Human rights is not the priority of those who employ and support the “Islamophobia” subterfuge where they ignore the women who have few rights, the gays who are murdered under the Sharia, and multitudes who are persecuted in Sharia states.
Anyone who calls out the atrocious human rights abuses committed in the name of Islam is smeared as an “Islamophobe,” no questions asked. The Antifa group Hope Not Hate is a vicious, hateful, smear group with an agenda: to impose its woke views and crush any dissent.
The group’s “research” director, Joe Mulhall, claimed that what was in the documents regarding the meeting of the members of the House of Lords with what are described as “far-right activists” as “pretty terrifying.” Yet there is nothing “pretty terrifying” in what is actually presented. What’s terrifying is the stifling of the freedom to engage in open discussion about Islam. Also terrifying is the willingness of so-called leaders to slander and defame anyone who encourages meaningful discussion about important topics that affect the security and well-being of a nation.
“Members of UK House of Lords accused of collaborating with far-right activists,” Arab News, February 26, 2023:
LONDON: An enquiry conducted by a UK-based advocacy group has claimed that some members of the House of Lords were alleged to have collaborated with far-right Islamophobes.
The anti-facist group, Hope not Hate, obtained secret documents that suggested the involvement of British businessman and former leader of the UK Independence Party, Malcolm Pearson, and Baroness Caroline Cox, a crossbench member of the House of Lords, with far-right activists.
Describing the classified documents as “pretty terrifying,” the group’s research director, Joe Mulhall, said: “Our investigation found members of the House of Lords collaborating with far-right Islamophobes.”
The Guardian reported on Saturday that, based on the documents, a secretive organisation called New Issues Group that includes Pearson and Cox and allegedly collaborates with far-right activists, has been operating out of the House of Lords for over a decade.
Although she admits that the group exists, Cox, however, denied that NIG was anti-Muslim.
“It was a meeting of people who support the aims of my bill,” Cox said, referring to a private members’ bill, first introduced in 2011. Her bill reportedly aimed to protect Muslim women in Britain from Shariah law. “I have strong support from Muslim women,” she added.
Maintaining that it was wrong to describe the group by anti-Muslim, Pearson elaborated that NIG’s “main purpose has been to support Cox’s bill.”
On the other hand, the secret papers further suggest that NIG tried to influence the UK parliament by writing questions to be asked in the House of Lords.
Explaining why details about NIG’s existence had not emerged until now and why it had no digital tracks, Mulhall said the group members were constantly reminded of complete secrecy. Founded in 2012, the NIG met as recently as January.
It was disclosed after Pearson sent an email to 235 people and accidently sent it so that everyone could see the entire list instead of bcc-ing them.
Pearson said in his email that Islam was a vast subject that if they attempted to discuss it in public they would be accused of Islamophobia.
“Our MPs are too frightened of the growing Muslim vote to discuss it. Several of my fellow peers jeer when I raise it in the Lords,” Pearson wrote in his email.
When asked about the email, he said it was about “Islamism, political Islam, and radical Islam, which I think we should be allowed to discuss without being labelled Islamophobic.”…..

I remember that when the IRA was at its peak and many people were killed in their attacks, no one was described as anti-Irish when it was discussed and refuted. Not even during WWII were people who fought against the NATZIs as anti-German; only against the NATZIs. It is impossible to fix a problem if people are afraid to even admit that it exist and Islam certainly exists with its faults.

Baroness Cox is a very distinguished member of the House of Lords and I have never heard her say anything untrue-nor indeed from Lord Pearson. As Baroness Cox says she certainly does have the support of Muslim women for her campaigns. Indeed, I was at a university seminar in which her name came up as an Islamophobe and another Muslim women denied this in the follow-up questions. Certainly Cox’s real views are well known and should not be misrepresented by HNH.
