Muslim Leader Claims Canceling his Talk in Favor of “Murdering Women” was “Islamophobic”

Will this Islamophobia never cease? First they came for Osama bin Laden and I said nothing, because I only had three wives.
Then they came for Anwar Al-Awlaki and I said nothing because I didn’t counsel the terrorists who flew planes into the World Trade Center.
Finally they came for this guy because he supports murdering women and no one said anything because of Islamophobia.
A Sydney-based Muslim speaker has said the public outcry that prompted the Opera House to cancel his lecture called “Honour Killings Are Morally Justified” reveals the “extent and depth” of Islamophobia in Australia.
First the Opera House cancels your “Killing Women in the Name of Islam” show and next thing you know they’re locking you up when your stone your wife/daughter/second wife/aunt to death.
This Islamophobia is getting Islamophobically out of control.
Badar said people had jumped to conclusions about his views before he had a chance to speak.
“Things were assumed and outrage ensued,” he said. “That is the way Islamophobia works. The assumption is ‘we know what the Muslims will say’. This a very instructive case as far as that goes.
Sure.
You give a talk titled “Honour Killings Are Morally Justified” and women jump to conclusions about you wanting to kill them because they’re afraid of Islam.
That’s exactly how it works.
Just ask an Iranian woman.
“It says a lot about the reality of freedom and the space that minorities have to move in in this country, Muslims in particular.”
When will Muslims finally be free to stone women to death without any of this Islamophobia getting in their way?
He said he also wanted to make it clear that Islam did not support or condone any abuse of or violence towards women.
Unless they’re dishonorably marrying without permission.
