Petition to tackle the rise of Islamophobia
Sign Now
Islamophobic crime and hate speech has been on the increase in recent years without any effective government or police action
There have been some very high profile Islamophobic attacks on Muslims and Mosques all over the UK:
A Muslim pensioner died from his injuries a week after he was ambushed outside the mosque and beaten unconscious by an anti-Muslim gang in front of his terrified 3 year-old granddaughter.
Imams have been attacked by Islamophobic thugs, entering the mosque and gauging their eyes.
Many mosques have been attacked with firebombs, bricks and even pigs heads, or vandalised and scrawled with hateful graffiti.
Muslim sisters have had their scarves pulled off in the street and been spat at and verbally abused.
Islamophobic hate speech from Politicians and media outlets:
1. Boris Johnson Islam is the problem comment (Source: The Spectator, 16th July 2005)
2. All Muslims, like all dogs, share certain characteristics (Source: The Guardian, 2nd May 2003)
3. Phil Woolas Supports banning of Hijab in schools (Source: timesonline.co.uk)
We are demanding:
1. MPs sign an EDM for parliamentary debate on legislation to ban Islamophobic crimes & hate speech
2. The Police publish annual statistics on crimes against Muslims motivated by Islamophobia
3. The Government ban the English Defence League (EDL) for inciting hatred against Muslims
I agree that Islamophobia is a real and serious threat to Muslims and it should be countered at every level
