1. Corbyn & other parliamentarians speak at launch of Islamaphobia Awareness Month in Parliament. 2. Later in the month a totally unrelated group invite a radical preacher to speak at an IAM event in Deptford. The Times conclusion: Corbyn gives platform to extremists. Not really

Brian, The Times has a history of problematic articles on Islam & Muslims. Case in point: https://twitter.com/miqdaad/status/975671141783277568?s=19 … Just imagine - they got someone with a history of anti-Muslim bigotry to write about Sharia law! Do you think they would do that for any other minority?

What specifically do you disagree with in the Flather article? And do you dispute the characterisation of Mend and CAGE?

“Corbyn’s drive for tolerance...launched in Parliament by Jeremy Corbyn...” It was not his initiative, he didn’t launch it, he was one of many speakers, he was not the first speaker & he was only there for about 10 minutes.

Replying to @brianpaddick @DAaronovitch and
[Corbyn] “gave platform to extremists”. There were no extremists at the meeting in Parliament. A completely different organisation gave a platform to a “radical preacher” under the banner ‘Islamaphobia Awareness Month’ at a completely different meeting, nothing to do with Corbyn
