Tell Mama Lies: How to Lie About Islamophobia
by Paul Austin Murphy (December 2016)
Although the image/representation above is from the largest “anti-Islamophobia” organisation in the United Kingdom, American readers will be well aware that similar organisations and individuals exist in the United States (e.g., CAIR, Nathan Lean, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Georgetown University, Loonwatch and many more). And, like Tell Mama, they too indulge in obfuscation, dissemblance and ambiguity. Indeed many happily lie for the cause of Islam.
The British organisation is called Tell Mama. This is how it sells itself:

We must ask two other questions. Of the “100 attacks on mosques and Muslim places of worship,” how many were reported to the police? How many resulted in convictions?
1) “Anti-Muslim literature”
2) “Arson/arson threat”
3) “Assault”
4) “Criminal damage”
Is arson “criminal damage”? If it is, then it could quite easily be the case that Tell Mama is counting the very same attack twice (i.e., under two headings). Once as “arson” and again as “criminal damage.”
5) Hate mail
If hate mail is anti-Muslim literature, and anti-Muslim literature is anti-Islamic literature, then anti-Islamic literature is also hate mail.
6) “Attacks involving pork products”
7) “Incident at a far-right protest”
8) “Threat”
9) “Vandalism”
10) “Verbal abuse”
What I said about “vandalism” and “anti-Muslim literature” occurs again with “verbal abuse.” Verbal abuse can be see as either “threat.” And, like most of the other entries, the words “verbal abuse” are splendidly vague. Abuse of what or whom? The Koran? Muhammed? A Muslim? Even if it were a Muslim, since Fiyaz Mughal has fused anti-Islamic literature with “anti-Muslim literature,” perhaps his “verbal abuse” may include abuses of Islam, not of Muslims.
11) “Violent extremism”
“Violent extremism refers to violent attacks (including bombings) as well as threats to bomb and burn down mosques.”

“lawfare” (as Tell Mama itself is). Indeed progressive/socialist lawyers are taking part in acts of lawfare all the time. That means that a large part of today’s legal profession is tailor-made to further the political aims and causes of organisations like Fiyaz Mughal’s Tell Mama.
