  Labour are set to abandon the term ‘Islamophobia’ in favour of ‘anti-Muslim hate’ - a disgraceful watering down of horrific racism

  Actually, yeah, that is perfectly reasonable. Islamophobia is a stupid word. It can be used to apply to actual criticism of islam. And there’s no such thing as a phobia of an ideology. “Phobia” means irrational fear of.

  In terms of racism - an Arab Christian or Atheist can still be a target of anti-muslim hate. So it can be a form of racism. Attacking anyone based on religious belief is wrong, so yeah, it’s a better term. You can attack Islam all you like, but not innocent Muslims.

  IMHO The Canary is a rag of baity low-quality journalism. It’s basically a leftist daily mail.
