The Jewish Chronicle's editors know Muslims are fearful, as many in the Islamophobic far right feel emboldened.

Yet they choose now to publish this vile piece from the awful Melanie Phillips - as Islamophobia is on the rise.

Shameful.

We should not be surprised by the Jewish Chroncile - it's not the first time.

When many Muslims were reeling after the massacre in Christchurch, they published a similar hate-filled piece by Melanie Phillips

They lied about the @MuslimCouncil & had to correct their lie

They lied about a Muslim charity, falsely linking it to terrorism, necessitating an apology and paying libel damages

When Baroness Warsi speaks up against Islamophobia in the Conservative Party, its editor tries to slur her

In one of a *number of articles* intending to undermine the definition of Islamophobia, it made false claims of links to extremism, about Professor Salman Sayyid, which it had to retract

This latest article is not a one-off but part of a pattern of behaviour - an editorial line on Muslim-related issues as the thread shows.

Shameful does not begin to cover how awful this is.
The very platforming of Phillips & making Islamophobia to be up for debate (again) is awful in & of itself.

But using Quilliam to be the counter-balance to the vile Phillips demonstrates how little the paper thinks of Muslims.

Awful.
