I sued the government over 'extremism' and I know the game Gove is playing

  • “This government has made it clear that it is using Muslims as a political football in a race to the bottom to appeal to the worst xenophobic sentiments and racist myths using dog-whistle politics.”
    Salman Butt, a Muslim public intellectual and the head of Islamic Thought at Islam21c, talks about the new definition of extremism revealed by Michael Gove, the UK's secretary of state for levelling up, housing and communities.
    He explains the aspects that caught his attention before the new definition was released and talks about the lawsuit he filed against the government after being defamed as a so-called "extremist" in a press release from 10 Downing Street in 2015.
    In this video, Salman emphasises that the British public should realise that Muslim scapegoats today - much like the Jewish, Irish or Black scapegoats used by demagogues of the past - are not their enemies.

    Good video. Antisemitism should apply to moslems of course, as Semite refers to a language group that includes Hebrew and Arabic. Israel has hijacked the phase as though antisemitism is he same as anti Zionism, it most certainly is not.. For the UK administration to claim that peace protesters are antisemitic and therefore anti Israel actually are committing antisemitism!

      The family languages of the Middle East shouldn't have been named after names picked out of the Bibles, nor applied to any of the Afro-Asiatic languages by Euro-American linguistics, as it's nonfactual, that's unrelated to the peoples of the Afro-Asiatic speakers, especially in a time of majority of the Afro-Asiatic speakers are neither belong to Judaism nor Christianity, the last one who believe the Jewish Bibles!
      Therefore Semitic only applies to the Jews people!

      Well done, but read the Qur'an and hopefully you will reconsider faith in our Creator...
      Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 28:
      كَيْفَ تَكْفُرُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَكُنتُمْ أَمْوَاتًا فَأَحْيَاكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
      How do you deny Allah and you were lifeless and He gave you life? Again He will cause you to die and again bring you to life; then you shall be brought back to Him.

      The whole point of the video, besides explaining to you that your turn will come if you support the government's crackdown on an ethnic or religious group today, is to explain to you that "radical Islam" or "extremism" barely exists in Britain or anywhere else -- it is represented by an extreme minority everywhere. The terms aren't remotely well-defined. The terms represent whatever the government wants them to be, subjectively, at any given time.

    Very good piece. It chimes with an interview* I saw last week where Baroness Sayeeda Warsi was talking about Michael Gove having radicalised David Cameron about Muslims in her estimation… seeing the news today about his “extremism” legislation fleshes out some of what she was saying at the time.
    (* I think it was for James O’Brien’s Full Disclosure podcast, but I saw her do a couple of interviews so I could be wrong. As a long-time Jeremy Corbyn supporter I don’t agree with O’Brien on his stance towards him for a start, but on other topics I’ve found we’re somewhat more in agreement!)
