The Tory party must now open its eyes to the Islamophobia within its ranks
Whatever they choose to call it, the Conservative Party has a problem with Islamophobia, or “anti-Muslim hate”, to use the apparently preferred term. Thus, Mr Anderson has, implicitly, accepted his remarks were Islamophobic while his party leaders are still trying to insist that they were not Islamophobic, but merely “wrong”, as if Mr Anderson had made a simple factual error about Mr Khan obeying orders issued by unnamed terrorists. Indeed, Rishi Sunak seems incapable even of uttering the word “Islamophobia” or of accepting that his party and some of its supporters and ex-supporters are, in fact, Islamophobes who hate Islam as a religion and Muslims as an ethnic and/or religious group. More recently, while Mr Anderson “only” claimed that London and Mr Khan were controlled by Islamists, Suella Braverman, no stranger to headline-grabbing populist controversy, made the even more absurd claim that Britain itself is under Islamist rule, and implied Muslim people demonstrating against the war in Gaza are all antisemitic.
