Remove 'Risk Guidance Factors' which Contributes to Modern day Islamophobia

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

The Anti-terrorism, crime and security act 2001, part 4 enabled foreigners to be detained as terrorist suspects indefinitely. This is problematic since then the number of reported hate crimes to Muslims soared by 593%. This law has conducted society to see Islam as a geopolitical force of terrorism.

The influence the law has upon society is extremely significant so it makes sense why such laws are a problem. This law suggests that "foreigners" are dangerous and unfortunately this has lead to serious controversy in the public eye- evidently particularly towards Muslims. Severe physical, emotional, economic (looking at the national statistics, employers are less likely to employ a Muslim) and social damage caused for Muslims.To prevent any further complications this law must be deducted.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Part 4 of the Act was repealed in 2005.
