They really tried to shut her up so she couldn’t finish speaking though!
"Racism and calling out racism is not morality equivalent." Dr @MehreenFaruqi makes the point that Islamophobia and anti-migrant sentiments are examples of hate speech that damage people. Anti-racism is not "vile" nor an "incitement of violence" as is claimed here by McQueenhttps://twitter.com/QandA/status/1110134447695892481 …

Yes, this was incredibly frustrating! Dr Faruqi has addressed racism in Parliament with eloquence but here a misinformed opinion is given more airtime. This doesn't advance public knowledge. "Both sides" of White supremacy and anti-racism aren't valid!

Absolutely. Totally admire her ability to remain so composed, well-spoken and even witty in such a rude & frustrating forum.

I wouldn't trust anyone who conflated practicing racism with calling out racist behavior.
