Yasmin get a life

Peter Oborne once said Islamophobia is the last form of acceptable bigotry and he is correct. However, we Muslims do not help the situation by occasionally being our own worst enemies.

Take the example of a Tory Councillor who through a tweet talked of stoning Yasmin Alibhai Brown to death. The sick joke and in very poor taste clearly calls into question his judgement as a politician but Yas this is not incitement to Murder.

With bigotry the solution is a diversity course to create understanding and mutual respect not an overcrowded prison cell. Perhaps this joke is generational or cultural for a Tory who grew up listening to Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson jokes and thinks stoning of women is as common in the Islamic world as western sexual assaults on women.

The irony of course was on a day when Muslims were inciting by burning the Poppy a joke gone wrong sends out a completely inconsistent message about one law for one community.

Yas, you have made your point but drop it, he has apologised so let's move on.

*** Update***  Yas has dropped it and will not press any charges, well done sis
