About this episode

Fiyaz Mughal discusses his opposition to the government's definition of Islamophobia with David Rose.

Fiyaz Mughal OBE is a Muslim community activist who opposes the government's recent decision to publish an official definition of Islamophobia — now repackaged as 'anti-Muslim hostility'. He tells David Rose, the FSU's director of research and policy, why. Fiyaz is the founder of Faith Matters and of Tell MAMA, an organisation set up to help victims of anti-Muslim hate crime. #labour #IslamophobiaDebate #freespeech #islam Join the Free Speech Union: https://freespeechunion.org/ Follow the Free Speech Union: X/Twitter: https://x.com/SpeechUnion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/freespeechunion/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SpeechUnion
