Review effectiveness of Equality Act in tackling Islamophobia

Closed 131 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government need to review how the Equality Act 2010 actually helps to prevent discrimination on a religious basis against Muslims, and whether it goes far enough.
Muslims are sick of the rise of increasing hate towards Islam. People around the world are having to deal with hate attacks and discrimination because of a lack of acceptance. In some areas people are fearing for their lives in some cases having to hide their beliefs because they don't know what will happen to them. Whilst others are living in worry of becoming the next target.
