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 …

I think that you think she’s a racist. I’m right aren’t I?

Mate, try reading what I wrote without the privileged snark. Liberals overusing the word racist here hurts PoC. By silencing critique, we facilitate a blasphemy taboo that actually gets “heretical” Muslims killed on our streets by fundamentalist fanaticshttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/aug/09/tanveer-ahmed-jailed-for-murder-glasgow-shopkeeper-in-sectarian-attack …

Hey
@ConfessionsExMu &@SecularlyYours some all-white pop band above, trying to shame journalists from criticising hijab, by publicly calling them racists - all while never having had to suffer fundamentalist modesty culture. Please kindly help disabuse them of their privilege17 replies 113 retweets 843 likes -

Surprise surprise, the all-white pop band has blocked me, instead of defending their privileged accusation of “racism” against people who simply criticise fundamentalist Islam. Privilege is as privilege does.

With all due respect and gratitude, Maajid, he/they aren’t privileged. Everyone is entitled to give an opinion (within the law) regardless of their skin colour or religion.

Nothing to do with law. This is the political disagreement we have. I’m not right wing. If you’ve never had hijab forced on you, you should hear voices who have before calling people racist for criticising. Experience & knowledge from Muslim secular activists counts for something

I’m not right wing either. I’m no wing. I have spoken with dozens of women who wear or have worn the hijab. I don’t speak from ignorance.

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

Also just hopping back in to say Islam isn’t a race. Neither are Buddhism or Christianity.
