Comment on Burnham Rules Out Coalition With the Green Party

The word “antisemitic” has been weaponised and worn out to the point of meaningless now.
The Greens are the only mainstream political party in Britain speaking out against an ongoing genocide. As such there is literally no other party I can bring myself to vote for.

“Islamophobia” is also at that point.

It’s a word now synonymous with racism. Critiquing a murderous religion is now comparable to brown people bad.
There wasn’t even a word for it in Arabic until recent. It’s an abberation used for nefarious purposes, resulting in attempts at blasphemy laws.

was not really worth asking to be honest.
islam is no more violent than any other religion.
So if you single it out for special treatment then that is islamophobia.
