, maybe just maybe, our foreign policies - that have caused so much grief for so many in the Muslim world - may have something to do with it. 

Stories are the software of the brain, strongly
influencing which facts we let in and which we
choose to ignore. Changing how Americans think
and behave often comes down to replacing one
story with a new, more powerful narrative. In this short talk,
Andy Goodman will identify "master narratives" in American
life — stories that run so deeply through the culture that we may
not even be consciously aware of them, but they are constantly
shaping the debate on crucial issues, and any story we tell to
advance our causes will be tested against them.

The World's hypocritical stance on Israeli and other atrocities being perpetrated on Muslims #charliehebdo  

Remember the vile women that Mehdi Hassan mocked by suggesting she join UKIP so she could air her Islamophobic views more freely? Well even though she shook her head vigorously at the time, she did join UKIP and turned out to be too far to the right for them!

Moazzam Begg on HARDtalk

British Muslim civil rights campaigner Moazzam Begg discusses how current counter-terrorism measures are fueling the very problems they are trying to tackle and are alienating and radicalising some Muslims. He was detained at Guantanamo Bay ten years ago, and then last February he was held for seven months in a British prison. In October all terrorism-related charges against him were dropped and he walked free.

A challenge to all the Islamophobes on the irrationality of some of their main arguments - Namely:
- How right wingers differentiate good or bad Muslims on whether they a caliphate?
- How use of the word Kaffir as an outrageous term
- Abuse of the Muslim Identity
- Verses from the Quran that advocate violence
