Like Christianity or Judaism, anyone may convert to Islam. Therefore, like Christianity or Judaism, Islam is not a "race". But of course we all know that it is used as a proxy for bigotry against brown people. To that extent, then, there is such a thing as Islamophobia, and it is a real and growing problem.
Beware, though, of the impending attempt to define it. We have been here before with the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism, subscription to which is now compulsory in all three political parties, yet the position underlying which has just been defeated at the polls in Israel.
Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. A new party is now in the process of registration. After nearly 30 years of suggestion, speculation, and even a sort of preparation, I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham. The crowdfunding page is here, and buy the book here. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
