The temptation to tease you is too strong! Your ex-colleagues in GB News definitely miss you and you are a very huggable personality (but you are not used to it so I think you need to visit GB News more often so they can hug you more!).
There is no islamophobia because there is no irrational fear. It is quite a rational one.
Well, isn't "Islamaphobia" adhering to the same liguistic convention as "homophobia"? It's an irrational fear or hatred of [x]. It certainly does exist. I'd like to think there is enough nuance in this community to acknowledge the difference between legitimate concerns over radical or extremist individuals or systems, and widespread hatred of an entire religious group.
Your mastery of the English language should be able to explain this to me. What is the difference between "anti-Muslim hate" and "Muslim hate"? I can understand that "Muslim hate" must be hatred of anything Muslim so logically "anti-Muslim hate" must be hatred of anything anti-Muslim. So does that mean that "anti-Muslim hate" is "Muslim love"? Should the government be introducing a definition of "anti-Muslim love", that is the love of anything anti-Muslim?
Can you imagine living during the war and being arrested for hating the Nazis?

Andrew, I'm confused.

Maybe it should be described as "anti Muslim-hate".
Great interview, Andrew.
Islamophobia and all hate crime need to go!
Have cross posted.
