Tackling Islamophobia
Azfar Shafi, Byline Times, Tackling Islamophobia in ‘Terrorism’ Won’t happen by Sticking the Label On More White Perpetrators, 22 September 2020 "CfMM is right to be concerned about language, as language is indeed embedded in power. The media’s use of the ‘terrorist’ label normalises and shores up support for a term which, in the hands of government agencies, serves as a blank cheque for the use of some of Britain’s most powerful, repressive and exceptional powers – from raids, detention, citizenship stripping and up to warfare."
