“Islamophobic hatred” is a very vague statement. The wording would be very pertinent to the strength of the argument.
Eh? You what? Are you trying to say she didn’t receive islamophobic hatred? Based on what?
What you can do is write to your local MP and ask them to question Naz Shah on the islamophobic hatred she says she was subjected to so that your disbelief can be confirmed.

No I am saying the statement is very broad. Islamophobic covers from “I don’t like my MP being a Muslim” to “I am going to murder all your family based on your religion”. Both are illegal and wrong. Except the first will get you a slap on the wrist, and the second could easily lead to a prison sentence. Context matters.
I’ve just notice you’re very quick to dismiss claims of islamophobic abuse as “broad” and “it needs to be qualified before we take it seriously” in a lot of your posts and comments.
If “Both are illegal and wrong” (your words) why are you trying to defend it? Even if they’re both just “wrong” one would expect you to denounce the action as messed up or horrid. But you’re acknowledging they’re “illegal” too yet you’re perfectly comfortable dismissing it. “Even though it’s illegal and wrong we can’t believe her”.
Maybe it’s just the way you put things down in words, but it sounds like in all of your posts on this and similar subjects that you very much don’t want to give people of Asian background the time of day. I thought it was only Rishi and posts about his wife and the fact that you don’t like the Tories (and who does) but Naz Shah is a Labour MP. I thought you’d defend a Labour MP from abuse not seek to apologise for it.

Be sure to post the reply your MP sends you.
