No. Just, no. I have political disagreements with @JuliaHB1 but calling someone a racist for criticising Islam (not all Muslims) creates a blasphemy law through the backdoor, endangering secular Muslim reformers. Also,actual racism then gets ignored. Here:https://twitter.com/maajidnawaz/status/1050673983606026240?s=21 …

Didn’t say you did speak from ignorance. I was implying the boy band were. Chill dude. I’m on your side here.

Oh, sorry, your previous tweet looked like it was directed at me. Apols

He was def on your side in this. There aren’t many issues that can galvanise debate across the political division. I think this is one issue that seems to have risen above politics. So far.

M&S stocking Hijabs is like Asda stocking world foods, they're selling something which would be brought elsewhere by a specific market, no one who wouldn't wear a hijab is going to start because M&S sell them. It's called inclusion & it's sad that you can't see that.

The inclusion of little girls to a theocracy that forces its regressive version of modesty on them is an issue for many. Your smug and lazy thinking isn’t helpful to young girls, and it’s sad that you can’t see that.
-
You care as much for those little girls as you do for the women who have their Hijabs pulled off in the street. There is a growing, frighteningly acceptable atmosphere of Islamiphobia, River Island & Tesco suffered a simlar backlash when they featured muslim women in their ads.

No...apart from never challenging right wing narratives, policies, politics and articles, not right wing at all

Ohhhh!!! Almost forgot..you’re so “not right wing”, that you joined in the joy, when BoJo started punching down on the mums, sisters and aunts of the Muslim girls you claim to be defending

Seems to me the point he is making is that he’s not white, the band are white, talking about a religion they aren’t a part of, using the word racism when race isn’t even a part of the subject, and can’t see that he’s in a position of ignorance
-
*they are in a position of ignorance rather
