Muslim organisations have caledl on party leaders to adopt the definition of Islamophobia published by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims.
The Muslim Council of Britain has expressed concern that Conservative Party MEPs supported the far-right Hungarian leader Viktor Orban in a crunch vote in the European parliament.
Amid fresh new revelations of Islamophobia, the Conservative Party is accused of turning a blind eye on the issue as it ignores widespread calls for an independent inquiry.
The National Union of Journalists has called on the press watchdog, the Independent Press Standards Organisation, to carry out an immediate investigation into the prevalence of Islamophobia, racism and hatred espoused in the British press.
