📅 27 November 2018 📍 United Kingdom

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims presented its inquiry into a working definition of Islamophobia. It characterized Islamophobia as a type of racism targeting Muslimness or perceived Muslimness. Consultation involved Muslim communities, experts and parliamentarians. This intervention challenged the reduction of Islamophobia to criticism of theological ideas alone. An APPG proposal is not legislation or automatic adoption by the UK government.
