Starmer warned as Labour MP calls for a 'blasphemy law' to tackle Islamophobia

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. -for-a-blasphemy-law-to-tackle-islamophobia.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Wednesday, November 27th 2024 at 17:00 GMT by Brian Stokes}

A Labour MP's call for a law to tackle Islamophobia has provoked concerns about Keir Starmer 's commitment to freedom of speech. Birmingham Hall Green and Moseley MP Tahir Ali raised the issue of hate crimes against Muslims as part of Islamophobia awareness month on November.

The article from The Independent discusses Labour leader Keir Starmer's comments during Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) regarding the potential reintroduction of blasphemy laws in the UK. Starmer criticized the government, particularly focusing on the case of a teacher in Batley who went into hiding after showing a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad in class, which led to protests and threats. He accused the government of failing to support the teacher and suggested that their inaction could be interpreted as a tacit endorsement of blasphemy laws. Starmer's remarks were part of a broader critique of the government's handling of free speech issues, especially in light of recent events where individuals faced repercussions for expressing views deemed offensive by some groups. The article also notes the political context, with Starmer using this issue to highlight what he perceives as the Conservative government's weakness on matters of civil liberties and freedom of expression.
