Chair of the Home Affairs select
committee, Keith Vaz MP, (not a Muslim. but a notorious kisser of Muslim
ass)
has introduced a motion urging police forces to record
‘Islamophobia’ (justifiable fear/loathing of Muslims) as a category of
hate crime.
Several
years ago, Vaz led a march of thousands of Muslims in Leicester calling
for Salman Rushdie’s book The Satanic Verses to be banned. He also
believes that people like Geert Wilders should be permanently banned
from entering England (see video below).
“That this House notes the recognition
of anti-Muslim sentiment and hate crime in the Department for
Communities and Local Government’s document Creating the Conditions for
Integration; further notes that the document acknowledges the limited
collection of data on anti-Muslim hate crime; recognizes that currently
only the Metropolitan Police Service specifically records this hate
crime under the definition Islamophobia as a specific crime flag,
similar to anti-Semitism, racism and others, whereas the recording of
this crime outside of London is under different recording flags in
different constabularies; and believes that all police constabularies
should record this hate crime under the same flag, which will bring
national uniformity in the recording of this crime and enable
authorities to gather data that will aid in tackling this issue.”
In the UK ‘Asian’ = ‘Muslim’
Recording Islamophobia as a category
of hate crime was one of the key pledges we sought from Police and Crime
Commissioners in our PCC manifesto last
November. It is vital for official statistics to reflect the full
extent of anti-Muslim hate crimes in the UK so that police forces can
allocate appropriate resources to tackle the issue.
Please write to your MP and encourage discourage him/her to sign the early day motion on Recording of Islamophobia as a Crime. Contact details can be found here.
