The Conservative (now panderers to Islam) Party has suspended a number of members due to Islamophobic anti-Islam tweets which included posts that claimed Islam is the ‘religion of hate.’ (But it is)

Daily Mail (h/t Terry d) There were around 20 cases associated with the party who have now said the members who were found to have shared “inappropriate” (aka the truth) material on Twitter and Facebook were immediately suspended.

Officials have not yet revealed the number of members that have been suspended but are currently ‘establishing the terms’ of an investigation.

The BBC reported that they were alerted to details of the cases by an anonymous Twitter user and verified each one before passing details to the Conservative Party.

It comes as there have been repeated calls for the party to hold an independent inquiry into allegations of Islamophobia among members.

Incidents ranged from members liking anti-Muslim pictures, to members regularly posting Islamophobic content.

This is while another member, an independent parish councillor, who claimed to had worked on Boris Johnson’s 2012 Mayoral campaign, is said to have posted:

Other slurs included terms such as ‘Muslim scum’ and some claiming ‘I don’t want Muslims in this country’. The party has claimed that not all incidents involve party members.

In a statement the party said: ‘All those found to be party members have been suspended immediately, pending investigation.

‘The Conservative Party will never stand by when it comes to prejudice and discrimination of any kind.’That’s why we are already establishing the terms of an investigation to make sure that such instances are isolated and robust processes are in place to stamp them out as and when they occur.’

The Muslim Council of Britain has been calling on the Tories to launch an independent inquiry into alleged Islamophobia since 2018.

In a statement Harun Khan, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, said ‘We are not surprised by the latest revelations. They are a manifestation of institutional Islamophobia within the Conservative Party, and corroborate the polling done demonstrating the scale of the issue.’

The group also added that the fact former MEP Sajjad Karim has confirmed a serving minister had made such comments about him is ‘extremely serious and indicative of the scale of the problem’.

‘We have had senior Conservatives, starting with the Prime Minister, current ministers such as Zac Goldsmith and Nadine Dorries who all have seriously contributed to this issue.
