Tory ministers back candidates accused of Islamophobia

David Vance, I think he's some big conservative honcho over in the UK. Wise words, starting off with his tweet below, he refers to the "Guardian" article as the "left wing media":

A week after a Jihad attack in London the left wing media focuses on... Islamophobia. A phobia is an irrational fear - is it irrational to be afraid of an ideology that motivates Jihad.

Tory ministers back candidates accused of Islamophobia
Exclusive: campaign trips seem to contradict PM’s claim Tories have ‘zero tolerance’ on issue

At least four ministers have gone on election campaigning trips to endorse Tory candidates facing allegations of Islamophobia since the claims against them came to light, the Guardian has learned.

In constituency visits that appear to contradict Boris Johnson’s repeated claim that the party has a “zero tolerance” stance on the issue, Sajid Javid, Matt Hancock, Andrea Leadsom and Thérèse Coffey have thrown their weight behind the accused candidates – all of whom are fighting in key marginal battlegrounds.

Incidents include one candidate who argued that Muslims have divided loyalties, as well as blaming immigrants for bringing HIV to Britain, and another who retweeted posts from former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson.

I don't know whether epithets such as racist, mysogynist, Islamophobe, and homophobe have been cheapened in the UK as they have in the US, but I would attach little or no credibility to "accused of Islamophobia".

Sounds good to me.

"Islamophobia" is a defense mechanism necessary to SAVE The West...
