Actions and views promoting Islamophobia should be treated as antisemitism

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

With the increasing violence against Muslims across the world, the government should introduce laws to deal with actions and views spreading islamophobia and hate against Islam and Muslim communities on different media platforms under the same laws and guidelines dealing with antisemitism.

Spreading hate against any community based on their religion cannot be accepted. This was allowed to happen last century against the Jewish community and culminated in the holocaust before the world took action to stop it with laws dealing with antisemitism. This is now allowed to happen again with media and politicians spreading hate against Muslim communities. Violence against Muslims is rising across the world. Irresponsible people spreading hate should not be allowed to continue doing this.
