20 people, including, Katie Hopkins, Milo Yianopolous, UKIPPERs Anne Maries Waters and Nigel Farage and LBC’s Maajid Nawaz have been nominated by the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) for the Islamophobia Awards 2017.
They join a long list of organisations and people who have been singled out by IHRC for “those who have been the most Islamophobic over the past year”. The organisation said it was awarding them for their “accomplishments”.
In the UK category, the nominees of the awards, which has been described by the IHRC as a “satirical awards ceremony” are: Katie Hopkins, Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Anne Marie Waters, Boris Johnson, Trevor Phillips, OFSTED, Zac Goldsmith, Maajid Nawaz and Louise Casey.

The award is publicly voted and people are being invited to vote on the IHRC website.
Katie Hopkins pleaded with her fanbase to vote for her, saying that she had the “perfect outfit” for the awards.
Please vote for me as Islamophobe of the Year. I have the perfect ‘outfit’ in mind. https://t.co/VooiGrg56W

A statement from IHRC said, “The event aims to subvert Islamophobia through comedy and revue while simultaneously addressing a serious issue in a creative manner,
“The event, which includes a gala dinner, features a satirical awards ceremony in which those who have been the most Islamophobic over the past year are awarded for their “accomplishments”.
Winners will be announced during the spoof awards ceremony which will be taking place on Sunday, 26 November 2017.
Not a fan of any religion. And specially this poor excuse for a female
Why give these idiots a platform for their stupidity, you are just giving them credibility and enabling them!!
So, calling out Islam for being oppressive to women and the LGBT is wrong?
Define “Islamophobia”. The politicians can’t, they just say that any negative comment regarding the islamic death cult is, “islamophobic” and deserving of a gaol sentence. The fact that the occupants of mosques, worldwide, demand the deaths of all non-muslims goes without remarks by western politicians.
What a wonderful idea. Islam cannot possibly cope with ridicule. All hail to those who mock it.
