Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4"Islamophobia has become the new racism."
Does that explain why the SWP never get involved in fighting "old" racism - deportations and old-fashioned things like that?
"Islamophobia has become the new racism."
Islam is a religion not a race. Muslims are white, brown, yellow, black. Opposing Islamist oppression of women, gays and workers cannot be racist. Are Iranian and Iraqi socialists who oppose and criticise Islam, racists?
Religion is the opium of the people...but the swp supports any anti-US imperialist group unconditionally not matter how reactionary and authoritarian, wtf
One problem with Islamophobia is that it's being used by racists to attack Muslims, who are mostly non-white. It's a thinly-veiled form of racism. (Why do you think Nick Griffin of the BNP attacks Islam?)
On the other hand, I abhor the intolerant views of certain forms of Islam, which is why I don't support the SWP, who are too eager to embrace any organisation that they regard as anti-imperialist.
