英国以「反穆斯林敌意」为由, 推迟对伊斯兰恐惧症的正式定义, UK delays formal Islamophobia definition, citing "anti-Muslim hostility," amid rising hate crimes and criticism over weakened anti-racism efforts.

英国政府推迟采用伊斯兰恐惧症的正式定义, 选择“反穆斯林敌意”, The UK government has delayed adopting a formal definition of Islamophobia, opting instead for "anti-Muslim hostility," a shift critics say weakens efforts to combat racism against Muslims. 数据显示,到2025年3月,英格兰和威尔士的反穆斯林仇恨犯罪增加了19%,穆斯林遭受暴力侵害的比例特别高。 Data shows a 19% rise in anti-Muslim hate crimes in England and Wales by March 2025, with Muslims disproportionately targeted for violence. 尽管2016年通过了《国际人权法》关于反犹太主义的定义,但政府并没有将同一框架扩大到仇视伊斯兰教,允许在穆斯林在维持治安、就业和媒体方面面临系统性偏见时,以言论自由为由保护对伊斯兰教的批评。 Despite adopting the IHRA definition for anti-Semitism in 2016, the government has not extended the same framework to Islamophobia, allowing criticism of Islam to be shielded under free speech claims while Muslims face systemic bias in policing, employment, and media. 一份2024年的欧洲报告确认,欧洲各地的仇视伊斯兰现象日益制度化,并植根于政策和公共讨论之中。 A 2024 European report confirms Islamophobia is increasingly institutionalized across Europe, embedded in policy and public discourse.
