UK adopts anti-Muslim hostility definition amid rising hate crimes, boosting security and oversight without restricting free speech.
The UK government has adopted a non-statutory definition of anti-Muslim hostility to address a nearly 20% rise in hate crimes against Muslims in England and Wales from 2024 to 2025, alongside high levels of antisemitism.
The move, aimed at clarifying unacceptable prejudice without restricting free speech, is part of a broader strategy including increased security funding for Jewish communities, new laws against extremist protests, university protections via a whistleblowing channel and campus charter, enhanced charity oversight, an annual extremism report, and a strengthened visa watchlist to block hate preachers.
While critics warn of free speech risks, officials deny such concerns, emphasizing the goal of national unity amid global tensions.
Muslim leaders welcomed the definition as a step toward better institutional responses.
