NEW: Code of conduct on Islamophobia passed by Labour NEC. It includes the APPG on British Muslims definition of Islamophobia (with examples such as suggesting that Muslims, individually or as a group, pose a threat to British or European society, civilisation or values).
Naz Shah said: “This code of conduct confirms that the party takes Islamophobia extremely seriously and builds on the commitment we made when we adopted the APPG's definition two years ago. We must do everything we can to fight all forms of Islamophobia."
Afzal Khan said: “I welcome the party’s new code of conduct on Islamophobia. The code sets out clearly how to recognise and oppose misinformed and discriminatory perceptions and ideas about Muslims and Islam, with the ultimate goal of countering anti-Muslim racism.”
