Islamophobia Is Code for Race-Hate and Religious Bigotry - Let's Force Britain First Off Our Streets

I'm told that if a Muslim comes into their house, sufferers of Islamophobia either jump on a chair and begin shrieking, hit out repeatedly with a broom or ask their partner to try and trap them between a glass and a piece of paper and let them go in the back garden.
While it is only right that we feel pity for the rare victims of this bizarre condition, we cheapen their suffering by continuing to tolerate the use of the term as code for race-hate and religious bigotry.
How much longer are we going to give a platform to thugs in suits struggling to keep a straight face for the cameras as they state they're "not racist, just against radical Islam", while their mates swill Stella and chuck Nazi salutes in the background?

Even if this bollocks wasn't coming out of the fat faces of a bunch of familiar faces from the BNP and more extreme racist groups, since when was singling people out for persecution due to their religion okay?
Oh yeah. In the '30s in Germany. Because Jews aren't a race are they. They're the followers of a religion, Judaism.
Have a listen to some of the hate rhetoric we're hearing from the likes of Britain First - "Muslims are taking over our neighbourhoods, Muslims won't integrate, the schools are full of Muslims, Muslims are trying to destroy our way of life, Muslims have no respect for our culture, Muslims are grooming and raping our children..."
You all know where I'm going with this. Now substitute the word Jew (or black) for Muslim. See? But this isn't just hate rhetoric coming from Britain First or toned down slightly from Ukip. It has become an acceptable line for newspapers to take.

This really has some across the water up in arms as usual.
Great article.

It's well recognized.  Bigotry.  We've had the KKK for centuries in this country.  Haha...sometimes you Brits think you invented sex.

All Muslims are terrorists!  Or, ...all blacks hold up liquor stores.  Bigotry is inevitably supported by racist or ethnic folk tales.

This is why I said, over on sphinx's site, that compared to us you Brits are wimp racists.  UKIP doesn't begin to cover it...
