Ironically, the people whom your sort idolize, I must assume, and seem to side with are the real fascists. An obscure, irrelevant Muslim radical political group, which you still haven’t been able to implicate in anything tangible (except being banned), is not worth a damn in the grand scheme of things. At best it’s a scapegoat for further crimes against less fortunate nations and peoples. Try looking up fascism and see if it really fits the bill. Don’t cry wolf, don’t overexploit specific terms like fascism, anti-semitism, totalitarianism and so forth. There is enough of that already. For a movement that isn’t even close to achieving anything, you sure have them pinned for what their ideology would look like. As for Sharia / Islamic law, which I assume you’re getting at, one shouldn’t be so quick to judge. I’d say Christian law is ruling the US for instance. And that every western society is underpinned by Christian values and legacy, which is just as bizarre.

You people are barking up the wrong tree. Try turning around and see who is about to stab you in the back instead.

You say Harry’s Place is Islamophobic ? You really are a nutter.

If you can’t see anti-semitism and a supremacy cult you are being blind. It is fascism, plain and simple.

Not familiar with “Harry’s Place” .. nor do I care. Whether you can provide a few leftist web sites that have succumbed to Islamophobia or whatever is of no concern to me. These are treacherous times and the board is set for fear mongering. I applaud anyone who can stand his ground but I can’t blame he who falters and succumbs to disinformation.

I move to sack anyone who is a member of a religious organization. One has to consistent right … As for the exact workings of the “HuT”, most of the information I could find came from Jewish Congresses so it’s pretty much useless in this context. And yeah, everyone knew his affiliations, he didn’t try to hide it, and apparently it wasn’t a problem until the witch hunts started. Don’t give me the grandstanding, if you’re so eager to prove something, do it. You can’t just come waltzing in here, and by definition besmirch an organization just because it has an Islamic political agenda and an Arabic sounding name.

Scott Burgess’s application for Guardian job was ironic. He made that clear on his site.

Why do you go for the kneejerk term “rightwingers” when the site that has been objecting most about the Guardian on this issue is Harry’s Place, definitely not right wing.

It was reprehensible to ANY decent strand of British political opinion for the Guardian to KNOWINGLY employ someone who flaunted his membership of HuT. His editors knew this for long time - the Guardian background piece says.
