The word \u2018previously\u2019 betrays a mindset informed by a Christian understanding. Muslims do not \u2018fall from grace\u2019 because there is no grace to fall from. In his native Pakistan, where he is apparently building a house while claiming legal aid in Britain, he still is respected. He has broken no Islamic rules. The rape of kafir girls in Rochdale is of no consequence to a Muslim mindset.<\/p>\n<p>The British establishment should be unashamedly proclaiming the superiority of Christianity, that Kingdom, which as hymn-writer John Ellerton wrote: \u2018stands, and grows forever, till all thy creatures own thy sway:\u2019<\/p>\n<p><b>Dan 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>The actual definition<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35087\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35087\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Dominic-Grieve-at-HICC-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-35087\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Dominic-Grieve-at-HICC-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"Dominic Grieve, when Chair of the Security Council and Member of Parliament for Beaconsfield, visiting Havering Islamic Cultural Centre in 2018\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Dominic-Grieve-at-HICC-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Dominic-Grieve-at-HICC-1024x677.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Dominic-Grieve-at-HICC-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Dominic-Grieve-at-HICC-1536x1015.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Dominic-Grieve-at-HICC-2048x1353.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Dominic-Grieve-at-HICC-750x496.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Dominic-Grieve-at-HICC-600x396.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35087\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dominic Grieve, when Chair of the Security Council and Member of Parliament for Beaconsfield, visiting Havering Islamic Cultural Centre in 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The webpage says: \u2018The Group\u2019s proposed definition will be non-statutory\u2019.

The \u2018working group\u2019 and the consultation itself seem concerned to keep any proposal of an actual definition under wraps. However, the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Muslims, which is nothing more than <a title=\"Opens in a new tab or window\" href=\"https:\/\/appgbritishmuslims.org\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>a pro-Islam pressure group<\/b><\/a>, has already let the cat out of the bag. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">It <a title=\"Opens in a new tab or window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.camden.gov.uk\/documents\/20142\/4794543\/APPG+Definition+of+Islamophobia.pdf\/f747d5e0-b4e2-5ba6-b4c7-499bd102d5aa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>defines Islamophobia<\/b><\/a> as<\/span> \u2018<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness<\/span>\u2019. <a title=\"Opens in a new tab or window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mend.org.uk\/whats-new\/action-alerts\/defining-islamophobia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Muslim groups like MEND<\/b><\/a> are pushing hard for ministers to adopt this definition.
