Exclusive: BuzzFeed News has been briefed on plans to oppose the definition on free speech grounds.
Theresa May is to reject a definition of Islamophobia proposed by British Muslim groups, BuzzFeed News can reveal.
The definition has been formally endorsed by the Labour Party, the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish Conservatives. A source familiar with the decision also said there are legal difficulties with calling Islamophobia a “type of racism” because Islam is a religion rather than a race. But speaking on the Today programme on Wednesday morning, former Conservative party chairman Sayeeda Warsi dismissed Hewitt’s letter as “irresponsible scaremongering” and urged the PM to adopt the definition.
