Government efforts to protect Muslims from abuse will in "no way" restrict people's freedom to criticise Islam, the communities secretary has said.
Steve Reed told the BBC he believes a new definition of "anti-Muslim hostility" included in the government's social cohesion plan finds the right balance.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) last year raised concerns that a new definition risked creating a "chilling effect" on freedom of expression.
The social cohesion plan, which will be published on Monday, also includes measures aimed at promoting integration and tackling "extremist influence" in institutions, such as charities and universities.
An independent group, led by former Conservative minister Dominic Grieve, was established by the government last year to provide advice on a definition of "anti-Muslim hatred/Islamophobia".
This was in response to what the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government called the "concerning rise in anti-Muslim hate crime, which has reached record levels".
In December, the BBC saw a draft definition which did not include the term "Islamophobia".
The definition is non-statutory, meaning it is not set in law or legally binding, but will provide guidance to public bodies on what constitutes unacceptable treatment of Muslims.

And he lies about other things too.
How is it different from the anti-Christian definition?
Trust us. No, really, you can take our word.
Hate for evil is not a moral wrong, hate for evil acts is a moral good, hate for an ideology that breeds evil is a moral imperative.
[[ Government efforts to protect Muslims from abuse will in “no way” restrict people’s freedom to criticize Islam, the communities secretary has said.]]
God hates liars! according to an account on FR awhile back, And a man who burned a koran was STABBED by a muslim man who went home got a knife, returned, and stabbed him! The man who burned the koran was charged while the muslim man was NOT! The white man was charged with ‘inciting violence’ while the muslim man was not charged-
They are ALREADY discriminating against those who criticize islam even before the proposed new law
righteous anger is justified- just gotta make sure it’s not personal anger- anger agaisnt injustice is righteous anger-
saying you hate evil is protected free speech.
...Isn’t it?
True.
Exactly.
They really expect me to believe that given their recent history?
It’s insane that a sect that repeatedly kills those not in it gets such government protections
> Anti-Muslim hatred definition will in ‘no way’ restrict free speech, says Reed <
Mr. Reed is a funny guy. His statements are approaching a Monty Python level.
But any Brit who is arrested for even accidental âanti-Muslim hatredâ - he wonât be finding Mr. Reed very funny.

You’ll notice I dont tend to comment on a lot of this stuff & there are reasons
The chilling effect of censorship is very real but the censors always deny it
I have nothing but adversity to these in bred heathens populating within the United States...that’s the best way I can post it here on Free Republic. My disdain and outright ill will towards this insidious group of animals is beyond measure. Congress and the judiciary are catching up pretty quickly with their total inaction.
It exists.
LOL! This will almost guarantee complete societal breakdown if not outright civil war. Why did we bother to save a country that is now so overrun by complete imbeciles?
Just like they donât already jail people for stealing moly closing their eyes silently by abortion clinics. They donât do thatâŠ
They all need to be deported
Islam is a political ideology dressed as a religion, no different from radical marxism
Treat Islam the say we treated Marxism in the 1950s
