<p>I found this letter on a website. I'll post the letter here - the website owner redacted the name of the author, as he was unsure if this letter was meant to be public or not. The letter is clearly part of some correspondence between Tatchell ("patron" of Tell Mama) and a Leftist critic of Tell Mama.</p>
<blockquote><p class="western"><span>Here is the letter outlining this person’s concerns about Mr Tatchell’s involvement with the Tell Mama organisation.</span></p>
<p class="western">“<span>Peter, you asked me to forward concerns regarding TellMamaUK.</span></p>
<p class="western"><span>An organisation claiming to oppose bigotry, racism and stand up for those affected by prejudice has to be a good thing, right? The answer is no – if it behaves like TellMamaUK on Twitter. On first discovering Tell Mama my instinct was to want to like them. After reading the material and observing how they interact, I concluded that what they are doing is far from helpful. It is divisive, misguided and appears to have a stealth priority of protecting Islam from criticism. Regardless of how loudly Tell Mama protests otherwise, fighting ‘Islamophobia’ has emerged as a clarion call rather than battling anti-Muslim hatred. They’d argue that these things are intertwined. They are not. People in the UK care about fighting bigotry and racism. Rather than help victims of prejudice, Tell Mama has an approach which fails, in my opinion. Every time they cry ‘Islamophobia’, they distance themselves from potential supporters. Some victims might be put off too. Ali A Rizvi (below) sums up the danger of using the neologism ‘Islamophobia’:</span></p>
<p><span><b>“Words like ‘Islamophobia’ exploit anti-Muslim hate crime victims, using their pain to silence all criticism of Islam “.</b></span></p>
<p class="western"><span>On Twitter Tell Mama has an uncanny ability to favourite, follow and engage happily with some hate-fuelled sycophants. Complaints made about some of their ‘groupies’ are met with indifference (or disingenuous scoffing that they can’t police the internet). TM manage to police it pretty thoroughly when it suits them. A group claiming to monitor ‘hate crime’ can’t detect hatred or bigotry from ‘friends’? Recently, they appeared to allege libel over the mere questioning of their use of the unhelpful term ‘Islamophobia’. Incredibly, they did this in front patrons. I highlighted this to both you and Mohammed Amin. What action was taken to stop false allegations being made by Tell Mama? This kind of behaviour reflects badly on patrons, especially if they fail to act. It won’t go away by ignoring the problem.</span></p>
<p class="western"><span>There a disconnect between what some patrons believe and what TM does on something as fundamental as the use of the term ‘Islamophobia’? Tell Mama have played the ‘Islamophobia’ card with a rigid determination. They ignored genuine criticism of this strategy – often blocking those challenging. Private individuals can behave as they please, </span><span><span>Groups which have received large amounts of public funds should behave professionally online with a suitably impartial approach.</span></span></p>
<p class="western"><span>As you are aware, many don’t trust Tell Mama following press allegations regarding the incorrect reporting of ‘Islamophobia’ statistics:</span></p>
<p class="western"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/journalists/andrew-gilligan/10108098/Muslim-hate-monitor-to-lose-backing.html"><span>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/journalists/andrew-gilligan/10108098/Muslim-hate-monitor-to-lose-backing.html</span></a></p>
<p class="western"><span>They have failed to deal with these problems effectively. Damage limitation attempts have made things worse:</span></p>

<p class="western">They now have a reputation of being trigger-happy regarding crying libel or losing court cases based on criticism of Fiyaz Mughal:</p>

