Muslims In Britain

EDM number 1079 in 2009-10, proposed by Diane Abbott on 12/03/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Ethnic groups and Racial discrimination.

That this House opposes the increased demonisation of Muslims in sections of the media; expresses its deep concern at the recent visit to the House of Lords by the far-right politician Geert Wilders; condemns the English Defence League demonstration outside Parliament in support of Geert Wilders and its slogans and placards inciting hatred, such as its demand for the closure of the East London Mosque, that will only lead to a climate of fear, division and disharmony; welcomes the participation and contribution of Muslims in British society, including in politics; and believes that the full participation of all communities in the forthcoming general election is in the interests of democracy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 93 MPs.
