Dominic Grieve to review Islamophobia definition

Labour has appointed former Conservative MP Dominic Grieve to lead a review on defining Islamophobia. This comes after a rise in anti-Muslim hate incidents, with nearly 6,000 reports last year, more than double from two years ago. The review aims to create a new, non-statutory definition of Islamophobia, addressing concerns that the current definition is too broad. The previous Conservative government rejected a cross-party proposal for a definition in 2019. Grieve's working group will guide the government on tackling religiously motivated hate. The Labour government emphasizes the need for a definition to combat the increase in anti-Muslim sentiment in society.