<p class="western">Tell Mama makes big claims about the importance of its work but they have relatively few followers. This is at odds with an ‘Islamophobia is at record highs’ rhetoric. Their feedback page also shows very little appreciation. The last thanks from an anonymous respondent dates back to June 2013. Most are several years old.</p>
<p class="western"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://tellmamauk.org/feedback/">http://tellmamauk.org/feedback/</a></p>
<p class="western"><span><b>Note the embarrassing feedback from Mo Ansar – notorious grievance monger and proven liar.</b></span><span> Tell Mama defended Ansar for far too long. TM recently complained about poor support from Muslims, having raised only £104 during a fund drive Online word ‘offences’ appear to take up considerable time. They become involved in petty disputes and attacks. There are too many to detail. Regardless of the perceived merits this does not look good to outsiders reading. The approach to blocking is questionable. My point here is to do with fairness. Tell Mama blocks critics, notably less </span><span><i>mainstream</i></span><span> Muslims, with ease. Yet it seems to encourage a core of orthodox zealots? Surely you can see how this reads? Does it suggest exactly the </span><span><i>type of Muslim</i></span><span> Tell Mama is most comfortable with?</span></p>
<p class="western"><span>They engage with illiberal, Ahmadi-hating sycophants (like carefulsoul786 and assorted zealots – nicknamed ‘The Twitter Muslim Patrol’).</span></p>
<p class="western">The ‘Muslim Patrol’ weren’t blocked for bashing ‘Quilliamites’ on Tell Mama’s timeline. Tell Mama fanned the flames with its own indignant digs at Quilliam. Are some members of Quilliam not Muslims? Is Muslim to Muslim hatred not an issue?</p>
<p class="western">Reading this and so many other contradictory pieces makes it very difficult to believe that recent moves to work with Quilliam will bear fruit. Tell Mama is a toxic brand.</p>
<p class="western">‘The Twitter Muslim Patrol’ – seen as indulged followers of Tell Mama love to have a go at gay people:</p>

<p class="western">Given your commitment to secularism, I’m astounded that you don’t see the flaws in Tell Mama’s Islamophobia led strategy. Have you read what Fiyaz Mughal has written? Or seen their criticism of The National Secular Society? Any excuse to tag ‘EDL’ into an argument:</p>
<p class="western"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://tellmamauk.org/national-secular-society-the-money-shot/">http://tellmamauk.org/national-secular-society-the-money-shot/</a></p>

<p class="western"><span><span><span>Mughal’s views are alarming, should you care about secularism and free speech:</span></span></span></p>

<p class="western"><span><span><span>Fiyaz Mughal OBE, said: </span></span></span><span><span><span><i>“Our work is coming across an aggressive, well focussed and organised campaign by militant secularists who think that people of faith are somehow irrational or mal-adjusted and this is deeply problematic. The actions of such groups are increasingly pervasive and even militant given that they are not willing to listen or engage in debate on occasions where faith is discussed. They simply dismiss counter-views supporting faith in the public sphere by disengagement or worse still obfuscation.”</i></span></span></span></p>
<p class="western"><span>‘</span><span><span><i><b>Militant’</b></i></span></span><i> </i><span><span><b>secularists demanding equal human rights for all alarm Mughal?</b></span></span><span><span>They may even want to sit down and discuss issues with him over a cup of tea – those demonic, free speech loving ‘extremists’!</span></span><b> </b><span><span>How can you overlook this, Peter? Where is the greater common good? You marched into a church to oppose those wishing to deny equal rights to gay people. Opposing or challenging religion is absolutely nothing to do with hating Muslims, Catholics or Christians. If Tell Mama wanted to help Muslims, why use the Islamophobia tactic? Surely free speech and equal human rights for all Muslims are worthy goals? What about less orthodox Muslims? Ex-Muslims? Why not help so-called apostates speak out by encouraging, not seeking to restrict free speech? They are victims of Islamic prejudice. The UK does not need </span></span><span><span><i>Religious Police</i></span></span><span><span>. Online or off. Blasphemy laws are not for us. Tell Mama needs to clear up its doublespeak around this issue.</span></span></p>
<p class="western"><span><span>My criticisms have been harsh. I genuinely believe they are deserved. I hope that you consider my points and what can be done to address issues. Only by working together can discrimination be eroded. Faith matters to individuals. I care about prioritising free speech and human rights not silencing criticism of religion. Britain has human rights that people in Muslim majority countries can only dream of. They have been forged despite religion.</span></span></p>
<h2 class="western"><span><span>Senders Name Redacted</span></span></h2>
<p class="western"><span><span>Letter ends</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Accusations of ‘Doublespeak’, silencing critics of Islam, acting like a religious police force, engaging in Islamic sectarianism and much more abound in this letter. It raises yet more concerns about the way Tell Mama is run and what it has become. This is a stinging attack on Tell Mama. Those like Peter Tatchell, who turn a blind eye to Tell Mama’s acceptance of sectarianism and homophobia, damage themselves and their own reputations.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>This communication is yet more evidence that Tell Mama is both a troubled and troublesome organisation, which taints all who become involved with it.</span></span></p>
