The New Culture Forum | Banning Criticism of Islam: Blasphemy Law by the Back Door. A Labour Government Should Scare Us All @NewCultureForum | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
The Labour Party has adopted a wide-ranging definition of "Islamophobia", which it currently expects all of its councils to accept. If Labour wins the General Election, it is expected to introduce this draconian restriction on free speech as legislation, either on its own or as part of a Race Equality Bill.
This is chilling. No religion should be above criticism. Criminalising anti-Muslim or anti-Jewish or anti-Christian hatred is one thing. But to criminalise criticism of the religion and ideology of Islam is another thing entirely.
To discuss this we are joined by Tim Dieppe, Head of Public Policy at Christian Concern and author of "Banning Islamophobia: Blasphemy Law by the Back Door" (a Free Speech Union Publication). You may download it here: freespeechunion.org/banning-islamophobia-blasphemy-law-by-the-backdoor
