    Sorry, you are choosing how to define what is and is not representative of Islam, your argument is a strawman (to use one of your favourite mis-terms, and one of your favourite pass-times - redefining words to suit your argument).


    If you say a particular Muslim is not representative of Islam because they do not conform to your opinion of what a representative of Islam should be, then that is based on your belief of what the should be.


    Please define what you consider "representative of Islam" to be! (why do I feel like I've had to ask you to give your definitions in the past as well?)

    I've not been talking about any person or people - I'm talking about the incorrect (by all reasonable standards in which life & freedom are valued) use of the word phobia with regards to an ideology.

    Your argument only makes sense if it works equally well re-written as:
    Islamophobia includes prejudice against Muslims and Sadiq Khan is a Muslim.

    Yep,

    Nigel Farage has named Vladimir Putin as the world leader he most admires, praising the Russian president's handling of the crisis in Syria.
    ...
    One of Ukip’s most senior politicians has lavished praise on Vladimir Putin for being a strong leader and ‘very nationalist’.

    Diane James, an MEP and the party’s home affairs spokeswoman, raised eyebrows by expressing admiration for the Russian president during a debate with senior women in other political parties on LBC Radio.

    Asked for her views on Putin, she said: “I admire him from the point of view that he’s standing up for his country … He’s very nationalist.”
    ...
    German MEP Beatrix von Storch from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, who was asked to leave a European Parliament conservative group after comments about shooting refugees, said on Friday she will instead join the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) group, which is led by UKIP’s Nigel Farage.

    Will she have to be deported after a Brexit as she won't be earning the minimum 35,000GBP salary that the Tories want for foreigners? Will Nigel complain?

    Other items for review: ceasing all free IVF treatment on the NHS; cutting unecessary waste e.g the destruction of drugs in care homes when residents move on to the next care home or the next world; the pregnancy abortion time limit; compulsory abortion when the foetus is detected as having Downs, Spina Bifida or similar syndrome which, if it is born, could render the child a burden on the state as well as on the family.

    Actually the UK does have sovereignty otherwise it would not have been able to call a referendum
