"Queering Islamophobia"

I'm buggered if I know what that means.

"Terry Goldie" sounds like a box of chocolates, an old advert for which has lodged in my mind. Click here for a taste:

Terry's of York, no less.

Intellectual readers tempted to sniff at the fact that my brain is full of tacky old TV adverts should remember that for a structuralist, a box of chocolates is just as good as Milton. And it tastes better - milton in your mouth is worth two in your hand and five in your brain.

"Queering Islamophobia" is a difficult one to work out.  As it's at York,  I would guess it's about insolent queers like Peter Tatchell  - who inter alia very publicly protested about Qaradawi - daring to say anything  that could be even  mildly construed as disrespectful of the RoP.  Perhaps Terry Goldie will invite members of the bunch of silly idiots who are outed  here to disabuse dissenting students of the erroneous view that islam is in any way intolerant of queers?
