Islam.

[Atheist]

There is a lot of anti-muslim feeling here on AB, and also some anti-christian feeling. I'd be interested to hear from muslims who have thoughts on this.

Will a muslim Labour MP suffice as to your quest of racism/islamaphobia that had grooming swept under the carpet.

Old news Tambo, from 2017. As disgusting as the tweet was, it was apparently from a fake account of a fellow MP, which she claimed to have misread and deleted the retweet immediately after tweeting it.

Also from Wikipedia:

On 1 October 2020, pro-Brexit group Leave.EU apologised and paid damages for libel to Shah after they made a social media post which accused her of being a "grooming gangs apologist". In a statement, Leave.EU said that their post was "ill-judged and untrue" and described Shah as a "vociferous campaigner for victims of grooming gangs".

Naz Shah has form. She also supported the bizarre notion that Jews living in Israel could be relocated to the US.

[naomi24]

As for the authorities ignoring Muslim grooming gangs ...

Roy, so it was claimed. I'm not defending the woman, just posting her response so people can see both sides. She does seem to be a nasty piece of work.

[naomi24]

Regardless of where the tweet originated, she agreed with it and re-tweeted it.

By aides of the woman herself. It was a press release after the event. The truth of it or not, only she knows.

[Mozz71]

Apologies Roy, I misread the article. It read. "Labour member Owen Jones", I read it as "Labour MP..." .

[naomi24]

Oh crikey! Owen Jones! Yep! That figures. :o/

[Mozz71]

Not heard of him. I'm guessing from your reaction he's some kind of far-left commentator.

[royfromaus]

It had absolutely nothing to do with Owen Jones.
It was an Owen Jones parody account but the fact that she both liked the tweet and retweeted the tweet tells any sane person it was no accident.

[naomi24]

You could say that, mozz.

[Mozz71]

I did say it was a fake account. As I said, I'm not defending her, just posting what was claimed.

[keyplus90]

I was just passing by and it's nice to see that a handful of people still remember me in good words. Thanks.

[Mamyalynne]

Hope you're well.
