UK PM Vows to Tackle Rising Anti-Muslim Hate, Calls It ‘Abhorrent’
"Anti-Muslim hatred is abhorrent ... and has no place in our society," Keir Starmer told the weekly Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
His remarks came in response to a question by Labour Party lawmaker Afzal Khan, asking the prime minister to outline steps the government will take to tackle rising level of racism and Islamophobia against Muslims in the UK.
In response, Starmer said: "The increasing instance must be addressed, it’s why we are increasing funding to protect mosques, Muslim faith schools across the country."
