MP challenges PM over silence on anti-Muslim hate: 'What does this silence say to my children?'

Описание: At Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, Shockat Adam MP pressed the Prime Minister on what he described as a pattern of silence over anti-Muslim attacks, contrasting it with the swift condemnation when perpetrators are of a different background.

Adam cited the rape of a Sikh woman in Warsaw where the attacker reportedly shouted Islamophobic slurs, a march calling for the expulsion of Muslims, and five Muslims stopped on the streets of Edinburgh this weekend, all without ministerial statements or a COBRA meeting, he said.

"My children, like millions of others, are kicking every ball of the England World Cup campaign," Adam said. "But I, as a parent, am really concerned about their security in this country along with other Muslim parents."
