- The same week
that Mr Yousaf was extolling the idea that Britain is a proto-Nazi
state and Pakistan a potential safe-haven, the Pakistani authorities
saw the latest round of the interminable and unforgivable saga of
Asia Bibi. This is the woman who has been on death-row in Pakistan
for no crime other than the crime of being a Christian. Bibi has been
awaiting execution for five years, purely because a neighbour
claimed that Bibi had insulted Mohammed during an argument.
- They attack the
Conservative government of the UK for Nazism while not merely
praising, but lauding as a safe haven, a state which actually
persecutes and murders people because of their religion.
- Which means
that he is doing what many other people today are doing, which is
knowingly to cover for a racist despotism, so long as it is
despotism with an Islamic face.
While Humza Yousaf (left), a member of the Scottish
Parliament, extolls the idea that Britain is a proto-Nazi state and
Pakistan a potential safe-haven, Asia Bibi (shown at right with two of
her five children) sits on death-row in Pakistan for no crime other than
the crime of being a Christian.
Is Britain becoming a Nazi state? It would seem unlikely, but to
listen to some of the critics of the Conservative government in recent
days it would appear that we are only moments away from become a racist
despotism.
Last week the convener of the Scottish Parliament's Equalities and
Human Rights Committee, one Christina McKelvie, pronounced that the
Conservative party is displaying "some of the most right-wing
reactionary politics that I've heard in my lifetime" and claimed
that the Conservative party's recent conference showed what will happen
in Britain "if we become bystanders and do not speak out against
discrimination." She said that some recent Conservative proposals
were "reminiscent of the rise of Nazism in the 1930s."
