Rejected petition Remove 'Risk Guidance Factors' which Contributes to Modern day Islamophobia
The Anti-terrorism, crime and security act 2001, part 4 enabled foreigners to be detained as terrorist suspects indefinitely. This is problematic since then the number of reported hate crimes to Muslims soared by 593%. This law has conducted society to see Islam as a geopolitical force of terrorism.
More details
The influence the law has upon society is extremely significant so it makes sense why such laws are a problem. This law suggests that "foreigners" are dangerous and unfortunately this has lead to serious controversy in the public eye- evidently particularly towards Muslims. Severe physical, emotional, economic (looking at the national statistics, employers are less likely to employ a Muslim) and social damage caused for Muslims.To prevent any further complications this law must be deducted.
