The signatories, including survivors and relatives of people who have been killed by extremists, have criticised some politicians for 'facilitating anti-Muslim hate'.
More than 50 victims of Islamist-inspired terror attacks, including the Manchester Arena bombing and Bataclan shooting, have joined together to call for an end to anti-Muslim hate. In a joint letter, they warn that it is the 'height of irresponsibility' for unnamed politicians to equate 'being Muslim with being an extremist' and say some have been 'facilitating anti-Muslim hate or failing to challenge it'.
They say they are 'only too aware' of the threat of 'Islamist extremism' but highlight that it is wrong to equate being Muslim with being an extremist. 'This is not only wrong in itself, it makes the job of the Islamist extremists easier and plays into the hands of terrorists,' the letter reads.
