There are calls today for an enquiry into ‘Islamophobia’ within the Tory party. Though there is no excuse for describing Muslims in derogatory terms, many misgivings about Islam are both reasonable and rational. For example, the penalty for apostasy - leaving the faith - in any Muslim majority country, is death. Death is not inevitable, of course. However, since the death penalty for apostasy is enshrined in the terms and conditions of the Islamic enterprise, it remains a possibility, which may be enough to convince Muslim apostates to keep their doubts and unbelief to themselves. If we're going to have an enquiry about 'Islamophobia', then maybe we should hold the tenets of Islam up to the light as well.
Licenced today: the George Hotel in Huddersfield…
