Rejected petition We are calling on the government to adopt a definition of Islamaphobia.

We are calling on the government and the Conservative Party to adopt a definition of Islamaphobia / anti-Muslim hatred. We suggest the following definition: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.”

A leaked dossier in May 2019 set out more than 100 accusations of Islamophobia and other incidents of racism against people claiming to be Conservative party members.
